WHEN : Until 26th August

Return to Sender is an exhibition of works by artists who left Queensland in the late 1970s and early 1980s, largely in reaction to the political and cultural milieu of the Joh Bjelke-Petersen era. While the exhibition is inspired by this exodus, it also invites a focus on ideas that were then circulating in Australian art, especially in Sydney where many of the artists were based.
Artists : BARBARA CAMPBELL,JEFF GIBSON, JOHN GILLIES (with THE SYDNEY FRONT), ROSS HARLEY, ROSEMARY LAING, LINDY LEE, FIONA MACDONALD, TRACEY MOFFATT, ROBYN STACEY, MARK TITMARSH, GARY WARNER.
Curator: Michele Helmrich
