Art & Australia. Issue Two

This issue of Art + Australia (the third in the journal’s new academic context) extrapolates contemporary and historically-infected notions of the plague. Within this metaphor, a number of doom-laden scenarios are clustered: not only pestilence -- by whatever contagious agent and through whatever toxic medium: disease, data cloud or drone -- but also collapse, crash and extinction. These ideas are examined through various cultural moments and artistic practices.
