Through this project miscarriages of justice, official corruption, wrongful detention, investigative failures and mistreatment of those on the margins will be explored.
The exhibition will include the commissioning of six new works developed through a unique process of research and collaborative conversation between the artists and lawyers who have been directly involved with the particular case each artist is addressing.
Cases include the high profile public interest cases of Cornelia Rau, Roni Levi, Azaria Chamberlain, Eddie Russell, Kathleen Folbigg and a number of Hunter missing children’s cases. The exhibition features artists Corinne Brittain, Rob Cleworth, Blak Douglas, John A Douglas, Leah Emery, Lezlie Tilley and Richard Lewer.
JusticeINjustice opens on March 24 until May 20. The Lock-Up is located at 90 Hunter Street, Newcastle.
