'Convictions' surveys nearly twenty years of artmaking at Sydney’s Long Bay Correctional Complex. Many of the exhibits have been produced by inmates in the Art Unit, a full-time vocational art program in a maximum-security area within the Metropolitan Special Programs Centre (MSPC).
Other works are from art educational classes operating in the various other centres, including the Long Bay Hospital. Nearly all the exhibits at one point or another have been displayed at Long Bay’s Boom Gate Gallery. This survey is just a selection of a broader and ongoing phenomenon. It reveals some of the innovations and artistic tendencies that make Long Bay one of Sydney’s most unusual arenas of studio practice.
