In Conversation with Marian Tubbs and Daniel Browning, Performance by Laura Hunt
Saturday 21 January 2023
The Northern Rivers Community Gallery (NRCG) launches its 2023 Public Programs this January with a free after-hours in-conversation event with exhibiting artist Marian Tubbs and ABC Radio National presenter Daniel Browning. This will be followed by a live improvised sound performance by Eora/Sydney-based electronic and mixed-media artist Laura Hunt.
Commencing in the Gallery at 3pm on Saturday 21 January, Bundjalung and Kullilli man Daniel Browning – an award-winning journalist, broadcaster, documentary maker, sound artist and writer, will provide unscripted insight into Marian's exhibition Reversible Destiny, on display at NRCG from 11 January until 5 March 2023, and delve into her practice and career.
This is the first solo exhibition Marian has held in the Northern Rivers since moving her practice to the region in 2019. Since relocation she has participated in multiple themed exhibitions, curated exhibitions of emerging artists and has overseen three graduation exhibitions as Course Coordinator of the Bachelor of Art and Design at Southern Cross University.
The artist talk will be followed by a live, improvised, ambient, sonic performance by electronic musician and mixed media artist, Laura Hunt. Building on her five-year relationship of creative and technical collaboration with Tubbs, Hunt will draw samples from the soundtrack to Marian's video work, and perform a live, improvised collaboration within the Gallery space.
Tubbs and Hunt met in 2017 whilst DJing at an art festival in Tasmania, and since then have formed a collaborative relationship across forms and creative mediums, exhibiting together, swapping creative and technical expertise, and learning about permaculture farming in the Northern Rivers.
