About this event
What to expect
Inside the Mirage is a group exhibition shaped by the imaginative and philosophical worlds of artists Ian Fairweather and John Young Zerunge, held in the TarraWarra Museum of Art Collection.
Drawing these two practices into dialogue, the exhibition highlights new perspectives and connections between Australian art history and the present. It foregrounds artworks that have shared and inherited stories as their basis, revealing the intertwined histories and complex cultural narratives that shape contemporary identities and world views.
Inside the Mirage explores the entangled relationships between artists, temporal frameworks and geographic contexts, centering the realities of lived experience. Artworks from the TarraWarra Museum of Art Collection are presented alongside selected loans from contemporary Australian artists including Mikala Dwyer, Narelle Jubelin, Michael Stevenson, My Le Thi, Zhou Xiaoping and Johnny Bulunbulun, Meng Yu Yan, William Yang and others. Across diasporas, time, and place, Inside the Mirage weaves loose threads together to humanise the mythical and to generate new narratives of social belonging, inviting people to reimagine their relationships with one another and the worlds that are shared.
