Manningham residents are invited to submit a self-portrait for a new art project by artist Gosia Wlodarczak.

Submit from 3 November to 1 December via post boxes at MC Square and Manningham libraries. Gosia will use the portraits to create a large drawing installation called A Space of Facial Deconstruction.

Visit the Manningham Art Gallery over five days (between 11.00am to 5.00pm from 29 November to 3 December) to watch Gosia create the art in real time. Each day she will select portraits and create impressions of them onto the walls of the Gallery. This will result in a stunning portrait of the Manningham community.

The installation will be on display at the Gallery until 17 December.

About the artist

Born in Poland, and living in Melbourne, Gosia Wlodarczak interprets her immediate surroundings through the language of drawing.

Her works form rich linear tapestries that archive the artist’s fleeting perceptions. Tracing and re-tracing, she historicises the immediate moment through a pentimenti of mark-marking.

Her work is represented in collections including:
