COLLECT TALK - CORINNE JULIUS, saturday 26 febRUARY

collect booth talk: CURATOR AND JOURNALIST CORRINE JULIUS TALKS WITH ANE CHRISTENSEN AND Patrick Davison

SATURDAY 26 FEBRUARY, 17:00 FIVE (E7, EAST WING)

Except for the makers’ shared material, the practices of Ane Christensen and Patrick Davison couldn’t appear more opposite. A conversation between these contrasting makers will be chaired by curator and journalist Corinne Julius. Working with hugely different scale and technique, they share fundamental values and struggles. This conversation explores their methods and their shared disregard for the ‘correct’ way of making.

Collect Booth talks are dynamic events that happen on a stand for the visitors that are there at the time of the talk - there is no pre booking for booth talks, just come along!
