ABC Radio: The Arts Show

Patricia Piccinini is known as Australia’s foremost artist exploring the relationship between humanity and technology, and the ethical tensions it inspires in the viewer. Daniel speaks to the Melbourne-born artist at her latest show A Miracle Constantly Repeated — where life-like silicon sculptures are spread among the hidden upper rooms of Melbourne’s Flinders Street Station. The city’s COVID-19 lockdown means the show, when it re-opens, will now run until the end of August.

And, what is the state of drawing in Australia? Drawing is central to almost all art practices and art schools, but why do some artists make drawing their only medium? Daniel speaks to Dobell Drawing Prize finalists Brian Martin and  National Art School Head of Drawing Maryanne Coutts.
