Oooh yeah baby, it's Art!: Let's Make the Water Turn Black

This exhibition invites eight Tasmanian artists to look back to their childhoods, and tease out the links between their first engagements with art making and their current practice. It is the premise of this exploration that a substantial part of what motivates and informs adult art making can be traced back to pre-adolescent interests and activities- both formally and conceptually. The participating artists were selected to provide an overview of the changing cultural landscape of Australia from the post-war period through to the world of Generation Y.
