Event Information
Let’s Pull Things Apart Together is artist Karima Baadilla’s first solo exhibition. Her creative practice is informed by her personal quest to find her place in the world as a migrant settler in Australia, by exploring the emotional and psychological aspects of a person’s life.
In her work, Karima paints on top of old paintings in an attempt to create new spaces in existing ones. The aim is not to erase the past, but to add new perspectives and dimensions. The act of choosing to de-frame, re-paint, re-frame and then re-define an existing painting is to demand space where there is none. It adds layers of time, space, place and history instead of creating a wholly separate figurative world – rejecting the notion of ‘othering’.
Opening Event: Saturday 4 December, 11-1pm (RSVP required)
Opening celebrations will be shared with neighbouring exhibitions Hyphenated Biennial: The threads we hold together and BOLD.
Exhibiting: 23 November – 8 February
Opening hours: Tuesday to Friday: 9.30am – 5:00pm
