Playfully titled r e a : c l a i m e d, this thoughtful survey highlights the breadth and impact of r e a’s contemporary practice. Born in 1962 in Coonabarabran, New South Wales, r e a lives and works on Darug and Gundungurra Country, also known as the Blue Mountains.
This presentation includes an exciting new commission alongside a curated selection of works spanning more than three decades. Presented across three galleries, the exhibition is accompanied by the largest monograph of r e a’s work to date, cementing their position as one of Australia’s leading figures in contemporary art. With trans rights increasingly under threat internationally, this is a timely exhibition that addresses themes of memory, representation, intersectionality, and positionality.
Please note ACCA is closed Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.
