Vehicles in Contemporary Art Reviews

Vehicles in Contemporary Art is the first book in the Celebrate Art 2010 Subscription.

Vehicles in Contemporary art aligns easily with the interests of children and adults in their fascination of the machines that move us. These contemporary Australasian artists, 3 men and two women, also move us is surprising ways. Their work and how they got there, delights and challenges any stereotypical views of art or transport be it road, air or 'in your dreams'.

Spanning the processes of paint, print assemblage, sculpture and clay this postmodern resource is designed to stimulate both conversations and physical response; moving playfully and accessibly across time, culture, gender and technical issues.

It is a valuable library and classroom resource spanning upper primary and junior secondary art programmes opening possibilities for students to take their own inspired ideas for a spin.

The authors of Vehicles in Contemporary Art have offered both classroom teachers and art specialists a visually attractive resource that takes an innovative look at the art practice of five contemporary artists who use vehicles as subject matter in diverse , nontraditional ways. It is my fervent hope that this is the beginning of a series of art texts that use non-conventional subject matter as springboards into art learning and making. It makes a welcome addition to the field!
