Says Strange of his new exhibition 'Shadow': "After making work looking at the American suburban dream, I wanted to create a body of work that reacted to the Australian suburbs as a whole. The suburbs have informed so much of our national identity but seems to undermine a deeper understanding of history and landscape in this country. This work is a reaction to that."
The exhibition coincides with the release of Home: The Art of Ian Strange a new 6-part ABC iview exclusive series tracking the past 8-years of Strange's career as he creates work directly on homes in New York, Alabama, Detroit, in Ohio's 'rust-belt' region, Fukushima's nuclear exclusion zone, post-earthquake Christchurch, New Zealand, Poland and back home in Australia - including full-scale installations of homes in Sydney's Cockatoo Island Turbine Hall, on the forecourt of the Art Gallery of South Australia and exhibitions in New York, the National Gallery of Victoria and the Canterbury Museum.
The series features interviews with filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, American artist Ron English, NGV Director Tony Ellwood, AGSA director Nick Mitzevich as well as Strange and his team he creates his large scale installations and exhibitions around the world.
