Tom will also discuss what influences his artistic practice and how COVID-19 has impacted him and his work.
MC: Dunja Rmandić, Acting Curator International Art.
Buildings are urban monoliths. Cultural institutions are perceived to be even more so. Tom Mùller's WA Now exhibition MONOLITH SCORES delves into what this perceived monolith sounds like, feels like, breathes like.
In parallel to his personal practice, Tom is also an independent curator, Director of programs at PS Art Space, and the co-founder and Artistic Director of the Fremantle Biennale (2017, 2019) which have included major international commissions by Swiss artist Felice Varini with his monumental and expansive 'Arc d'Ellipses' (2017), and Dutch innovator and artist Daan Roosegaarde's 'Waterlicht' (2019) - a large-scale immersive and experiential site-specific light installation calling attention to rising global water levels along Fremantle's shoreline which drew thousands over visitors over the course of its duration.
