Two of JOHN YOUNG's works are currently on display in the exhibition Infinite Conversations at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra. The exhibition looks at the creative practice of artists from mainland China and Hong Kong, a number of whom settled in Australia following the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.
Using diverse modes of production, these artists confront and recount the challenges of making a new home with shifting degrees of grief, poetry and optimism.
