enigmas of the outback (expired event)

This exhibition presents different responses to and perceptions of the Australian outback as an enigmatic, mysterious, spirited and haunted terrain.

It explores the dark undercurrents that inform mythologies of the Australian landscape across contemporary indigenous and non-indigenous art works. The selection of photographic, paint and sculptural works reflect upon how the outback triggers the imagination in unsettling ways. It is at once darkly evocative, psychologically compelling and peppered with spiritual and mythological stories of the land.
