Octopus 9: I Forget to Forget

EXHIBITION INFO

In 2009, Rennie exhibited at Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces flagship curatorial project, Octopus. Curated by Stephen Gilchrist (curator of Indigenous Art, National Gallery of Australia), Octopus 9: I Forget to Forget, bought together a selection of prominent contemporary artists whose work deals with Indigenous Australia's historical truths. The exhibition was particularly timely, marking 1 year after the Australian Government made a formal apology to Indigenous people who were members of the ‘Stolen Generations’.
