"Australian Perspecta 1999: Living Here Now"
1999-08-20 until 1999-10-18
Museum of Contemporary Art
Sydney, , AU Australia

This exhibition looks through art at living in Australia now; at how artists approach issues affecting our sense of identity and place. These include issues of reconciliation, cultural diversity and post-colonialism, or debates around the relationship between economics and ethics, nationalism and globalisation. Six artists will be selected, whose works collectively get underneath the skin about what it is to live in Australia now.

Some works look at the present through the prism of history, re-using past images to articulate something about current ideas and debates. Other works plunder the media-saturated present for signs of identification.

New works by selected artists may be accompanied by a small selection of works from the MCA Collection that look at indigenous and non-indigenous relationships with the land that confront the dispossession, alienation and racism underpinning our culture.
