Abstract
The exhibition presented the work of artists from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century that demonstrate a persistent pre-occupation with night, but also with a relationship to both urban and rural landscape. Curator and participating artist Janette Kerr writes, "The night show brings together artists whose work explores human association with nocturnal worlds. Some address night as an aesthetic intangible, some as an expression of naturalism, Romanticism and the sublime, while others draw upon the rich cultural legacy of narratives, metaphors and allegories associated with the nocturnal imagination."
