Book Launch: Venus & Saturn, Lyndal Walker
Thursday 3 April 2025, 5.30–7.30pm
Join us to celebrate the launch of Lyndal Walker: Venus & Saturn, a comprehensive survey of the last three decades work by the artist. Walker’s solo practice intricately weaves themes of gender, desire, time, and fashion. Her photographs, installations and textiles interrogate the very nature of image and object, challenge fine art convention and draw attention to the process of looking.
Lyndal Walker: Venus & Saturn includes essays by Diana d’Arenberg, Charlotte Day, Brian Clark and a discussion between Fette Sans and Lyndal Walker. The launch will include an in-conversation with the artist.
This is a free event, all are welcome.
