School of Art Monday Lecture Series | Jasleen Kaur

Join the School of Art for a Monday Lecture with Jasleen Kaur

About this Event

Turner Prize winner Jasleen Kaur presents the final Monday Lecture of Semester One. Her artistic practice incorporates a wide range of materials, often combining photography, moving image, music or sculpture to create multi-sensory installations. Kaur uses strategies of cut and paste and collage to convey multiplicity, aiming to retain the ambiguity and complexity of human experience in her art.
