Mark Bayly, CMAG’s Assistant Director Exhibitions and Collections, is curator of the exhibition, KIRSTIE REA the land: a 20 year survey.

Mark has followed Rea’s work since his arrival in Canberra in 1997. He has engaged in an extended dialogue with the artist about her practice and its connections with the landscape of the Canberra region and her own creative imagination.
