Featuring Robert Rainey’s Same Sex from the Self Family Portrait Series 2003-5, Raised by Wolves explores various alternative/non-traditional family structures as well as the emotional and social consequences of the nuclear family itself. Participating artists are concerned with ideas including posing alternative models of being and relating as well as charting the enticing possibilities and frightening realities of living outside mainstream society.
This challenging and complex exhibition brings together historical, contemporary and Indigenous works on paper, sculpture, paintings, film and installation.
Raised by Wolves runs at the Art Gallery of WA in Northbridge Cultural Centre until 17 June.
