Exploratory Behaviour

Exploratory Behaviour is a biological term that refers to enquiry and experimentation, the accumulation of knowledge, and analysis and experience of the environment of which we are a part.

This exhibition integrates the works of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian and international artists. Working from these disparate points of origin – conceptually, culturally, geographically – these artists’ works explore the interconnection of art with the personal and public realities that shape the contemporary world.
