 DANIEL CROOKS AND DANIEL VON STURMER

Join us this Saturday for a discussion with Daniel Crooks and Daniel von Sturmer, two artists featuring in our current exhibition, A New Order. Both artists have engaged and experimented with the moving image for almost two decades, as video recording technology has evolved with the advent of smartphones and social media apps. What is it like to work within this space in the current moment when the moving image is so ubiquitous? ⁣
⁣
Following the discussion, we will walk from Buxton Contemporary to Anna Schwartz Gallery to view Daniel von Sturmer’s solo exhibition, CATARACT, on until 23 March.⁣ ⁣

Buxton Contemporary acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the unceded land on which we work, learn and create, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong peoples, and the wider Kulin Nations. We acknowledge their continuing care for Country and recognise that Australia’s First Peoples art and cultural practices have thrived here for millenia.
