Femme-maison: imagined boundaries – women artists from the collection and beyond

This exhibition celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Women’s Art Movement in Australia in Macquarie University’s 60th anniversary.

A collection can reveal multiple viewpoints and conceptions, nuanced
by its history of continuity and gaps. In recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Women’s Art Movement in Australia – and Macquarie University's 60th anniversary – the curators have tapped into the university's art collection by reappraising those shifts and generational legacies. This has unearthed a rich visual narrative of women’s creative spaces.

Artists include: Effy Alexakis, Davida Allen, Suzanne Archer, Bronwyn Bancroft, Joanna Braithwaite, Charlene Carrington, Christine Dean, Tamara Dean, Elisabeth Frink, Rosalie Gascoigne, Juno Gemes, Marea Gazzard, Celia Gullett, Anna-Karina Hermkens, Margel Hinder, Linde Ivimey, Carol Jerrems, Rosemary Laing, Janet Laurence, Lindy Lee, Kathrin Longhurst, Kerrie Lester, Tracey Moffatt, Teena McCarthy, Susan Norrie, Susan O’Doherty, Bronwyn Oliver, Vivienne Penguilly, Bridget Riley, Sally Ross, Anne Thomson, Jenny Watson and more.
