The Shifting Locus of Artistic Practice

The Tasmanian School of Art has been awarded an ARC Linkage grant to undertake a project in partnership with the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery. The project will provide a critical analysis of the monographic solo survey exhibition and its significance as a mode of representation of the career development of Australian artists since the late 1960s. A suite of six thematically linked exhibitions of mid- to late- career artists will be the outcome of the research. The curatorial aim is to account for the oeuvre of the selected artists within the context of institutional developments in Australian art and culture in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century.
