A Conspicous Object: The Maitland Hospital
Linda Greedy, Instruments, 2021, oil on timber panel, 30 x 30 cm.
Built on Wonnarua land in the 1840s, The Maitland Hospital is a layered place – a patchwork of buildings and corridors imbued with the fears and hopes of a community over 170 years. A Conspicuous Object – The Maitland Hospital taps into these layers, with nine artists invited to respond to stories that capture a diversity of experiences, people and places from the hospital’s history. The exhibition highlights the ways art, history and health can intertwine to tell stories, invite reflection, and engage community memories. Presented by MRAG in partnership with Hunter New England Local Health District (HNELHD) and Health Infrastructure (HI).
