Artist Talk: Aaron Williamson
Thursday 04 March, 6:00pm, Associates Space.
As part of his Adam Reynolds Memorial Bursary residency, Aaron Williamson will be doing an informal show and tell about his work.
Aaron joined Spike Island at the beginning of February for 3 months and will be developing some new work in the lead up to Spike Open Studios 2010.
“As a disability artist (I am deaf) my work challenges the traditional valorisation of social ‘outsiderness’. Thus my performances and video pieces invent such figures as mock-hermits, sham-shamans, fake feral children, charlatan saints, dubious monsters: and humorously depict pathos, failure, setback and collapse.”
