‘Rogue archivist’ Sam Cranstoun is a leading Queensland artist. His book You Are Neither Here Nor There documents his key projects of the last decade. It has been published in the wake of his 2023 survey exhibition at UniSC Art Gallery, Sippy Downs. It includes essays by Hamish Sawyer and Andrew McNamara, and a conversation between Cranstoun and Natalya Hughes. It features timely scholarship on labour, the archive, history, and images of modernity in Cranstoun’s work. Join us for the launch, where Hamish Sawyer and Cranstoun will discuss the book.
