Artist’s Talk: Thursday 4 May, 5.30pm, La Trobe Art Institute, 121 View Street, Bendigo

To mark World Autism Awareness Day on 2 April, OTARC is proud to partner with La Trobe Art Institute to present an exhibition – titled Expend – by multi-award-winning emerging artist on the autism spectrum, Prue Stevenson.

The exhibition will contain 3 works, with the self-titled work ‘Expend’ being a serial performance piece Prue has enacted previously in various forms. The version in this exhibition was created especially for the space in the week before it opened. This dynamic work involved Prue dipping her bare feet in paint before delivering hundreds of Taekwondo kicks to a stretched canvas on the gallery wall – a visible record of negative energy being transformed into positive creation.

The exhibition opening hours are:

• Monday – Friday 8am – 6pm
• Saturday and Sunday 11am – 3pm
