Arlo Mountford’s practice brings large scale interactive installations paired with sound, video and animation to the gallery. His work assaults our individual and collective memories of all things art history through the lens of the contemporary. Amusing, strange and laden with references, his films engage the darker side of our political and social histories through the construct of the art institution and the seminal works held within. This survey exhibition brings together several video works stitching together a lesson in time, place, and art history and shows a gradual distillation and culmination of his ideas to date.

Mountford completed a major commission for the National Gallery of Victoria in 2013 and at the Australian War Memorial in 2012. Many of the works shown at Goulburn Regional Art Gallery will be exhibited in NSW for the first time.
