Cripps makes meticulous structures that investigate the development of radical modernism and design in Australian art. This exhibition includes over 50 works and will bring together several of Cripps’ significant sculptures and installations. It will change twice during the installation to enable a comprehensive and episodic understanding of Cripps’ practice, and some works not seen since their first showing will also be displayed, including Another History for H.B & R.L,1991 and Entering du Prel’s projection: shells of past activity, 1976. Cripps’ practice has informed and inspired hundreds of Australian artists since the 1970s, when he first exhibited at the seminal Ewing and George Paton Galleries. His interests lie in the relationships between history and memory, time and space, ideas and possibilities for a critical contemporary art practice. |
