Indivisible

Central to the exhibition is an exploration of Parliamentary language since Federation and how it was used to describe (or prescribe) the qualities of the Australian people.

Indivisible is a body of work by artist Denis Beaubois that explores the idea of the Nation. Central to the exhibition is an examination of Parliamentary language since Federation and how it has been used to describe (or prescribe) the qualities of Australian people over time. 

The works incorporate data mining, video installation, sound, sculpture and Schlieren imaging to reflect and respond to the language that supports and upholds nationhood. Indivisible asks us to consider selective history, mythology and how assumptions of national character have changed over time.
