A major exhibition of contemporary Australian artists has opened at the Switchback Gallery, Gippsland campus.

Fictions, presented by the Monash University Museum of Art (MUMA), features a range of works from the Monash collection and selected loans including artists Petr Herel, Moya McKenna, Philip Hunter, Nick Mangan, David Noonan, Greg Harrison and James Morrison.

“The works draw on myriad sources including literature, art history and the fantastic, suspending our everyday realities and prompting contemplation of the nature of creativity and imagination,” exhibition curator Kirrily Hammond said.

The exhibition runs until Thursday 9 October, 2008.

Switchback Gallery is located at the Gippsland Centre for Art and Design, Monash University, Gippsland campus, Churchill.
