As part of the statewide festival Art + Climate = Change 2015 Latrobe Regional Gallery has a new exhibition on now until the 24th May 2015.

About the Exhibition

The Politics of Perception presents works by artists Symons and Targett that map critical issues surrounding our environment; poetically and potently charting landmarks of anthropocentric disaster that cannot be found on any atlas or world map. This body of work raises critical issues surrounding the subtleties and complexities associated with humanity and its relationship to environmental change.

Latrobe is Victoria’s largest electricity supplier and is home to a substantial forestry industry. The juxtaposition of exhibiting works that communicate deforestation, ozone hole depletion and species loss in this region is a conscious move on the part of the artists. They endeavour to raise awareness, create discourse and reflect on industry impacts. This exhibition is supported as part of ClimArte’s state-wide artist festival Art+Climate=Change 2015.
