- Australian artist Vivienne Binns is known for a diverse stylistic approach in a career that spans painting and community activism over the course of more than half a century. Hear the artist talking from her Canberra studio about how she became committed to surfacing ordinary women’s stories through memory and family connections from the late 1960s to mid-1980s when she worked deep within communities, and how she returned to painting in 1985 with a renewed passion for articulating her own experiences and emotions.

I am male, late 40s, engineer and self taught artist, ….I relate to this lady …how your version of art is your version of reality : NOT going through media images like Cecily Brown, Luc Tuymans, Alec Katz, to discover sources, she is her our source of art. Slow food, in the age of Fast Food Millionairist Art
Well she has a new fan what a wonderful woman
So great to see Viv talk about her work!!!! I remember her Mother’s Memories show at Watters back in what the late 1970s early 1980s. It was life changing for me.
What a wonderful record of Viv’s method and work. Brava!
Love what she said about acrylic paint at the end, "I wasn't necessarily making a painting, I was actually making a moulded plastic board." Mindbending!
….. and isn’t this really what art is all about. Perfect.
I just love how she says one thing, but then means another. Simply superb!
Love it!
Marvelous
Love
Despite not generally being impressed by most so called 'feminist' artwork that now abounds - I find Vivienne Binn's works of art surreal, meaningful, classy and absolutely mesmerizing. I hadn't even heard of her before - but now I am a devotee.She should be claimed as an Australian treasure.
Exactly
Kudos to her, you have to be very strong to be a woman in Oz. And to be a creative as well, it's a very bigoted and misogynistic place. I had to move back to the U.S., it didn't work for me living there. But it is a beautiful place, just the people in control aren't.
a moulded plastic surface - i wont forget that
"a brush stroke a month" hmm nice thankyou Tate
Probably the last person I would ask about art. Flimsy, disengaged theory coupled with hobbyist skills. Be outraged at this comment but google this person’s work and give it serious thought…..
Lol
Art is also a way of expressing yourself and she did it this way. Her way of communicating something to people.
You could say the same about van gogh and it would sound just as stupid.
Boomboom. You are an arrogant arse who really doesn’t understand creativity at its core and encouraging and supporting cultural expression at all levels. In the 1800s people in the “in” world of art excluded the “impressionists” as not being “real art”. Your voice and your mentality echo their narrow view of art. Creativity, risk taking, and a curiosity with a commitment to respecting the cultures you work in…. That is an artist.
