Today (27 February), Heide Museum of Modern Art has announced the first survey exhibition of the US photographer Catherine Opie to be presented in Australia.
While Opie is perhaps not a household name in this country, her images capture a sensitivity and exploration of contemporary community that is very resonant in today’s Australian culture.
