When

10 March 1999 -
03 April 1999

Location

Gallery 4A (Liverpool Street)

Level 3, 53-55 Liverpool Street Sydney 2000

Gallery 4A [4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art] presented two exhibitions by emerging Australian artists.

Mark Hislop’s work conceptually starts with the word ‘prescribe.’ It examines the relationships of medical, scientific and modernist paradigms. The word ‘prescribe’ deploys a purposeful authority, a procedural act, presupposing an intent of future action in addition to reliance on previous histories of proven effect.

Tan Yi Feng’s paintings explore themes of migration based upon his journey from China to Australia. His quirky and at times surreal paintings evoke ideas of cultural difference.
