HEIDI WOOD: OFF THE MAP

22 September - 6 November 2018

Paris-based Australian artist Heidi Wood’s immersive work will explore her ongoing curiosity about tourism and the unpopularity of tourist zones particularly within the ex-Soviet bloc. Creating her own promotional environment utilising a repertoire of commercial pictograms, mementos and symbols, Wood deliberately questions the very position of culture, the messages it can provide and the people it aims to target.

Paris-based Australian artist Heidi Wood’s large-scale immersive wall installation explores the artist's ongoing curiosity about tourism and the unpopularity of tourist zones particularly within the ex-Soviet bloc. Creating her own promotional environment utilising a repertoire of commercial pictograms, mementos and symbols, Wood deliberately questions the very position of culture, the messages it can provide and the people it aims to target.
