Opening Speaker:
Opening this Saturday, the National Gallery of Victoria will present US based Harrell Fletcher's The sound we make together (Melbourne).
The installation is a collaboration with seven Melbourne based groups including Arts Project Australia, CERES, Crooked Rib Art, Footscray Community Arts Centre, Grainger Museum, Hell Gallery, RISE, and two individuals, Herb Patten and Jeff Sparrow.
Harrell Fletcher's practice is based on working with people outside the art world, where he has created art through collaboration and participation.
"For almost a decade Harrell Fletcher has been creating works of art that are based on the aspirations and talents of others.
"Fletcher’s art is really all about you, rather than all about him. In the end, it is his focus on the lives of average people accessed through an unusual degree of sincerity and generosity that defines his artistic mode" Alex Baker, Senior Curator, Contemporary Art, NGV.
