brief_description
TENSE PAST documents Gough’s major survey exhibition held at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Hobart from 7 June–3 November 2019. This epic exhibition, curated by Dr Mary Knights, showcased 25 years of Julie’s art practice and reunited more than 30 artworks from collections across Australia. Resonant historic artworks and objects were also selected by Gough to collectively critique, alongside her works, the colonisation of Tasmania and the aftermath-impacts on First People and colonists. The publication also documents the installation MISSING or DEAD which was part of the Dark Path activation on the Queens Domain during the 2019 Dark Mofo festival, as well as selected works since 2019 to the present day. TENSE PAST, with its powerful truth-telling narrative, is published by artist Julie Gough under her imprint Tebrikunna Press, with funding from Australia Council for the Arts and Arts Tasmania, Julie Gough, Warner Design, Bellendena Small Grants Scheme, and the OUTSIDE THE BOX / Earth Arts Rights team.
