Event description
The rapid advancement of technology in recent times has ignited a wave of interest for objects and memories from our past. ‘RETROSPECT’ is a tripartite group exhibition that will tour around Melbourne this year. It explores feelings of nostalgia for traditional technique in relation to the fascination with the digital. Artists will demonstrate the impact of technology and the resilience of creativity through their subject matter or creative process.
