2000 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Beyond the Pale: contemporary Indigenous art
The country’s longest-standing survey of contemporary Australian art.
The 2000 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art presents a significant survey of contemporary Australian Indigenous art.
The works of Beyond the Pale: Contemporary Indigenous Art offer spirit, strength, a collective message of ongoing resistance, survival, assertion, reclamation and regeneration through a visual language. Through their work, the twenty-six selected artists challenge expected perceptions of contemporary Indigenous visual art practice; and in turn, challenge the perceptions and misconceptions relation to Indigenous people in present day Australia, at all levels of life.
