Social Networking

Overview

Chances are you're reading this article thinking it has something to do with Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg or Jesse Eisenberg. Unfortunately it's not going to be about any of these people, but more fortunately it is about something interesting that will both educate and entertain you.

Believe it or not the concept of social networking was utilised well before the introduction of the online social media giant. Just incase you forgot how personal (as in face to face) contact is utilised in the creative, professional world, GoMA gives you the Social Networking exhibition.

Addressing themes such as human rights, sustainability and cultural exchange, the exhibition reflects on the ways that individuals shape, and are shaped by, their social networks by exposing how contemporary artists seek social contact with their subjects and audiences.

Featuring the work of many acclaimed artists such as Destiny Deacon and Virginia Fraser (Australia), Pat Hoffie (Australia), Sutee Kunavichayanont (Thailand), Jompet Kuswidananto (Indonesia), Raquel Ormella (Australia), Tsuyoshi Ozawa (Japan), You Are Here (Australia) and Zhang Huan (China) there is sure to be something interesting to suit every artistic taste.
