Portrait Exchange

11 September 2010 - 16 October 2010

Venue: Arts Project Australia Gallery
Opening: 11 September 2010, 3pm-5pm

Every portrait tells a story of a relationship and it is these stories that are the focus of Portrait Exchange.  This exhibition is the result of a project which has fostered existing relationships and initiated new ones. It translates shared experiences and visual dialogues between not only sitter and portrait painter, but also between studio artist and non Arts Project Australia artist. This visual exchange between artists builds on the popular genre of portraiture, whilst connecting to a broader dialogue of artists who have used portraiture throughout history.
