Visioning Industry

Examining the ever evolving Industry within the Gladstone Region, this Gallery & Museum curated exhibition uses pieces from the permanent collection, including an exquisite series of black and white photographs by Max Dupain, Ken Redshaw and Wolfgang Sievers.  These unique images taken of Queensland Alumina Ltd. in the 1960s and 1970s, alongside paintings and prints of other familiar Industry sites, compliment items from the Gallery & Museum's Historical Archives.  In addition to this, Canberra-based video artist Janice Kuczkowski's moving image piece, Turkey Beach will also be exhibited.
