Informality Gallery Exhibition: Anthony White at the Rodd
Informality Gallery based in Market Place Henley have announced their new online exhibition in collaboration with The Sidney Nolan Trust. The exhibition shows Anthony’s work throughout the former home of renowned Australian artist Sidney Nolan.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The exhibition supports a postponed residency where Anthony White was to travel to Australia and research the archive of Sidney Nolan. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
‘I’m interested to research themes which are relevant to the core of my practice. Sidney Nolan’s Eureka Stockade mural (1962-1965) is a work of national importance which commemorates the rebellion of a group of miners during Australia’s Nineteenth-Century gold rush. My research, to be conducted in Australia, will inform a new body of work examining sovereign power, dissent and the efficacy of civil disobedience. By investigating the National Library of Australia’s Sidney Nolan archive, I will explore Nolan’s interest in the use of art as a political tool and to what degree that brief period of civil disobedience in Australia’s history has shaped any sense of an Australian national ethos.’⠀⠀⠀

Exhibition is now live on the Informality Gallery website and runs from 21st May – 25th June. ⠀⠀⠀⠀
