SAM Talks: Jason Phu, in conversation (CANCELLED)
Location
About
Join artist, Jason Phu, and SAM Exhibitions Curator, Jessica O'Farrell in discussing Phu's new work situated on SAM's Furphy Art Wall.
'Some of the things that have come and gone with the waters' is a site responsive wall painting by Jason Phu. This work responds to the idea that the waterways and river systems of the Goulburn Valley are the bearers and containers of the stories of generations of people who live here. His playful painting style incorporates a rich array of references from personal narratives, historical events, poetry, humour, and everyday vernacular.
Phu is a multidisciplinary artist who works across painting, drawing, installation, performance, and film. His diverse practice is driven by an interest in ideas of identity, family, and culture, informed by his experience growing up in Australia as the child of first-generation Chinese Vietnamese immigrants.
Location: Level 4, SAM.
Time: 5:30pm for a 6pm start.
