Looking Out, Looking In: Exploring the Self-Portrait

People’s persistent interest in self-image is explored in a new exhibition of work from the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) Collection. Drawing from QAGOMA’s Australian, Indigenous Australian, Asia Pacific and International collections, Looking Out, Looking In: Exploring the Self-Portrait highlights richly diverse approaches to the timeless artistic genre. In an age when digital technology has transformed the way we live and interpret our lives, Looking Out, Looking In offers a broad and accessible setting in which to consider our contemporary obsession with self.
