Big Power Energy celebrates artists. This exhibition includes works that are either physically monumental or conceptually bold.
Since its founding in 1967, the Power Collection has been inspirational for generations of Australasian artists. In the University of Sydney's 175th anniversary year we have invited 14 artists to each select a work from the Power Collection and to reflect on their choice.
This exhibition takes inspiration from the visionary bequest of J.W. Power, by focusing on works that are either physically monumental or conceptually bold. Many of the works have not been displayed for more than 30 years, and some are returning favourites.
