TALK: Friday Talk with artist Jude Adams.

Join artist Jude Adams for a tour of the exhibition Paper Cut as she discusses her own work and others’ including that of fellow South Australian based artist, Ann Newmarch.

Jude Adams has a decades-spanning career in the visual arts covering a range of practices and disciplines. The thread linking her work, whether visual, text-based or performative, is a commitment to feminist strategies and the significance of women's material practice. In the 1970s, Adams became an active member of the Women's Art Movement (Sydney 1974-76) (Adelaide 1978-85) and coordinated the Lovely Motherhood Show (1981), a collective-based exhibition that, like other 'memory cycle' projects, sought to give voice to women's experience. More recently, Adams has participated in the resurgence of women-only collectives, such as Feminist Renewal Art Network (FRAN) (2015) and co-coordination of FRANFEST (2017), a month-long, multi-venue event that included exhibitions, talks and symposia.

Please note: in keeping with the University's guidelines, space is limited for this event and registration is required.

Paper Cut is an exhibition of works on paper from UWA's Cruthers Collection of Women's Art. The 'cut' in the exhibition's title refers to both the technique and to the incisive cut of much of the subject-matter. It is a mass showing that reveals the particular strengths of the collection and the remarkable breadth of content, featuring many works on public display for the first time. A Paper Cut residency program complements the collection display, showcasing print media and paper forms currently being produced by four local groups in dialogue with the themes, materials, strategies and processes of the exhibition. Curated by Lee Kinsella, Curator of the Cruthers Collection of Women's Art.

Content advisory: Paper Cut contains images of deceased Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Some works in the exhibition refer to adult themes.
