Its Art Express 06 Thisyears show displayed at the University Art gallery, demonstrated the growing come to in contemporary issues and cultural awareness. The Show wasset up in separate sections, with similar art acidulates placed around thesame sections of space. There were two meth presentation boxes goingalong the centre on either side of the room, with three main walls,leading onto smaller walls, presenting the HSC selected works. The setup was cleverly done, as it was very easy to casually walk around andview all the works with out any trouble. As al expressions publicized in individuallyyears art express, it was impossible not to notice the extreme rangeof different media and forms of works the students used.
