About the exhibition
Broadcast is the first in a series of exhibitions that will be ongoing, fluid explorations of Feminism’s relevance to contemporary art. This exhibition will survey and question the role of Feminism through the work of eight emerging female Brisbane artists who engage with video practice. Occupying a somewhat murky position in current critically engaged practice, the issue of Feminism is both celebrated and undermined in an ongoing conversation that punctuates contemporary art. As an expressive and open medium, video exploits these intense exchanges between the screen and female practice.
