Exhibition: 5 Mar – 18 Apr 2004
Looking beyond the stereotype of bungalow and bowling club, this exhibition focuses on photomedia that reflects the edgier realities of Australian suburbia today. It explores two emerging concerns for many young people - the affirmation of the self through challenge and the construction of identity through mass media. From extreme skating to body piercing, from teenage sexuality to hooning, the exhibition brings together photography, video, installation and performance work in a dramatic and at times provocative experience.
