JANET BURCHILL AND JENNIFER MCCAMLEY IN MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL ARTS FESTIVAL
17 Sep 2011
Works by Janet Burchill and Jennifer McCamley will be included in A Different Temporality, at Monash University Museum of Art, Caufield, for the 2011 Melbourne International Arts Festival.
A Different Temporality considers time as subject and metaphor in Australian feminist art practice from 1975 through to 1985.
A period when women artists were agitating for recognition in the broader Australian art community, this was a remarkable time of change both for women and for Australia as a whole. Politically diverse, A Different Temporality unearths the flash points of a powerfully influential period.
Encompassing time-based media such as performance, photography and film, this exhibition is a provocative series of intrusions from a time of uncommon artistic fecundity.
Curated by Dr Kyla McFarlane, the exhibition also includes works by Micky Allan, Bonita Ely, Sue Ford, Helen Grace, Lyndal Jones and Jenny Watson.
