Archibald-winning artist Julia Gutman will unveil her largest artwork to date at AGWA next week on Saturday, 5 October. 'life in the third person' is not only ambitious in scale, sitting at 15 x 3.3 metres, but it is also a material leap for the artist, who is known for stitching together donated garments to create narrative tableaux. This work is jacquard woven, a first for the artist, and composed on a 3-metre loom at Textiel Lab in the Netherlands. Gutman’s work has been described as “painting with fabric”, her 2023 Archibald Prize win represented an institutional acknowledgement of this expanded approach. Her work draws on motifs from historical painting to reflect on the interpersonal, projection, intimacy and the performance of selfhood. 'life in the third person' opens at AGWA on Saturday 5 October 2024. The exhibition will be officially launched at a special event with the artist on 25 October – the details of which will be rolled out soon.
