Double vision exuberantly explores contemporary art with ideas of portraiture and the body as the focus. Representing through a myriad of mediums what it is to be human, the exhibition charts its ways through encounters of the unexpected, psychological and humorous.

Including key works from McClelland’s permanent collection augmented by private and public collection loans Double Vision includes the work of Stephen Birch, Lyndell Brown and Charles Green, Juan Ford, Petrina Hicks, Cherry Hood, Sam Jinks, Justine Khamara, Rosemary Laing, Ron Mueck, Jan Nelson, Evan Penny, Patricia Piccinini, Caroline Rothwell, Julie Rrap, Alexander Seton, Ricky Swallow, Colin Suggett, Christian Thompson and Ronnie van Hout.
