The exhibition at Domain House commemorates the 1967 bushfires and draws together Tasmanian artists working across a range of mediums including video installation, jewellery, electronic media, sculpture and furniture whose work responds to how fire has shaped the landscape and affected the psyche of the people that occupy this land. The title, Remanence, creates links to continuance and remains, but also references and extends the scientific meaning of the term and the concept of residual magnetism to describe the invisible forces that linger long after an initial object (or event) has been detached.
