    Abstract

    This thesis employs art history and critical ethnography to examine contemporary art production in the South West of Western Australia. Responding to a paucity of publications and critique, and a claim the art scene is ‘folksy’ and ‘not up-to speed’ with metropolitan art scenes, I argue that ‘being regional’ is a legitimate position on its own terms and as part of a growing global tendency to recognises the validity of regional contexts and perspectives.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
