Where does the time go … mark your diary for Tuesday 12th May 2026 5.45pm (6pm start) for another inspirational illustrated art talk. They’re all special & this will be no exception.

David Worthington (a British sculptor himself) will share his knowledge and perspective on all things Damien Hirst, a poster boy for the Young British Arts who rose to prominence in late 1980’s. Ultimately pushing the limits of fine art and good taste his art has been questioned by many as a practical joke, and not proper art at all.

This art talk aims to show that Damien Hirst is a deeply serious artist making works that are significant and influential.

The will be no shortage of conversation about this intriguing artist as we mingle afterwards in the foyer outside The Rory Spence Lecture Theatre, University of Tasmania, Inveresk Campus

Our first lecture is presented by Dr Albert Godetsky themed around Albrecht: Life, Ego and Afterlife.

In his day, Albrecht Durer was a larger than life figure. Through the high quality of his woodcutting, and the facility with which printed culture could be disseminated, Durer became an international success. Not a stranger to a mode of self-fashioning that would sit comfortably in today’s social media channels, Durer crafted a legacy for his art through his prints, paintings, and copious writing. Yet, the words he wrote - as much as the images he invented - reveal a man in profound search of his identity, especially at a time when social and religious values were in radical flux. This lecture traces the artist’s origins in his goldsmith father’s workshops in Nuremberg, his ambitious travels in Italy and subsequent patronage by the Habsburg’s.
