DANIEL CROOKS - FIGURING LANDSCAPES
25 Nov 2008
Figuring Landscapes is a remarkable collection of moving image works that has grown from the background of the political and cultural history that links the UK and Australia.
Presented internationally as a series of screening programmes, the works in Figuring Landscapes address questions of ecological survival, post-industrialism, gender, the touristic gaze, and uniquely in Australia the social, political and cultural status of Indigenous people in a post-colonial society.
Figuring Landscapes premieres at ArtSway in the New Forest and will travel to Tate Modern, London; Showroom, Sheffield; Chapter Arts, Cardiff; Brighton Cinemateque; Bureau, Salford; Dundee Contemporary Arts; Vivid, Birmingham; Hull Short Film Festival and FACT Liverpool. The collection will then embark on an Australian tour beginning at the Gallery of Modern Art, and the DELL gallery in Brisbane.
