23, Chantelle Mitchell and Emilie Walsh on the current exhibitions at Gertrude Contemporary Art, Margaret Lawrence Gallery and Incinerator Gallery

Chantelle Mitchell, a writer/curator and Emilie Walsh,  a visual artist, both Melbourne-based, talked about the current exhibitions: Hope Dies Last: Art at the end of optimism at Gertrude Contemporary and Margaret Lawrence Gallery, and Incinerator Art Award. Both Emilie and Chantelle’s excellent descriptions and insightful read of the works in these exhibitions have certainly opened a great conversation between us. I hope this episode would inspire you to check these shows out if you haven’t seen them.  Speakers:  Chantelle Mitchell, a write/curator/art manager Emilie Walsh, a visual artist https://www.emilouwalsh.com/about The exhibitions:  Hope Dies Last: Art at the end of optimism Gertrude Contemporary  http://gertrude.org.au/exhibitions/gallery-11/ Open till 9 Nov Margaret Lawrence Gallery https://finearts-music.unimelb.edu.au/about-us/margaret-lawrence-gallery  Opent till 16 Nov.
