Jean-Luc Godard Mervyn Bishop (NSW) Polly Borland (AUS/UK) Peta Clancy (VIC) Warwick Clarke (NSW) James Mellon (WA) David Moore (NSW) Ross T. Smith (NZ) Michelle Tyrrell (VIC) Marzena Wasikowska (ACT) Pippa Wischer (VIC) From the moment we are born we are hard-wired to respond to the features of the human face. No matter how many people we meet or pictures we see, the face beguiles us with the promise of insight. Timed to coincide with the announcement of the Archibald Prize, this exhibition explores our fascination with the face through the work of contemporary Australian photographers. Ranging in form and content, the images in this exhibition exploit and extend the conventions of portraiture. Image Credits: •  Warwick Clarke, Joe, 2001 •  James Mellon, Blair Rd, 2001 •  Ross T.
