"love's body - art in the age of AIDS" Photo Exhibition
2 October 2010 - 5 December 2010
The exhibition deals with expression of AIDS and sexuality. From the late 1980s to early 1990ss, AIDS became more than just an incurable disease that took the lives of numerous artists. It also provided photography and art with the opportunity to carry out a fundamental reassessment of social problems such as prejudice and discrimination. This exhibition presents 78 works from 8 artists that are powerful enough to have influenced aspects of art and photography while reappraising and redefining their meaning.
Australian William Yang's work consists of photographs of his ex-lover, Allan, whom he met again after an interval of three years and knew that Allan was HIV positive, it covers a period of one year and ten months, and each picture is combined with a handwritten note.
