FIRST AUSTRALIAN SHOWING – AN AGWA EXCLUSIVE
In another Australian first, The Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) presents Moving Landscape, an exhibition by internationally acclaimed US artist Sam Contis.
This stunning exhibition brings together three main bodies of work – Deep Springs, Overpass, and Cross Country – giving us a view of the artist’s practice over twelve years and 85 works.
Sam Contis is one of the most dynamic US photographers working in our contemporary moment, whose work explores the construction of place and self. Shifting between black & white and colour, and large- and intimately-scaled views, she builds a new terrain out of multiple fragments and perspectives, showing us different ways of seeing and experiencing the body and its environment.
