Join Dr David Sequeira (Associate Professor, University of Melbourne) for an Art Talk focused on the life, art and writings of German-American artist and teacher, Josef Albers. Focussing on Albers’ Homage to the Square paintings and prints, the Art Talk will highlight Albers’ visionary and influential understandings of the value and resonance of colour.
Dr David Sequeira is Director of the Fiona and Sidney Myer Gallery at the Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne. Much of Dr Sequeira’s research has focused on the use of colour and geometry in the creation of contemplative experiences for viewers. In addition to the ongoing themes of colour, geometry and contemplation, his current research explores curatorship as arts practice. Implicit in this research is an investigation of language and information within the context of space and time. His research practice incorporates painting, sculpture, installation, photography, curatorship and visual arts policy, advocacy and audience engagement. Dr Sequeira has exhibited his work extensively throughout Australia and beyond and his work is held in important public collections.
Art Talks are a free weekly program. Hear from artists, curators and experts on the works in our collection and exhibition program. Anni and Josef Albers is on display at the National Gallery from the 8 June – 22 September 2024.
This program is wheelchair accessible and four assistive listening devices will be available for attendees who are hard of hearing. Please email [email protected] for more information.
