Returning to the Field

SNO Contemporary Art Projects
Leichhardt Sydney

Curated by Ruark Lewis and Andrew Leslie over three separate exhibitions, 2014-18.

Incorporating artists from the inaugural landmark 'The Field' exhibition 1968 for the opening of the new National Gallery of Victoria with contemporary practicing artists. In 'Return to the Field' 2014, the selected contemporary artists were mostly women to address the gender imbalance not considered in the 1968 exhibition. The exhibited work by the participating 'Field' artists is from a period of each artist's oeuvre. The subsequent 'Return to the Field' #2 and #3 became more experimental, playing with media and narratives.
