Every Brilliant Eye

Australian Art of the 1990s

Free entry

The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, Fed Square

Level 3

2 Jun 17 – 1 Oct 17

Every Brilliant Eye: Australian Art of the 1990s explores a decade in Australian art. Drawn from the NGV Collection, it provides an in depth look at a period characterised by dramatic change as artists adopted new technologies and increasingly heterogeneous approaches to making art.

The exhibition offers an overview of art made from 1990 to 2000 and includes works in various media from video, installation, photography, painting, sculpture, drawing, fashion and design, as well as selected ephemera relating to various artist collectives, artist run spaces and various subcultures that emerged during this dynamic period in recent art history.
