An Artist, an Architect and a Curator
Saturday 29 August | FREE EVENT
Join artist Consuelo Cavaniglia as she discusses her first significant solo show, in the distance a pool of light was not what it seemed, with architect and lecturer Philip Goldswain and exhibition curator Leigh Robb.

Come down to the Central Galleries before the talk for the guided tour of Derek Kreckler’s Accident & Process with Derek Kreckler and Hannah Mathews, Accidents & Experiments: Artist & Curator Tour at 3pm.
