Summary "Seize the Day examines the complex role of exhibitions within Australia's cultural, commercial and artistic histories. Exhibitions are dynamic sites for the construction of national identities and international collaborations, the showcasing of collecting and exhibiting practices, and the expression and contestation of race and gender. Detailed case studies explore the many facets of exhibitions - from ethnographic display to artistic competition to intercolonial rivalry - to reveal their politics, personalities and astonishingly rich material culture."--About page
