From the Collection: National Anthem & A New Order

A book with a green cover

National Anthem and A New Order, curated respectively by Kate Just and Linda Short, form a double bill of exhibitions marking Buxton Contemporary’s first anniversary as a salient new player in the field of museums and contemporary art organisations in Victoria. Both exhibitions are maverick and resolute, and blaze with robust and savvy artworks. More consequentially, they bristle with a sense of urgency in contesting and redefining our contemporary condition of nationhood and pivot on examining the very idea of structure, rule and regulation.
