Description

This course introduces issues in Australian art by a detailed examination of those art exhibitions that have attempted to define either Australian art or crucial moments in Australian art. The course examines both the curatorial rationales behind the exhibitions and the art that was perceived by different generations as significant. Major exhibitions, both here and overseas, will be considered in the context of a broad cultural history.
