The McClelland Collection:
50 Years

15 May -
15 August 2021

In its fifty year history, McClelland has developed a significant collection of over 2600 works in all media through significant gifts, bequests and acquisition funds. The gallery’s focus has largely been on spatial practice in various forms – from sculpture and video, to photography, printmaking and painting. This exhibition surveys key works from the McClelland collection, which together offer a unique engagement with our environment, exploring diverse experiences of the natural, domestic, social, and conceptual spaces we inhabit.
