May - June, 2014, Adelaide Town Hall
Featuring Ali Gumillya Baker, Troy-Anthony Baylis, Gus Clutterbuck, Tristan Kerr, Jacob Logos & Laura Wills. 'Historia’ is the discipline of recording and interpreting past events. By re-writing, re-referencing and re-activating past events, Historia responds to historic collections as well as some often untold stories, exploring aspects of our history and culture that may have been forgotten through their lack of representation in ‘authorised’ archives. The featured artists re-address our history in painting, sculpture, works on paper, photography, sign painting and performance. The works engage a range of themes including custodianship, social history, language and material culture. |
