Stuart Ringholt: Kraft
Stuart Ringholt is one of Australia鈥檚 most fearless contemporary artists. His practice has involved leading audiences on naturist gallery tours, anger workshops, and participatory performance works that place the artist in embarrassing situations. He makes video, absurdist sculpture, painted mirrors and collage. In 2006 he published the autobiographical book Hashish psychosis: what it鈥檚 like to be mentally ill and recover.
The museum-wide exhibition at MUMA presents two ambitious new commissions shown in context with a selected survey of recent video, drawing, collage and sculptural works. Ringholt鈥檚 art practice addresses personal themes such as our fear of embarrassment and the pressure to conform to social norms, with the role of art cast as a potentially cathartic and re-energising force.
