Raised on Fertile Ground

A series of groundbreaking events held in regional Victoria, the Mildura Sculpture Triennials left an indelible mark on the Australian contemporary art landscape. Led by visionary curator Tom McCullough, who would use his Mildura model to later fashion his directorship of the Sydney Biennale, the Triennials were

a freewheeling consideration of contemporary forms that the state art museums could barely contemplate, let alone accommodate.
