Richard Tipping with Glen Barkley
In conversation with Glen Barkley, curator at the MCA, Richard Tipping gave a lively address last night at his solo exhibition at Australian Galleries. I found it interesting to learn of his early work as a concrete poet: it made so much sense and put the more recent body of work with signage and urban intervention in context.
In conversation at the conclusion of the talk a member of the audience commented eloquently that Tipping's work expresses "the triumph of the human spirit over the banal". This is evidenced nowhere more clearly than the double signage intervention piece photographed at Bondi that read "SING HUM". Inspiring work.
