Devonport Regional Gallery
A Place in Flux: Queering the North West
GEORGE KENNEDY
Little Gallery Emerging Artist Program
Exhibition Dates: 30 April – 28 May 2022
The Hobart based artist, George Kennedy has for the last few years spent much time travelling Tasmania, to explore and get a feeling for places, communities, and their unique landscapes. His current practice focuses on sites of curated beauty, at the expense of other places, contextualising them within a queer framework. He creates from a lived transgender experience, challenging Eurocentric aesthetics and ideals of hierarchy and colonialism. For his exhibition, A Place in Flux: Queering the North Coast, George’s explorations focused on the landscape surrounding Devonport. This exhibition is presented under the Little Gallery Emerging Artist Program.
