1990 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art
The country’s longest-standing survey of contemporary Australian art.
The 1990 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art is the inaugural exhibition presented by the Art Gallery of South Australia, a survey of the latest trends in Australian artistic practice.
Curator Mary Eagle states: “Over the past twenty years the avant-garde has broken down. We are between times. Behind is the ‘modern’ period (which encompassed the Impressionists at one end and recent American art at the other). Ahead is whatever comes next.”
Featuring the work of thirty-eight artists from around Australia, with each State and Territory represented, the exhibition demonstrates the breadth and depth of contemporary Australian art, and illuminates the current and future concerns of artists practicing today.
