Daniel Crooks
Structured Light
9th – 16th October 2022
National Gallery of Australia
Daniel Crooks’ Structured Light, curated by Elspeth Pitt, returns to the National Gallery of Australia for its 40th anniversary.
Crooks’ project – Structured Light – celebrates the design of the original National Gallery building by architect, Col Madigan. Using Madigan’s geometric language as a point of departure, Crooks transforms the Gallery façade through visual manipulations spanning geometry, perspective, colour and light. A score by Byron Scullin responds to Madigan’s brutalist architecture and sense of sacred geometry.
Daniel Crooks: Structured Light is part of The Balnaves Contemporary Series and is presented in partnership with Events ACT.cr
