HOLIDAY AND MEMORY

HOLIDAY + MEMORY  

20th Century Australia at Play
16 November 2013 - 23 February 2014

If anyone is around Penrith why not pop into the gallery for a great show about holiday and memory. The images above where taken on a summer road trip on the Queensland Coast. Aaahh the memories.

‘This exhibition investigates the annual holiday experience of mid-twentieth century Australia. Dark nights, caravans, winding roads and oversized pineapples loom large upon the horizon, summoning memories of romantic sunsets and eerie shadows. Memories of fun in the sun, surf and bush retreats are accompanied by recollections of vinyl car seats, cries of 'are we there yet' dripping ice creams, flies and Aerogard; all typifying that beloved long, hot Australian summer. On show in the main Gallery are the works of twenty-nine visual artists, across various mediums including photography, painting, moving image and installation.  If you would like more information, then that is right here.
