Sheridan Palmer: Disequilibrium - Presence/absence in the art of Tony Woods (Histories and Theories of Sound)

During the 1960s the Tasmanian artist Tony Woods (1940–2017) emerged as a rare talent in the Australian art scene. In this lecture Sheridan Palmer considers problems of inclusion and exclusion and why a talented artist like Tony Woods became peripheral. Palmer is an art historian, curator and biographer, who has published extensively in art and literary journals. https://liquidarchitecture.org.au/events/tony-woods Histories and Theories of Sound 4 October 2018 Buxton Contemporary, Southbank Presented by Liquid Architecture, Discipline and Buxton Contemporary Image: A 1970 paint­ing by Woods, ​‘Pos­i­tive neg­a­tive’ For the past 20 years, Liquid Architecture has been Australia’s leading organisation for artists working with sound and listening.
