Description

For the exhibition, Obsolete? Artist, Object, Small Museum, artists Nicole Barakat, Aleshia Lonsdale and Fiona MacDonald apply their creative and investigatory flair to considering a community museum in Kandos about 4 hours west from Sydney. The title asks a central question: how can ordinary lives, then and now, and randomly collected provincial objects, illuminate Big Picture issues?
