THERE ARE NO MUSEUMS AT THE END OF THE WORLD… but there is an auction
It must all go. Back to the compost pile: to strike a pose for drawing students, a beautiful adornment for a sharehouse mantle, a lucky charm, stretched back into chook wire. Found, gifted, donated and recycled. It all must return.
To draw Susan Flavell’s seven year project Horn of the Moon to a close, JCG is hosting an auction of work and materials out of the exhibition. Via Instagram, you can bid to take home a work (or part of) by Flavell, who encourages for her work either covetous collection or the reuse of her work into your own art materials. Our Earth is not an infinite well - we all must take stock of the material cost we have on her resources and environments.
Susan Flavell is an accomplished artist with over 40 years experience. Through her diverse practice, Flavell explores themes of animals, nature, the environment, the unconscious, the fantastic, the monstrous, and the mythical. Flavell's work has been showcased in notable exhibitions, most recently, Storm the Gods & Shake the Universe, FORM Gallery (2023), Golden Flowers, Art Collective (2018), Horn of the Moon, John Curtin Gallery (2017),
The Dog's Artist, Fremantle Arts Centre (2016), An Internal Difficulty, PICA & AOTM (2015) and Freud's Desk, Turner Galleries (2013).
Contact Chief Auction Composters Paul Boyé (ppaulboyee@gmail.com) and Makaela Rowe-Fox with any questions.
Join us on the last day of the exhibition for the Auction Sale Day - Not only for the auction winners, come down to catch a last day bargain, some discarded materials and to see the exhibition in its final composting phase!
