what are you looking at?
Volume 3 is on now at Eastside Gallery until 20 May 2023.
Artists were challenged to submit works that provoke contemplative questioning around the concept of looking. 12 local artists present works that ask us to consider how we see, what we see when we can’t see or when seeing is dangerous. Can we trust what we see? There are works that attempt to trick us and ones that constantly change, works that expose surveillance cracks and others that challenge tired beauty images.
Artists include Carmela Makalio, Rewa Walia, Agrit, Linda James, Duncan Nash, Irenie How, Anna.Key, Liana Ashenden, Annika Maenpaa, Donald Gibson, Sally Thompson and Sarah Brown.
