The New Art School Rules!
Curated by John Rooney, Malcolm Garrett, Kat Au and John Owens.
The art school is a place where formative notions of creative endeavour are made; it is a complex space; it is as much a state of mind as a specific location and not every creative went to a “traditional” art school.
This exhibition presents a new collective manifesto of formative rules for creative practice made from more than 100 submissions received by the museum from contemporary artists, designers and image-makers.
