Perceptions of Distance is no longer on tour

As part of 2008 Country Arts SA - Visual Arts Touring Program

Perceptions of Distance features the work of twelve regionally based South Australian artists, drawn from a statewide survey, whose work explores ideas of peripheries and place.

Each artist reflects on what distance means to them with artistic responses that range from the humorous, to the intellectual to the lyrical.

Perceptions of Distance

An initiative of the Regional Galleries Association of SA and curated by Lucia Pichler, Perceptions of Distance features the work of 12 regionally based SA artists whose work explores ideas of peripheries and place.

It has significant relevance to regional students exploring personal and community identity. Visual Arts students will be able to study the different ways in which individual artists see themselves in relation to their local community and place and the strategies and techniques they have developed to communicate this with others through their art. Environmental issues and the importance of place, time and isolation make this an ideal starting point for exploring through written expression, personal senses of identity and connection with place.
