“It is a great feeling to have the project recognised by peers in the Australia Council selection process.”
Marking the 50th anniversary of French-American artist Marcel Duchamp’s death, the HERE&NOW exhibition offers a contemporary engagement of his legacy through themes of duality, process and disruption.
Ms Richardson said she was already counting the days until the exhibition starts on September 1.
“I love curating and working with artists, this is an excellent opportunity for an emerging curator and I am honoured to have been selected and supported,” she said.
