It features artists from Korea and Australia as well as other countries such as China, Britain, New Zealand and India.
'This exhibition uses the character of the "trickster" as a lens through which we can understand the sometimes slippery and amusing practices in the work of these seventeen artists. The trickster figure mediates between opposing worlds or cultural zones, crosses customary limits, and has a presence in both the real world and a fantasy world...that communicates across cultural and popular divisions, plays virtual and make-believe games, and defies the limits of the body.' - excerpt from introduction by Victoria Lynn
Artist statements and profiles are included.
Other participating artists: Tony Albert, Phil Collins, Gabriella Mangano & Silvana Mangano, TV Moore, Lisa Reihana, Julie Rrap, Yinka Shonibare, and Mari Velonaki
