Event Duration: 120 minutes

Liquid Architecture, Ensayos, Institute of Modern Art (IMA) Brisbane and Curatorial Practice at Monash Art Design and Architecture (MADA) are pleased to present a special performative lecture by the Chilean poet, artist, filmmaker and activist Cecilia Vicuña.

Cecilia Vicuña - The Artist As… Poet

Vicuña’s lecture is part of The Artist As… a year-long lecture series co-presented by the IMA and Curatorial Practice at MADA. The series examines the ways artists move through the world, and how that movement might involve adopting other roles to pursue a project, a position, a politics, or a practice. For any given project the artist may act as architect, as ethnographer, as archivist, as producer, as curator, as activist, as choreographer, and so on. The Artist As… also recognises that many artists come to their practice as experts in other fields, bringing with them specialist knowledge that informs and shapes their work.

Q&A will be moderated by the Melbourne-based, Chilean curator, Camila Marambio.

Cecilia Vicuña’s multifaceted work addresses the pressing concerns of the modern world; ecological destruction, human rights and cultural homogenization. Born and raised in Santiago de Chile, she has been in exile since the early 1970s, after the military coup against elected president Salvador Allende.
