Throughout its history the pursuit of photographic detail has been both a scientific and a cultural obsession. This exhibition explores the work of artists who resist that obsession. In their work, potent but minimal gestures, rhythms and tonalities suggest ideas that capture the imagination.

Whilst minimalism in photography enjoyed something of a vogue in the context of eighties conceptualism, it continues to fascinate a number of younger contemporary practitioners today. The exhibition brings together recent work by nine Australian photo-artists. It draws on established minimalists such as Christine Cornish and Simone Douglas, showing alongside new-generation practitioners including Danielle Thompson and Martha Yoo, and cross-media artists Scott Redford and Marco Masci. Featuring a surprising diversity of styles and approach, this presentation explores the breadth of minimalist practice whilst situating it within the broader arts through comparison with music.
