- Description
-
This group exhibition Picturing the Sea considers contrasting ways that artists approach human interaction with the sea.
It brings together seascapes and early maps, Indigenous art, works that address social and political concerns, as well as the lyrical and unexpected.
In legend, early maps and art, the sea is often unpredictable, its depths and edges mysterious and unfathomable. Today the seas are well-charted political entities, shipping lanes, sites of industry, and sometimes contested zones.
The artists in the exhibition are: Narelle Autio, Audrey Greenhalgh, Jeremy Kirwan-Ward, Sine MacPherson, Max Pam,
Polixeni Papapetrou, Patricia Piccinini, Ben Pushman, Paul Uhlmann, and Fred Williams.
