To ‘show character’ or to be a ‘person of character’ is perhaps meaningless in a world where the thoughts and actions of any individual can be readily uploaded and disseminated at` any given moment. One character becomes as ubiquitous as the next.

Guest Curator Jonah Dames has brought together a group of Australian artists at various points in their careers, whose works in the show try to describe the fleeting idea of character. The result is a diverse array of drawings, prints, sculptures, installation and video works that will be shown in PICA’s West End Gallery.
