Agatha Gothe-Snape’s work engages with the politics and poetics of language and other embodied knowledge as it is performed interpersonally and is creative of our relationships with each other, with art and architecture and other histories. Rooted in performance, her work operates intuitively and is generated via improvisation and collaboration. In its visual economy and aesthetic weightlessness indebted to minimalism, Gothe-Snape’s often text-based work finds short cuts through complexity and ambiguity to arrive at fertile slippages that wed emotional impact with conceptual rigour. The work inhabits spaces that are both physical and non-physical. It occupies thresholds that are negotiable.

Gothe-Snape has presented solo exhibitions at the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth (2024), Monash University Museum of Art, Melbourne, (2020), Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, Perth (2019), the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane (2019) and Mori Art Museum, Tokyo (2017). She has exhibited in several major international biennials and group exhibitions. Public art is an ongoing focus of her practice.
