Bill Henson in conversation with John McDonald
To coincide with MGA’s current exhibition, Bill Henson: The light fades but the god’s remain, MGA will host an intimate evening with Bill Henson in conversation with John McDonald, art critic for The Sydney Morning Herald. Together they will tease out the impact of place, landscape, and memory on Henson's practice. The light fades but the gods remain is a major exhibition showcasing two key series by Bill Henson, one of Australia’s most eminent artists, exploring the suburb of Glen Waverley where he grew up.
In celebration of MGA’s 25th anniversary, Bill Henson was commissioned to revisit the suburb of his childhood and to produce a new body of work that reflects upon his earlier series, Untitled 1985–86, known by many as ‘the suburban series’.
