The James C. Sourris AM collection of artist interviews
The James C. Sourris AM collection of artist interviews consists of interviews with significant Australian artists and figures in the art world. It is a growing collection that provides insight and context to the practice of some of our most respected artists.
Each artist is profiled via three distinct recordings: a full-length interview between the interviewer and the artists, a 30 minute version, optimised for education purposes and a shorter version, generally 5 to 9 minutes in length that gives a quick taste of that person’s artistic practice.
All of the recordings are transcribed and available for viewing online – via State Library’s catalogue, OneSearch, YouTube or Vimeo. They can be used for research today but also by future generations to reveal insights about the artists and their practice, and to explore the artists' work in the context of their life story.
These engaging stories present a unique opportunity to learn a little more about a number of important artists.
The James C. Sourris AM collection of artist interviews is part of the Australian Library of Art at State Library of Queensland.
