Spectacles. Something for the Ear by Johannes Kuhnen

Artist list

Johannes Kuhnen

Johannes Kuhnen is one of Australia's most well recognised silversmiths and has had a close relationship with the Australian National University School of Art for more than twenty years. Johannes' practice has remained at the forefront of innovation, in particular his pioneering use of anodised aluminum. A fascination with the colour options of the aluminium, as well as titanium, continue to provide inspiration for his work and has also inspired many others to explore such potential. Johannes’s current practice continues to capture his mastery and sense of understanding of what you can do with hard materials such as titanium, which currently takes a leading role in his objects and wearable art. The collection Spectacles will be available for viewing from the 19th August until the 16 September.
 
Johannes has exhibited widely throughout Australia and overseas in both group and solo exhibitions. His work is held in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth, Museum fur Kunst und Gewerbe, Hamburg, Museum Boymans-van-Beunigen, Rotterdam, Staatliche Museen Preussischer Kulturbesitz, Kunstgewerbemuseum, Berlin, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh and Die Neue Sammlung in Munich.
