TEST PATTERN

Matthew Griffin Hungover (Still from VHS) 2000 95 minutes Courtesy the artist

4 May – 26 July 2013

Curated by Geoff Newton

Test Pattern brings together works by inter-generational artists across painting, video and installation to provide an overview of the influence of found abstraction in Australian contemporary art. Using the year 2000 as a site of redefinition for painting and performative practice, the exhibition contextualises current attitudes toward abstraction.
