ACCA, Dallas Brooks Drive, The Domain
An exhibition of photographs by Australian artist, Anne Ferran. Ferran is quoted as saying:
“This work ought not need me as the artist to make pronouncements about its meaning. For one thing there is in it very little of a personal vision or private sensibility. In their size and scale, their period connotations, their employment of classical conventions, the photographs are… reminiscent of monumental sculpture which is, out of all art forms, the most public… It could be said of these photographs that the language they ‘speak’ is so much a part of our culture that the audience already knows how to interpret them, even if it doesn't ‘know’ that it knows.”
