Artist Talks: Ian Strange | ISLAND & I WAS HERE

 

Meet the artists behind the exhibitions in this relaxed, informative tour of ISLAND and I WAS HERE, led by FAC Curator Dr Ric Spencer. New York-based artist Ian Strange will share stories of the foreclosed homes in Ohio’s Rust Belt that he’s captured in ISLAND. Plus hear from I WAS HERE curator Anna Louise Richardson (WA) and artists Tom Buckland (ACT), Wanda Gillespie (NZ) and Alex Seton (NSW) as they discuss their remaking of history.
