press release

A large survey of current Australian art inspired by modernism, this Biennial registers a shift away from the melancholic collapse of certainty that underpinned post-modern art. Artists respond to the collaborative, experimental or utopian spirit of modern art movements, give a digital twist to modern forms, pay homage to modern artists and revive childhood encounters with modern design across its multidisciplinary forms.

Artists include Brook Andrew, James Angus, Frank Bauer, Janet Burchill & Jennifer McCamley, Domenico de Clario, Debra Dawes, A.D.S. Donaldson, Gareth Donnelly, Diena Georgetti , Shane Haseman, Rafaat Ishak, Narelle Jubelin, Anne-Marie May, John Meade, Arlo Mountford, Vanila Netto, John Nixon, Rose Nolan, Robert Owen, Andrew Petrusevics, Scott Redford, Jackie Redgate, Robert Rooney, David Rosetzky, Slave (Kain Picken, Rob McKenzie, Nick Selenitsch and Christopher L G Hill, with contributions from Lizzy Newman, Mikala Dwyer and Grant Stevens), Daniel von Sturmer and Anne Wallace.
