Interview with Emily Parsons-Lord

The Churchie Emerging Art Prize 2000 Winner

4 November 2020

Emily Parsons-Lord, winner of The Churchie Emerging Art Prize 2000, talks to exhibition curator Talia Smith. Parsons-Lord is concerned with air and explosions. Recent work has recreated the air from past eras in Earth’s evolution, recreated starlight in coloured smoke, and experimented with pheromones, aerogel, and explosions. She was included in the 2016 Primavera; 2017 NSW Visual Arts Fellowship; 2017 Liveworks; 2016 Bristol Biennial; 2018 John Fries Award; and in A Broken Link, Central St Martin’s, London, 2017.

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
