Looking But Not Seeing

Artists: Darren Sylvester , Eliza Hutchison , Grace Wood , Jacqui Ball , Kiron Robinson , Marian Tubbs , Nikos Pantazopoulos , Nina Gilbert , Vivian cooper smith , Will Nolan and Xanthe Waite

Curated by Kiron Robinson.

Looking But Not Seeing brings together the work of eleven leading artists, at various stages of their careers from early career to established practitioners.

“What is a photograph?” and “What can a photograph be?” are the key questions driving contemporary artists who use photography. While employing diverse artistic approaches each of these artists asks how the world can be imaged if it is already a photograph? 

Looking But Not Seeing was the recipient of the 2016 Exhibition Development Fund and is presented in partnership with Benalla Art Gallery.
