Event Information
Description:	Join artist Judy Watson in conversation with Louise Martin-Chew. Acclaimed artist Judy Watson visited Heron Island in February 2009 as artist-in-residence at The University of Queensland’s Research Station. Her residency coincided with the official launch of the Research Station, rebuilt after being destroyed by fire in 2007. Scientists speaking during her visit gave Watson an insight into how such remote and apparently pristine marine environments are showing signs of pollution and temperature changes linked to global warming. Her experiences resonate in a range of works in this exhibition, including sculpture and paintings, prints and drawings, sound and video. Curated by Michele Helmrich. Arts writer Louise Martin-Chew is co-author of `Judy Watson blood language`, with Judy Watson. Louise has worked in the visual arts industry for more than twenty years and is a former editor of `Art and Australia`. She regularly contributes to `The Australian` and other national arts magazines, catalogues and books. Exhibition continues until 22 November 2009. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body. Free. All welcome. artmuseum@uq.edu.au 07 3365 3046
