back issue

  In this issue Art & Australia turns its gaze towards Australian artists who live and work beyond our borders, and those who exhibit overseas.
 
  Like the airborne, turbulence-tossed women in her photographs, Rosemary Laing is flying fast. George Tjungurrayi journeys on foot out of the Gibson Desert; his conceptual abstractions chronicle Tingari stories of continuous travel from place to place. In Madrid, Narelle Jubelin maps a geography of displacement. What, if anything, holds these artists together within the nebulous concept of 'Australian-ness'?
- Katrina Schwarz, Editor.
 
Rosemary Laing's practice is gracefully charted by Rex Butler, Daniel Baumann discusses the work of Shaun Gladwell; Ann Stephen negotiates the complex references and associations to place, space and the senses in the work of Narelle Jubelin; Ingrid Periz explores a fascinating collection of Australian artists living in the United States of America; Judith Ryan writes on George Tjungurrayi's life and work; and Rachel Spence engages us vivid descriptions of artists and collectors in Venice.
 
In addition to our regular columns, reviews and book reviews, the representatives at the Australian Pavilion in the 2007 Venice Biennale - Daniel von Sturmer, Susan Norrie and Callum Morton - speak about their current work at the Biennale; and Lily Brett writes on the work of her husband, artist David Rankin.
