What are you talking about? Conversation Group

2pm, Saturday 16 November
Project Space/Foyer, Contemporary Art Tasmania
Free event

What are you talking about? (Previously titled Book Club) is a recurring event where we can come together to discuss ideas, in response to a curated reading list. Join us to discuss our second reading list, curated by Gabbee Stolp, one of the artists in current exhibition Apologue Isle (11 October – 30 November 2024).

What are you talking about? is a project that provides artists and audience with insights into artistic practice and process outside of the exhibition model, prompting us to consider what ideas, content, and material artists are engaging with as they shape the cultural landscape around us.
