‘I live in the late twentieth century and this is my subject matter and what
influences my work. I’m informed every day by switching on the evening news, by
looking at the newspaper, by reading current art magazines, by observing events
around me – I think my work reflects this, and it therefore has a contemporary
presence. I certainly hope it does.’1

Exodust Crying Country - Fiona Hall

Wilson, E. (2022). Fiona Hall and AJ King: Exodust – Crying Country. https://www.art-almanac.com.au/fiona-hall-and-aj-king-exodust-crying-country/
Tucked away in a cave-like space, under layers of ground in Mona, Museum of Old and New Art’s basement gallery, Exodust – Crying Country from Sydney-born and Hobart-based artist Fiona Hall, and AJ King, a Bigambul/Wakka Wakka cultural practitioner, is an immersive, dark experience. Lacking light, the exhibition envelopes the audience into its gloom, oppressing those who venture through the torched black forest of burnt trees and debris.

MCA. (2002). Fiona Hall. https://www.mca.com.au/artists-works/artists/fiona-hall/
Fiona Hall works across a broad range of media including painting, photography, sculpture and installation, often employing forms of museological display. Her work has a strong material basis. Recurrent themes include globalisation, the relationships between ecology and economy, systems of classification and domestic order and other comparative structures. Hall studied painting at the National Art School, Sydney in the 1970s and came to prominence as a photographer, but has extended into media including sculpture, installation, moving image and garden design.

Wrong Way Time

Hurst, R. (2015). Fiona Hall: Wrong Way Time. Architecture Australia, 104(4), 28–30.
This article presents an interview with Fiona Hall, the first Australian artist to exhibit at the new Australian Pavilion at the international architecture exhibition La Biennale di Venezia in Venice, Italy.

Fiona Hall reels people in with their first glance at her art work. This happens for a simple reason: she uses familiar materials as hooks. Camouflage fabric for young boys, brightly labelled sardine cans for those keen on retro, old clocks for the analogue crowd, or cooking pots for the foodie contingent. The wit and emotion, the fine detail and intelligence arrive more subtly.
