EXHIBITIONS / WORKS FROM THE GLASS ASYLUM

16.11.2006 to 02.12.2006

Kibel has created a new iconography and language that is uniquely and contemporarily Australian. At the works' very core smoulders a relationship with the land and its acknowledgement of the history of its art making and sociological traditions that we all now revere to define our culture and indeed us all.
From the neon lit urban landscapes that precariously clasp the shoreline of Australian continent to the desolate barren wasteland that lies within, indeed our landscape has changed since our early settling days. Such a vast and diverse terrain and contemporary vernacular cannot be en- capsulated visually, physiologically or emotionally with ease.
