Exhibition | A decolonial geographic | Plimsoll Gallery, Hobart

by Katrina Grant • December 15, 2020 • 0 Comments

A decolonial geographic Curated by Fernando do Campo Artists: Richard Bell, Jon Cattapan, Juan Davila, Kerry Gregan, Raafat Ishak, Penny Mason, Alex Pittendrigh, Jessica Rankin, Judy Watson, Megan Walch and Ruth Waller. A decolonial geographic bring together 11 artists who engage with pictorial, material and philosophical questions that rethink misleading representations of the Australian landscape in A decolonial geographic. Ideas of the pastoral and natural Australian landscape are commonly depicted as postcard perfect – sublime and transcendent – and emptied of human beings. A decolonial geographic recalibrates this idealised and romantic view of what landscape signifies and how it should be portrayed. A decolonial geographic is a Devonport Regional Gallery exhibition toured by Contemporary Art Tasmania. Exhibition dates: 16 Dec 2020 - 28 Jan 2021 PLIMSOLL GALLERY School of Creative Arts, University of Tasmania Hunter Street, Hobart 7000. E Jane.Barlow@utas.edu.au…
