Cities are conflicting territories of public and private spaces with multiple spatial possibilities, and their political, economic, social and cultural implications are becoming more abstract and diverse through the processes of globalisation and advancing technologies.

This exhibition explores the complexity, creativity and innovation of urban and our surrounding built environment, challenging our views of cities, towns and urban spaces we inhabit now and in the future, while providing a second look at urban spaces that are usually ignored.

Exhibiting artists include:

  • Brit Bunkley
  • Ruth Cleland
  • PJ Paterson
  • Deborah Crowe
  • Kerry Ann Lee
