Currents III
vol 28 no 3, 2008
Where is some of the best art being made in Australia and who is making it? Our biennial CURRENTS series of in-depth essays is a mini-survey of work by eight mid-career artists who have hit their stride. Craig Walsh, Raquel Ormella, Helen Fuller, Mary Scott, George Gittoes, Farrell & Parkin, Lynette Wallworth and Deborah Kelly work in a wide range of media and out of a range of geographies. Other features are Tim Acker's insights into current challenges faced by Indigenous artists with forgeries and ripoffs still happening, and a look at the Graffiti Research Lab who visited Adelaide recently. Plus book and exhibition reviews and more. Editor Stephanie Britton.

Wallworth's international profile is rising. She has exhibitions planned for France (Aix en Provence Festival), the Melbourne Festival in 2008 and the Adelaide Film Festival 2009 and with each new project she is striking an emotional chord in her audiences that resonates long after the physical engagement with the work is over.
