On 1 September 2010 I will be presenting a public lecture in Katoomba (NSW)
Looking at, and Making, Art in the 21st Century
What does it mean to be looking at and making art in the 21st century?
Is art still relevant in the age of blockbuster exhibitions, video games
and reality TV? Why does so much modern and post-modern art look
like it was made by a three year old?
Dr Klabbers feels that “only art which has truth and beauty in equal
measures is able to move people. The rest is either interior decorating or
entertainment.”
In this informal presentation aimed equally at art lovers, arts
practitioners and those who do not understand art but would like to, Dr
Klabbers will be discussing some exhibitions he has curated, and would
like to curate, as well as showing visual and audio documentation of his
own works.
a version of this lecture was previously presented in tumut (nsw) at the montreal community theatre on 30 September 2009.
free csu wines and cheeses are served at all my public lectures.
