In Suburbia: Recent Detours
In Suburbia: Recent Detours, is an exhibition project that features the work of 19 contemporary artists from across the country who probe, celebrate and question the notion of the great Australian dream.
As we look down the nation鈥檚 street of dreams so much has altered. A modest home in a secure community is now financially out of reach to the majority of young people. What was once considered a beacon of security is now evolving into a site of constant anxiety that too often erupts into tragic scenes of domestic violence. Nevertheless, suburbia, in all its disparate manifestations remains the living paradigm for the great majority of Australians.
The exhibition looks across a diverse spectrum of housing types and conditions in suburban environments from Perth, Melbourne, the Wollongong region, Sydney, Penrith, Lismore, the Northern Rivers and Brisbane. The scope and quality of the works is drawn from a select group of artists focuses on the physical and psychological spaces that characterise the suburban experience.
In Suburbia: Recent Detours, is a timely project as the nation comes to terms with an ever-growing housing crisis.
