• Notes:
  Since 1989 Melbourne based artists Lyndell Brown and Charles Green have worked in collaboration. Their work represents worlds that throw into confusion the boundaries between past and present, fact and fiction. The artists recreate images from different cultural periods and context using together photography, painting and digital reproduction. They have held many solo exhibitions, and are represented in most major Australian collections. In early 2007 they were Australian Official Artists, working on location for the Australian War Memorial with the Australian Defense forces in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Gulf. The work Island is representative of their practice, the central image is of an astronaut and he shares the moonscape with two other images: one is from Jean Luc Godard's film Le Mepris, the other is of an 18th century etching of a Chinese Garden. The artists are fascinated by the process of collecting, sorting and archiving and by the implied relationship between memory and image.
