In the Project Space, Joan Ross presents her new video, The Claiming of Things, for the first time in Sydney, alongside recent prints, drawings and sculptural works.

The Claiming of Things reconfigures and plays with, as its backdrop, an early Australian colonial painting by John Glover.
 
The work considers numerous themes simultaneously: the connection to, the disconnection from and ultimately the attempt to civilise nature; imperialism, its power relationships and racism; consumerism and throw-away culture. Global warming, fear, ownership, boundaries, surveillance, graffiti tagging, naming and claiming!
