Queensland Live: Contemporary Art on Tour
A new exhibition has just gone on display at the Bundaberg Arts Centre.
The exhibition, on in Bundaberg from now to 3 September, will travel to five other regional venues in 2006 and 2007 before returning for display at the Gallery of Modern Art.
Queensland Art Gallery Director Doug Hall said the exhibition featured artists Vernon Ah Kee, Richard Bell, Gordon Bennett, Eugene Carchesio, Gwyn Hanssen Pigott, Tracey Moffatt, Scott Redford, Luke Roberts, Anne Wallace, Judy Watson and Judith Wright.
Mr Hall said key works by each artist provided insight into current art practice in Queensland, and reflected aspects of contemporary life and experience.
“The exhibition provides a snapshot of the excellence, diversity and achievement in the visual arts in Queensland today,” he said.
The works encompass a range of materials and methods from painting, printmaking, photography and ceramics to installation, film and the latest digital technologies.
The artists range in age from their 30s to their 70s, come from vastly different backgrounds, and have studied and exhibited nationally and internationally.
