About

What do you see? follows John Berger's assertion that "The way we see things is affected by what we know or what we believe" (Berger, 1972). The reception of Indigenous contemporary art has historically been mediated by assumptions that work in this category is isolated from global influence, stylistically homogeneous, and 'traditional' as opposed to contemporary. This exhibition seeks to counter these beliefs by presenting a suite of works which embody some of the complex networks of influence, diverse and specific cultural contexts, and permutations of sacred culture that exist in the Indigenous contemporary art field. As JGM Gallery Director, Jennifer Guerrini Maraldi, says, "The works exhibited in What do you see? demonstrate the plurality of styles and aesthetics of Indigenous contemporary art, and invite us to question both how and why these manifest in different geographic regions of the Australian continent."
