ABOUT
Sense of Place featured the work of eight Australian artists united by their exploration of the boundaries of national identity, cultural propriety and social paradigms, all through the medium of moving image. Organised by dLux MediaArts, Sense of Place included artists Kate Murphy, Justin Shoulder, Sarah Goffman, John A Douglas, Brendan Lee, Laith McGregor, Darren Sylvester and Liam Benson.
The exhibition examined what makes an Australian, what is an Australian identity and how does the physical landscape affect our social landscape and sense of place. What is a domestic landscape and how do Australian artists reflect their experiences and sensibilities through screen based mediums?
With the works shown sequentially, one at a time, as an annual screening series, the exhibition provided an accessible entry point for audiences new to video art while also offering a year long program of thought provoking content to viewers already familiar with the moving image.
