.-Lehmann Maupin is presenting Quipu Girok, an exhibition of new work by Chilean artist Cecilia Vicuña featuring her first painted quipu, a recent video, hand-painted prints, drawings, and an installation of precarios that will engage a dialogue between Korean and Andean textile traditions and techniques. An artist, filmmaker, poet, and activist based in New York, Vicuñas work ranges from performance, to painting, to poetry, to large-scale installations that address pressing concerns of the modern world, including ecological destruction, human rights, and cultural homogenization. The exhibition marks Vicuñas second with the gallery and is her first solo presentation
From Behrouz Boochani to Bernard Collaery: photographer Hoda Afshar turns her lens on whistleblowers Kelly Burke
“The whistleblower is the modern tragic figure in our current society,” says Hoda Afshar.
The Iranian-born, Melbourne-based photographer is talking about her new series, a collection of striking, monochrome 3D portraits of contemporary Australians who have spoken out about injustice, often at their own risk.
“For me it was about the character, not the individuals, it was about their actions, and at the heart of it, there was something that reminded me of the Greek tragedies,” she tells Guardian Australia. “That’s why I chose the title Agonistes, because this is a Latin word that means personal injury and an inner struggle.”
In this on-going series of in conversations hear from leading individuals talk about how they use photography as artists, scientists, educators, publishers and curators. All our speakers are recent RPS Award recipients who have been recognised for their contribution to the medium. They are discussing their work with those who know them and their work.
