'Travellers'
Jul 2017 -
Oct 2017
The metaphysical aspects of travel are explored in works by Jeffrey Smart, Jan Senbergs, Hiroaki Takahashi, Craig Koomeeta and others. The idea of the journey raises questions about freedom and physical limitation, the fluidity of identity, the passage of time, and the experience of passing through different spaces and ways of living.
‘Travellers’ was held in QAG’s Gallery 14 from 1 July to 29 October 2017.
