Celebrate the launch of the first glossy annual magazine from Memo Review, a leading art criticism platform based in Naarm/Melbourne and Warrang/Sydney.
Memo No.1 features an extended artist focus on Archie Moore ahead of his presentation at the Venice Biennale, with essays by Rex Butler, Tristen Harwood, Tara Heffernan, and Hilary Thurlow.
It also includes reviews and essays from around Australia and the world: Audrey Schmidt unveils a history of tall-poppy takedowns in the Melbourne art world, Cameron Hurst checks in with once-celebrated Spike Magazine cultural critic Dean Kissick, Helen Hughes writes on Helen Johnson's The Birth of an Institution (2022), and more.
Hear Memo Review contributing editors Paris Lettau and Verónica Tello in conversation with Nick Croggon, and take home a copy of this cutting-edge publication.
