005 Direct, Directed, Directly at Samstag Museum of Art
Welcome to an unusal audio tour of a contemporary exhibition at Samstag Museum of Art. How do we say what we need to say, and who’s listening? Are we making sense? What’s the point in trying?
This amazing group of contemporary artists explore communication and connection, and this podcast attempts yet another translation into audio description. Artist featured are Richard Bell (Kamilaroi, Kooma, Jiman and Gurang Gurang) / Madison Bycroft / Kuba Dorabialski / Danielle Freakley / Christine Sun Kim and Thomas Mader / Monte Masi / Chunxiao Qu.
