Right now, artists need to gather.
We need to find the space and time to reconnect with our practice and with one another.
To ask one another the kinds of questions that reinvigorate what art means to us today.
To immerse in an environment that’s dedicated to what we create, how and why. To be guided thoughtfully with provocations, diagrams, movement, objects, scenarios. To be courageous. To be ambitious. To reaffirm our practice as essential to the public good. To rediscover our passion, map our space and take our time.
We need new frameworks for practice.
Esther Anatolitis creates frameworks where new thinking can emerge. Across three decades she has brought artists, architects and designers together to engage in much-needed critical reflection that invigorates our thinking and extends our practice. Trained by architects at the Bauhaus in Germany, as well as philosophers, artists, lawyers, journalists and broadcasters in Australia, Esther’s facilitation toolkit is sophisticated, dazzlingly diverse and highly focused. From standalone workshops to multi-day gatherings, Esther facilitates creative transformation with lasting impact.
The relationship between art and the civic realm is Esther’s public practice as a writer, editor and broadcaster. Creative strategy, policy and precincts form Esther’s professional practice at Test Pattern. Frameworks for Practice is Esther’s curatorial focus: a long-term commitment to facilitating the spaces where artistic practice can flourish.
