Out of Place
Reflecting on our increasingly precarious notions of place and belonging, this exhibition examines ways in which contemporary artworks embody, transpose and reconfigure a sense of locality in a globalised world.
Through dislocated fragments and figures, re-materialised objects and textures, stains and other obscure impressions, artists in this exhibition – Hany Armanious, Bonita Bub, Janet Burchill and Jennifer McCamley, Fiona Connor, Thomas Demand, Dale Harding, Igor and Svetlana Kopystiansky, Jasper Jordan-Lang, and Anna Kristensen – map specific relationships of adjacency and imbalance, tracking the uneven conditions that assemble and define distances, to highlight the powerful dissonance between site and identity, place and authority.
