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.
