ARTEXPRESS 2013
The work of Sydney's best HSC artists will make you feel like an underachiever.
Overview
Those familiar with Visual Arts Process Diaries and bodies of work (in the arty sense) will already be clued up on ARTEXPRESS (and hopefully appearing in it). For everyone else, it’s the cream of the crop in terms of Higher School Certificate Visual Art.
Only 42 artworks (out of 9500 students) across all media are picked for the exhibition from last year's HSC. Yep, that's a lot of sorting. Exhibiting the works now means that the students have had time to party at schoolies and get to start their year checking out their artworks on the walls of an art gallery. Not a bad start.
It’s been happening every year for the last 30 years, and it's one of those exhibitions that can make you feel, well, just a little bit lazy. Running alongside this is also Express Yourself 2013, held at the Manly Art Gallery & Museum (8 February to 10 March), which is showcasing some of the northern beaches' students artwork. (It's also a part of Art Month.)
