Meet fellow art loving friends and find out tips and hints for advancing your art practice through a series of professional development session. The sessions are guided by experienced practicing artist who will encourage participants to develop both creative and professional skills.
Casula Powerhouse is launching Generator: Master Art Classes. Our first session is led by artist Jagath Dheerasekara to celebrate the exhibition Loss. Jagath will go into the creative art making processes of creating and developing a political and social art practice.
About Jagath Dheerasekara: Jagath Dheerasekara is an Amnesty International Human Rights Innovation Fund Grant recipient. He was granted political asylum in France in the early 90s when he had to leave Sri Lanka due to political and human rights activism. On returning to Sri Lanka, Jagath began a career in telecommunications and his second spell of art in photography. As time went by, both his personal and commissioned work took an increasingly larger role. He settled in Australia with his family in 2008. Jagath’s multi-disciplinary work is chiefly informed by his personal and collective memory and the incidents of fragility of the principles of humanity. He has presented his work in a number of solo exhibitions and selected group exhibitions. His work is held in both institutional and private collections. Jagath lives and works in south-west Sydney.
Casula Powerhouse is proud to have commissioned Jagath Dheerasekara to create two ambitious new artworks exhibited in the Turbine Hall as part of the exhibition LOSS. LOSS also features works by Damon Amb, Miriam Cabello, Blak Douglas and Linda Sok.
