Artistic Approaches in Dialogue with Jack Shadbolt

Moderated by Curatorial Fellow Andrea Valentine-Lewis

June 6, 2026 | 1:00–2:30 PM (Doors at 12:30 PM)

Join us for a compelling conversation that brings contemporary artistic voices into dialogue with the legacy of Jack Shadbolt. Artistic Approaches in Dialogue with Jack Shadbolt centres on the creative processes and research practices of two artists featured in One Hundred Artists Deep: Alex Gibson and Chantal Gibson (no relation). Both artists undertook deep engagement with selected works by Shadbolt from the Artists for Kids Collection, drawing from their distinct histories, identities, and artistic practices.

Through their sculptural responses, Alex and Chantal offer expanded perspectives on Shadbolt’s work and its resonance in 2026. Moderated by Curatorial Fellow Andrea Valentine-Lewis, this talk invites audiences to consider how contemporary art responds to artistic legacy not as something fixed, but as material to be questioned, reshaped, and revalued in the present.
