Karl Fritsch & Francis Upritchard in ‘The Abyss: Strategies in contemporary art’ at Griffith University Art Museum
09.07.2019
25 July – 28 September
With the capacity to elicit simultaneous and complex experiences, artworks in this exhibition employ push-pull tensions of seduction and repulsion – towards the abject and informé, to the ornamental, erotic and transgressive, and those that consider historical grotesques to explore contemporary issues of race and identity.
