Abstract

Open Air is an exhibition of portraits of Australians in environments of particular significance to them. The exhibition extends the notion of portraiture beyond the simple definition of 'pictures with faces' to embrace deeply-rooted visual expressions of identity in which various artists have engaged with different kinds of ancestral history. Inclusive, lyrical and strongly Australian in character. [Gallery media, 2008].
