🐜 Posted @withrepost • @artistprofile “It’s usually in early December that artists and critics are approached by newspapers and magazines to nominate their ‘exhibition of the year.’ I would like to step in early and state confidently that Susan Jacobs’s The Ants are In the Idiom, recently installed at Melbourne’s Buxton Contemporary, is my exhibition of 2022. To date, I have visited it five times.”

Peter Hill profiles Susan Jacobs, the artist behind his early-announced exhibition of the year, in our current issue. Talking with Jacobs via Zoom from her East London studio, Hill explores the figure of the artist as magician (and audience as “mark”), Jacobs’s early experience building and making with her father in Coffs Harbour, and a tendency in her work which Hill terms “neo-trompe-l’oeil.”
