June 8, 2022 @ 8:00 am - November 30, 2022 @ 5:00 pm

christian thompson

An exciting new exhibition of Aboriginal Australian contemporary artist, Dr. Christian Thompson, is currently on at Soho Photography Quarter (SPQ) in Ramillies Place. Being Human Human BeingĀ is an immersive site-specific installation of works including a large-scale art frieze, cross street banners, a sound scape and projections.

Formally trained as a sculptor, Thompson’s multidisciplinary practice engages mediums such as photography, video, sculpture, performance and sound. His works explore constructs and ideas of identity, sexuality, gender, cultural hybridity, memory and history, often highlighting the relationships between these concepts and the environment.Ā  He uses his own identity and multicultural background to interrogate and re-appropriate established, predominantly white systems of reference, as a way of imagining new personal positions.Ā Throughout his work, he creates and inhabits a range of personae through performance and what he calls ā€˜anti-portraits’, incorporating handcrafted costumes and carefully orchestrated poses and backdrops.

FREE ENTRY.
