Undercurrent and New Works

Gallery 1.
Undercurrent: A group photo-media exhibition of new works by nine emerging practitioners currently based in, or originating from South Australia. The exhibition will showcase the shifting framework of contemporary Australian photo-media, highlighting the diverse practice of participating artists, from traditional photographic practices through to photographic and video installation. Less an exhibition that presents a hematic rationale, each artists’ work demonstrates rigour in their individual investigation into photo-media methodology, meaning or photographic mediums.
