Jemima Wyman: Tactical Frivolity
Jan 29, 2016 - Mar 13, 2016
Tactical frivolity is a term used to describe protesters who employ humour, whimsy and the carnivalesque as strategies to resist different causes. This exhibition will present new works by Brisbane artist Jemima Wyman, including works on paper, wallpaper, collages, bronze talismans and textiles. Continuing Wyman鈥檚 interest in fabric and pattern design, the exhibition began with her thoughts about how best to represent 鈥渁 textile for our time鈥�. With this focus on the present, the exhibition and a number of the works draw from a vast image archive collected by the artist and takes inspiration from the appearance of contemporary, masked protesters 鈥� as well as historical precedents such as 1920s and 30s Russian Soviet propaganda textiles.
