Little Treasures

Art collections are, among other things, a store of treasures worthy of preservation, study, and display. Co-curated by Duncan McKay and Paul Boyé and featuring works from the Curtin University Art Collection, this selection favours small objects to explore and interrogate the concept of treasure as it applies to these artworks and the broader world to which they respond. Crafted from materials made precious by the hands artists, these art objects prompt us to question contemporary notions of wealth, value, and the things that we are willing to do or accept to possess treasures of various kinds.
