Hear from artist and fashion designer Jordan Gogos in conversation with multidisciplinary artist Nell. Together they will discuss Gogos’s first institutional solo exhibition ‘Parádeisos’ at UNSW Galleries.
‘Parádeisos’ unfolds as a sprawling environment where art and fashion converge, bringing together textiles and photography alongside wearable works by Gogos’s acclaimed label Iordanes Spyridon Gogos. Working across expansive, interdisciplinary practices, Gogos and Nell reflect on approaches to assemblage, reinvention, and world-building, where material play and collaboration create space for joy and collective imagination.
This program is part of ‘Artist to Artist’, an ongoing series of conversations at UNSW Galleries, bringing together practitioners with shared interests and material concerns.
