Issue 33
In This Issue
In Issue 33 we discover how Joanna Braithwaite juggles humour, politics and her passion for animals in her paintings. David Griggs spoke candidly about his struggle with depression. We follow George Gittoes visit to Julian Assange, his establishment of the Yellow House in Jalalabad: all before he received The Sydney Peace Prize. Drawing you into the Archive, Judith Pugh writes an insightful essay about Clifton Pugh’s practice. Timing in with the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, we give you the break down one of this year’s most exciting events.
