FAME

Main gallery

Catalogue text by Lee Agius and Scott Matthews

Five artists explored the phenomena of fame through sculpture, photography, and sign writing. How does the notion of fame affect artists and their careers? Can artists become as famous as movie stars? Can fame become a motivating force for art practices? The exhibition drew attention to - and called into question - the popularity of the visual arts and its relationship to popular culture.
