Christian Capurro - making and unmaking

Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery

Christian Capurro's 'Another Misspent Portrait of Etienne de Silhouette' is a September 1986 issue of Vogue Hommes magazine that has been carefully erased by over 260 people. The participants inscribed the time taken to erase the page with its monetary value according to their current income. Discover how Capurro is interested in the idea of how erasure is manifested and how image making is simultaneously a making and unmaking process. A conversation with MPRG curator Danny Lacy. Our 2018 podcast program is supported by the Gordon Darling Foundation. Introduction by Nathan Schroeder, Music courtesy of The Basics
