Vivienne Binns

14 February–30 March 2008

The first major survey of the work of Vivienne Binns, this exhibition celebrates over 40 years of art practice in Australia. Binns came to prominence in the late 1960s, producing paintings with a bold, psychedelic aesthetic. In the 1970s and 80s Binns’ practice was defined by her collaborative community projects. More recently she has explored the notion of the ‘unknown artist’. Many territories and genres intersect in the diverse range of works and show her commitment to the essential core of free expression and to generating creative forces in the community.
