Gordon Bennett: Be Polite, Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts

 

The large-scale exhibtion 'Be Polite' profiling the late Gordon Bennett's works on paper has now opened at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts and runs until 30 October 2016. Be Polite is an exhibition of largely unseen works on paper by one of Australia’s most visionary and critical artists, Gordon Bennett (1955-2014). On tour from the Institute of Modern Art in Brisbane, this curated selection of Bennett’s works on paper comprises drawing, painting, watercolour, poetry, and essays from the early 1990s through to the early 2000s, a period that produced work of remarkable force and revealed the artist’s working methods, research focuses, and ultimately his ambitions for his work.
