Artist Talk: Graham Fletcher

Please join artist Graham Fletcher at 11am on Saturday, 3 March for a floor talk inside his newly-opened survey exhibition, ‘The Third Space: Ambiguity in the Art of Graham Fletcher’, curated by Hannah Burgoyne with Linda Tyler. 

‘The Third Space’ will survey works from across Fletcher’s oeuvre, demonstrating how he harnesses the ambiguous to bring together Pasifika culture and European art history in a cultural limbo.

This exhibition will aim to deconstruct the entangled web of cross-cultural negotiations and elusive patterning found across the artist’s artworks. Sculptural forms included in the show will harness the same mystical qualities present in Fletcher’s painted statues in modern interiors. Standing within the gallery, the viewer will find themselves in an intersecting cultural third space where themes can be negotiated and cultures can harmonise.
