Country & Western: Landscape Re-imagined "Project Overview and Collateral'
A national touring exhibition which brings into focus the contrasting insights and cultural imperatives, both indigenous (country) and non-indigenous (western), that have given shape and substance to our evolving attitudes and perceptions of the national landscape over the past 25 years. In the post bi-centennial Australian landscape, artists have referenced the past, the future and the ever present, to identify and give a sense of place to the space they occupy. The experience can be grounded in the physical reality of a site, along with its deep, often-elusive spiritual associations. Yet, the idea of the bush as hostile and bewildering lingers on. Traversing the Australian landscape through a dynamic display of works the exhibition reveals the on-going impact landscape exerts on the nation’s psyche. The enclosed documentation provides an insight into the exhibition, including complete copies of the exhibition publication, education resources and exhibition collateral.
