Participating Artists: Bob Birch, Christopher Crouch, David McKenzie & Susan Norrie, and John Tarry.

Venue:
Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery,
The University of Western Australia 35 Stirling Hwy (cnr Fairway) Crawley, Perth Western Australia 6009.

Description: We live in a rapidly changing world. War and global warming mean that thousands of people worldwide are constantly crossing state boundaries or becoming stateless. Some have been stateless for generations. Australians are used to seeing the victims of the latest war or environmental tragedy on their television screens. The works in this show explore what happens beyond official accounts. The exhibition presents the work of five Australian artists whose oeuvre has taken them beyond our domestic boundaries and local concerns. These works constitute a 'reconnaissance', a survey of other places and events.

Dates: 11 March 2011 to 24 April 2011.
Opening Times: Tues - Fri, 11 - 5pm; Sun, 12 - 5pm.
