In Suburbia: Recent Detours is an exhibition that features the work of 18 contemporary artists from across the country who probe, celebrate and question the notion of the great Australian dream.
As we look down the nation’s 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.
In Suburbia: Recent Detours is a timely project as the nation comes to terms with an ever-growing housing crisis.
Featuring works by Adrian Doyle, Anne Wallace, Alan Jones, Catherine O’Donnell, Christopher McVinish, Christopher Zanko, Craig Handley, David Wadelton, Eliza Gosse, Ian Strange, Joanna Lamb, Nick Santoro, Noel McKenna, Peter O’Doherty, Rachel Ellis, Raimond de Weerdt, Robyn Sweaney, Wade Taylor.
