Vivienne Binns.
BOTH present-day and former Canberra artists feature prominently in this year’s $25,000 Australia Council Awards, announced today, April 19, by federal Arts Minister Paul Fletcher.
Veteran Canberra visual artist, Vivienne Binns, was the recipient of the $25,000 Australia Council Award for Visual Arts for a career that spans more than 60 years. She has worked primarily as a painter, although it is an installation work by Binns which is showing in the NGA’s current show, “Know My Name: Australian Women Artists 1900 to Now”.
Binns was praised by the council for having continually experimented and, alongside her painting practice, having embraced the mediums of printmaking, performance, sculpture and drawing, as well as for having made an outstanding contribution to Australian art, particularly in regard to feminist and community art.
