Nineteen Sixty-Three: News and Information – A Photographic Installation of one hundred images by Martyn Jolly

This exhibition is an idiosyncratic visual archaeology of Australia’s recent past. Jolly has undertaken a visual excavation of photographs taken for the Australian News and Information Bureau in 1963 concentrating on gestures, unconscious body language, the folds and creases of clothing, the juxtaposition of patterns and surfaces.
