My work is featured in this publication and I am excited for it to be launched in Queensland in 2 weeks. After recent events in Brisbane and Queensland, it is an exciting event for the QCP. The Photography artists from Brisbane will be on show in this publication and be reminded how important it has been in producing some of Australian's finest artists who use photography as their means of expression.

Representing over 190 artists, Look is the largest book ever published on Australian contemporary photography. Surveying and recording the significant historical changes to the art of the photographic image and process. The publication analyses the curatorial and critical issues that have contributed to photography over the last 30 years, through a key selection of critical essays accompanied by a timeline detailing important exhibitions and events, and an extensive bibliography.
This glossy publication is grouped together in themes, creating a strong dialogue across identity, life, experiment, space, and environment with sub themes including icon, desire, performance, abstract, inhabitants and land. Artists include, Bill Henson, Julie Rrap, Tracey Moffat, Brook Andrew, Pat Brassington, Anne Ferran, Destiny Deacon, Sue Ford, William Yang, Jane Burton, Petrina Hicks, Simryn Gill, Ray Cook, and more.
The collection of works represents an extensive five years of research and two years of production collated and compiled by one of Australia's most important national academic researchers Professor Anne Marsh.
Recognised for her ongoing work in this field, and for several earlier publications, including, "The Darkroom: Photography" and the "Theatre of Desire" published by Macmillan in 2003. Anne Marsh has undertaken a rigorous curatorial selection process to present both an intellectual and visual examination on the photo aesthetic.
Join us at the QCP to celebrate this great achievement and milestone in Australian photography with the author Anne Marsh and many of the artists.
