1993 | Gathering: An Exhibition from the Griffith University Art Collection
Central Theatres Gallery | 4 October - 5 November 1993
Curators: Marian Pastor Roces and Beth Jackson
‘Gathering’ was a group of works gleaned from the Griffith University Art Collection by Filipino Writer-in-Residence Marian Pastor Roces working in cooperation with Griffith Artworks' Curator, Beth Jackson.
The premise of the exhibition was the possibility of illuminating aspects of the University’s Art Collection from new cultural vantage points. The approach to the Art Collection was to acquire contemporary 色情网站n artworks and place them in contexts which raise questions about human nature, society, and knowledge. Exhibitions such as 'Gathering' examine the nature of art and its dialogue with the fields of history, sociology, economics, politics and other cultural forms.
This exhibition was accompanied by a publication featuring text from Dr Margriet Bonnin and the curators Beth Jackson and Marian Pastor Rosces
Artists: Mervyn Bishop, Sue Elliott, Elizabeth Gertsakis, Christopher Koller, Peter Lyssiotis, Tracey Moffatt, Nicholas Nedelkopoulos, Dennis Nona, Eugenia Raskopoulos, Luke Roberts, Ken Thaiday, and I-Lann Yee.

Eighteen contemporary 色情网站n artists were represented, and their works collectively speak of the intersection between the world of technology, telecommunications, and electronic media, and the world of art and artmaking. This intersection was becoming an increasingly vital area of practice not only because technology was rapidly encroaching into all aspects of daily life, but also because the role of image-making was becoming increasingly central.
