Good and Bad Government

7 Apr-22 Apr 2018

Overview

Artists FRANK CREBER, TIMOTHY HYMAN RA, MICHAEL JOHNSON, ANDREA MCLEAN, and VICTORIA RANCE have spent many happy hours working alongside their communities at the bottom of the telescope looking upwards at the machinery of government. Their diverse works tell a story about how the messy detail of a citizens lives are inextricably linked to the broader narrative of history, politics and belief systems. The show features images of the built environment and our complex engagement with nature. The artists, who will make new work for this exhibition, share an affinity with each other’s work and have a connection based on a deep commitment to observe and narrate personal chronicles about the social and physical landscape of their neighbourhoods.
