This exhibition brings together a wide-range of works that suggest new interpretative possibilities through previously unconsidered juxtapositions of Australian and International contemporary art. Incorporating both recently acquired art from the new century and works from as far back as the 1970s, the exhibition underscores how gallery collections are fluid entities that generate new meaning over time.
