Artist in Conversation | Len Fox Painting Prize - Moya McKenna
Saturday 26 October, 2:00pm — Saturday 26 October, 3:00pm
Join us at CAM for the first in a series of talks from the Len Fox Painting Award 2024 finalists.
Moya McKenna is a Melbourne-based painter, her earlier paintings saw objects from her studio arranged into complex sculptural assemblages which were translated into paintings. Over time, McKenna has moved from describing the ‘literal’ space in front of her towards that imagined, or sensed, in the works themselves. McKenna graduated with a Bachelor of Art from Victorian College of Art, Melbourne in 1998 and a Diploma in Art from the Institute of Technology, Sydney in 1994. Selected solo exhibitions include Mother’s Foot, Neon Parc, Melbourne (2022); A zebra returns, Neon Parc, Melbourne (2019) and Branch line, Sarah Cottier Gallery, Sydney (2013) Selected group exhibitions include Animal Instincts: Moya Mckenna and Albert Tucker, Heide Museum of Modern Art, Melbourne (2022); Matisse Alive, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney (2021) and Anywhere but here: MCA Primavera Acquisitions, Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney (2020).
Miniature Worlds: Crafting Eco-Friendly Fridge Magnets
Sunday 27 October, 1:00pm — Sunday 27 October, 3:30pm
Dive into creativity with our hands-on workshop, presented by Moon Girle. The folk of Castlemaine, young and old, fell in love with Moon Girle's work as part of the recent Children's Sensorium exhibition. In this special workshop for young people, discarded materials become enchanting art! Create unique fridge magnets from clear plastic packaging, lids, and rescued decorative bits from sample shoes destined for landfill. Learn to craft miniature worlds using sustainably sourced, second-hand items. Perfect for all skill levels, this workshop transforms everyday waste into captivating treasures. Join us and leave with beautiful magnets that tell their own tiny tales and promote eco-conscious artistry. Age range - 6+
