"Suburban" (Ian Strange, NGV Australia)

I like art that brings out the shadowy side of the suburban - the obvious reference point here is Gregory Crewdson, and it's an apt one for this set of photo works, a three-screen video installation and some fragments from the painted-on buildings (or, in some cases, literally burning) that feature in them.


Anyway, I liked this small exhibition - the images do successfully tap into something interesting.
