DISORDER DISORDER
ULTERIOR MOTIVES IN CONTEMPORARY ART
14 August – 14 November 2010

As part of its ongoing commitment to contemporary art and youth cultures, Penrith Regional Gallery & The Lewers Bequest
will present Disorder Disorder – Ulterior Motives in Contemporary Art

Curated by Joseph Allen Shea, Disorder Disorder will showcase work by Australian, Japanese, American and European
visual artists whose practices engage with, and emerge from, their involvement with street and popular cultures. Artists
whose work has evolved within graffiti, skateboarding, tattooing, comics, surfing, commercial art, heavy metal and computer
gaming will be featured. Disorder Disorder will introduce a wider audience to these niche areas, areas that are thriving in
many parts of the world but are still relatively under the radar in Australia. This will be the first large-scale exhibition of
these artists, and the art of thesesub-cultures, in an Australian public institution.

By bringing together international and local talent, this exhibition will open up cross-cultural comparisons and connections,
both geographically and across sub-cultural interests, providing a fresh, dynamic and challenging exhibition for Australian
audiences. The exhibition will also provide stimulus to re-evaluate youth and street cultures, ideas of ‘high’ and ‘low’art and
our everyday experience of urban and suburban environments.
