The Australian Centre for Photography (ACP) presents Under the Sun: Reimagining Max Dupain’s Sunbaker, a large scale exhibition of new works commissioned from 15 artists responding to Australian photographer Max Dupain’s iconic Sunbaker image.
Presented from 18 February until 17 April at the State Library of NSW, Under The Sun explores views of our culture, our identity and our nationhood through works that surprise, challenge and enthuse audiences. The artists reflect Australia’s multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-faith nature, enabling a creative and often very personal exploration of the question ‘is there something new under the sun?’ These artists contemplate, and interpret Max Dupain’s photograph – a symbol of a particular time and vision of Australian culture – while offering unique perspectives on what it could possibly signify in our current society.
