Other Stories: Five Australian Artists
Presented for Asialink ‘s program: 1997 Year of South Asia
CURATOR: Alison Carroll
ARTISTS: Rosalie Gascoigne, Fiona Hall, Mike Parr, Rosslynd Piggott, Hossein Valamanesh
Other Stories presented the work of five major Australian artists who tell stories. The focus was planned as a response to the interest in narrative in South Asia, with the reflection of, in this case, Australia being ‘the other’. With this in mind, Les Murray’s long poem The Idyll Wheel: Cycle of a Year at Bunyah, New South Wales was included in the catalogue and had an excellent response from the audience in its own right.
This exhibition toured to Colombo, Dhaka, Hanoi, Islamabad, Karachi, Kathmandu, Lahore (1997 - 1998).
