By Latrobe City - 24th May 2007 - Back to News Gallery Director, Jacqui Hemsley said that Jason Smith, Curator, Contemporary Art, National Gallery of Victoria, will give an insightful presentation about ‘passenger’ and how Norrie has used her role as an artist to investigate and document the truths and experiences of our time.
"Norrie’s exhibition ‘passenger’ comprises of five individual films that are screened in one enclosed space. Each looped film sequence interacts with the others to amplify the visual, filmic and conceptual potency of the work.
