Bill Henson: Early Works from the MGA Collection

30 July - 26 September 2010

This exhibition provided audiences with the opportunity to view some of the most powerful and beautiful photographs made by one of Australia's best-known contemporary photographers. It featured twenty-nine exquisitely printed examples from many of Henson's major series from the 1970s through to the early 1990s, all drawn from the Monash Gallery of Art (MGA) Collection.

This exhibition offered a rare opportunity for local audiences to experience the diversity and complex materiality of Henson's work first hand, unhindered by the distortions of reproduction, as passionate discussions about Henson's work and what it says about the nature of art are on-going.

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations as the traditional custodians of the land where we live, work & play. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. Burrinja extends that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today and acknowledges them as the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. It is through valuing their history, traditions, culture and beliefs that we strive to stimulate awareness and promote respect for Indigenous contemporary art and culture and create a positive future for Indigenous and non-indigenous communities together.

Sovereignty was never ceded.

Always was always will be Aboriginal land.
