This exhibition takes a timely look at death through the eyes of Australian artists, mostly of the 20th century. Not wanting to simulate the cultural stereotyping of death embraced by the media and film industries, the exhibition avoids deliberate morbidity and sensationalism in favour of presenting a range of attitudes toward the subject of death by a chronologically and culturally diverse group of forty four artists working in a variety of media.
