HUNTER RED

May 26 2018 — July 22 2018

The Hunter Red suite of exhibitions represents a collaborative vision shared by Hunter-based galleries: Lake Macquarie City Art Gallery, Maitland Regional Art Gallery, Newcastle Art Gallery and The Lock-Up Contemporary Art Space.

This collaborative project, Hunter Red, seeks to defy any one-dimensional view.

We are Hunter Reds but ‘red’ is:
the earth on which we
stand and share;
the symbol of celebration
and revelry;
our flesh and blood;
and our political unrest.

Each institution and exhibition examines a different vision of our region. It incorporates voices ignored and marginalised as well as celebrating joy and the fragility of our humanity. The Hunter Red collective challenges audiences to explore all the diverse and innovative exhibitions in this project, to travel between the institutions, engage in a host of varied and exciting public programs and be astounded by the wealth of the combined Hunter collections.

Razzamatazz is MRAG’s response.
