Career
[edit]Nolan was a member of the group of artists who formed ‘Store 5’, a loose experimental collective and artist run space based in Melbourne between 1989 and 1993.[5]She was one of a group of Australian artists who were part a loose cooperative and space connected to the experimental Store 5 Melbourne ARI between 1989 and 1993.[3]The Store 5 artists shared an interest in the traditions of non-objective art, a form of art that relinquishes describing the exterior world in favour of examining the artwork in its material form.[4]Frequent tropes include language, concentrating on the linguistic qualities of words and their connection to architectural space as a material form.[3]Additionally conceptual art, as well the aesthetics ofRussian constructivismwhich adopts the language of abstraction and revolutionary aesthetics and its relationship to a pragmatic utilitarian approach to art, architecture and design with utopian, even revolutionary, social ideals continue to inform Nolan's work today.[3][4]Since the 1980s Nolan has exhibited widely, both nationally and internationally.[2]Nolan is represented by Anna Schwartz Gallery.[3]
