Ian Potter Museum of Art

There is a terrific exhibition at the Ian Potter Museum of Art – a return to form for this university art gallery after all those rather mixed football-themed exhibitions funded by (and named after) Basil Sellers. Not As The Songs of Other Lands: 19th Century Australian Landscape Painting explores the political, economic and cultural aspirations revealed by artistic representations of the land in Australian and American art during the nineteenth century. It’s a great opportunity to see some of the finest works by Eugene von Guérard, John Glover, and Nicholas Chevalier, and to encounter some exceptional American artists. The exhibition – organised in association with the Terra Foundation for American Art – runs until 11 June, with a two-day symposium, Parallel Histories, 6–8 April.
