SEVEN + SEVEN: PRINTMAKING ACROSS UNKNOWN TERRAIN

9 June - 3 September 2023

Perc Tucker Regional Gallery

Combining the work of Canadian and Australian printmakers, Seven + Seven: printmaking across unknown terrain explores the visual dialogue and ideas that manifest in contemporary printmaking. Curator Derek Besant (Canada) and Co-curator Jo Lankester (Australia) exchanged views and notions about the vast and harsh environments on different continents situated in different hemispheres that have similarities with the country’s vastness and the treatment of First Nations peoples by British colonialism. They also discussed the difference between extreme weather in the locations where they choose to live and how this influences their art practice.

Artists include: G.W. Bot, Janet Parker Smith, Judy Watson, Wendy Murray, Timika Grant-Iramu, Rebecca Beardmore, Barbie Kjar, John Dean, Liz Ingram + Bernd Hildebrandt, Jewel Shaw, Walter Jule, Alexandra Haeseker, Sean Caulfield, Derek Besant.
