Cover Text

Under the auspieces of the festival celebrating the 300th anniversary of the Peace Treaty of Utrecht (1713), Blak Douglas and Adam Geczy mount a searching, confronting exhibition about the indifference of white Australia to a real and lasting treaty with the Indigenous people. Recurrent themes are excesses of nationalism and the profound inequalities between the Aboriginal population and the new occupiers of the land. BOMB is an activist spectacle that is caustic, radical and uncompromising, and where social engagement, performance and politics come together. BOMB is more than a confronting, visual arts exhibition. It is an integral whole, a multimedia happening, in which the visitor participates. This catalogue comprises exhibition installation shots and essays by Blak Douglas & Adam Geczy, Alisa Duff, Ian McLean, Maurice O'Riordan and Georges Petitjean.
