Dreamhome : stories of art and shelter

Paton, Justin2023
Book
Dreamhome combines highlights from the Art Gallery of New South Wales collection with recent acquisitions, five new commissions and major loans. It reveals how 29 artists from Australia and overseas have made of the idea of home. For these artists, home is not only a house or a place, it's also memories, people, and stories. The exhibition itself forms a house of dreams in which locations and timeframes are always shifting. The artists take us to Cape Town, Los Angeles, Fitzroy Crossing; into living rooms, disaster zones and vast landscapes. Evocations of intimacy and sanctuary give way to visions of loss and upheaval, followed by projections of rebuilding and reconnection.
