As a boy from Western Sydney who left school at 16, and fifteen years later was exhibiting at Venice Biennale, Gladwell speaks to ArtsHub about career fatigue, staying true and punking it out with materials.
Shaun Gladwell has spent the past nine years living abroad, and his career has experienced indomitable success internationally, and yet, a new exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA) is his first major survey exhibition in Australia.
Gina Fairley is ArtsHub's Senior Contributor, after 12 years in the role as National Visual Arts Editor. She has worked for extended periods in America and Southeast Asia, as gallerist, arts administrator and regional contributing editor for a number of magazines, including Hong Kong based Asian Art News and World Sculpture News. She is an Art Tour leader for the AGNSW Members, and lectures regularly on the state of the arts. She is based in Mittagong, regional NSW.
