Forbidden: Fiona Foley
MCA - Museum of Contemporary Art
Thursday 12 November 2009 to Sunday 31 January 2010
Fiona Foley is one of Australia’s most significant artists, as well as an influential curator, writer and academic. A Badtjala woman from Fraser Island in Queensland, she is known for an incredibly diverse artistic practice spanning two decades and encompassing painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, mixed media work, found objects and installation.
With a history of exhibitions featuring uncompromising titles such as No shades of white and Lick my black art, Foley traces the ongoing significance of Australia’s colonial histories. Individual works explore a broad range of themes that relate to politics, culture, ownership, language and identity.
The MCA is partnering with The University of Queensland Art Museum, Brisbane in presenting this exhibition, which will be accompanied by a publication. Following its MCA showing, Forbidden: Fiona Foley will be presented at The University of Queensland Art Museum from 2 April to 23 May 2010.
