DIRTY DOZEN
Who or what are the Dirty Dozen? Twelve-or-so messed-up, disorderly, snarling, vagrant or otherwise mischievous works from Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery artists thrown together into the large gallery to present a survey of some of the best antipodean contemporary art of the last two decades. Other works have been included just because we liked them. D12 artists include James Angus, Destiny Deacon, Dale Frank, Jacqueline Fraser, Simryn Gill, Fiona Hall, Louise Hearman, Bill Henson, Tracey Moffatt, Jenny Watson and John Wolseley.
Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery would like to thank Brown Brothers Wines for their generous sponsorship of the sparkling wines at the Dirty Dozen opening.
