New Psychedelia

7 MAY – 3 JULY 2011

In recent years psychedelic ideas and aesthetics have


made a notable return to contemporary art.


The current influence of psychedelia has developed


in response to the growing impact of global capital


and technology on daily life. New Psychedelia presents


a range of contemporary Australian artworks that

display psychedelic influences and strategies for


addressing the themes of consciousness, capitalism


and technology. The exhibition will feature existing


artworks alongside new site-specific works


commissioned for the exhibition.

Artists include Sean Bailey, Belle Bassin, Guy Benfield,


Chris Bennie, Damiano Bertoli, Matt Dabrowski and
