Overlapping Magisteria Artist Talks: Isadora Vaughan And Sam Petersen

Overlapping Magisteria Artist Talks: Isadora Vaughan And Sam Petersen

Author: ACCA (Australian Centre for Contemporary Art) February 16, 2021 Duration: 53:47
Listen to artists Isadora Vaughan and Sam Petersen as they discuss their newly commissioned works for Overlapping Magisteria: The 2020 Macfarlane Commissions. Encompassing living organisms, kinetic installations and immersive assemblages, Overlapping Magisteria pays attention to multiple ways of knowing, sensing, feeling and interacting with the world. The works by participating artists draw on various social, cultural, technical and material forms, unsettling the lingering divide between nature and culture towards more complex realms of knowledge and experience. The artists in Overlapping Magisteria layer intuitive and sensory material responses with ideas drawn from across disciplinary as well as metaphysical domains to consider the possibilities of a world in flux, transformation and entropy.
