Press release

Marian Goodman Gallery Paris is pleased to present Dream Time, a solo exhibition of works by Daniel Boyd. Please join us for our opening reception on Saturday, 12 October, 6 - 8 pm. We welcome you to attend a conversation between Boyd and Asad Raza on Monday, 14 October, at 5 pm.

With his complex and divergent works spanning an array of historical references from landscape and Western-style portraiture to the traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, Daniel Boyd seeks to negotiate the identity of art, history and cultural survival through his investigations of oppressed and colonial culture. His questioning of what is defined as history blends seamlessly into the confluence of his work, where he brings to the forefront the often overlooked and discarded history of his Aboriginal ancestors. “We have the oldest continuous culture on earth and it's important to celebrate that,” said Boyd.
