Arboretum / The Map Shop
When: 2-12 May 2019
Where: Canberra Contemporary Art Space, Manuka
Tom Campbell / Kute Bash presents an investigation into critical ideas of place through textiles, objects and documentation. The works included in Arboretum / The Map Shop are designed to encourage multiple readings of place and location. Objects can become sites for inviting questions rather than asserting a universal answer. Come see several textile constructions, text-based works, and leave your feedback in the visitor’s book.
