THE LEARNING CENTRE, 2010-12
The Learning Centre traded art for knowledge from members of the public. Staged in an installation in the gallery, in return for a lesson on a topic, the artist offers participants a painting of their choice. The Learning Centre mines the principles, objectives and knowledge we uphold in order to find or maintain meaning. Lessons ranged from anarchism, transcendental meditation, Slovenian performance art, socialism, break ups, bee hotels, organic gardening, wine, cheese and cider making, alchemy and paranormal investigation, and biochemistry. Staged at Tin Sheds Gallery and Fremantle Arts Centre Studios.
