Artoble Podcast: Geoff Warn, Simon Gilby and Richard King

Listen to Lyn DiCiero in conversation with Geoff Warn from With Architecture Studio and Wallace gallery space and Being and Flux exhibition collaborators artist Simon Gilby and writer Richard King. Geoff Warn reveals the beginnings of Wallace and its unusual operating method that puts creativity above commercial value. Both Simon and Richard discuss their unique partnership for their exhibition at Wallace, where visual art and the written word meld and develop to explore new frontiers for both. Geoff Warn is co-founder of With Architecture Studio, and Wallace, a gallery space with its walls in Northbridge. With was established in 1985 and has over 40 years of commissions and awards across architecture, urban design, master planning, interior architecture and public art. The first exhibition at Wallace was in 2021 with a unique gallery model which avoids commercial and funded stereotypes and delves into interpretations which might not otherwise be seen.Simon Gilby studied at Claremont School of Art. He's regularly in group exhibitions, has lectured at various universities over the years and undertakes public art commissions, working with towns and communities across Western Australia. He instigated The Syndicate in 2010, championed and organised by collector Lloyd Horn, where a group of collectors pooled funds to allow artists to work unrestricted by income to stretch their practice into new realms. His work explores what it means to be human with changes around technology and culture. In this exhibition he explores concept of self in the modern world. Richard King is an author, critic and poet based in Fremantle, whose work appears widely, including in Best Australian Science Writing, The Australian, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Monthly and The London Magazine. His book, Brave New Wild, about to be launced at the end of the exhibition, asks whether technology can really save the planet. Listen on the go with Artoble Podcasts!
