Arcadia | A chat with John Witzig
Arcadia is an exhibition of lyrical, richly-textured photographs by John Witzig, co-founder of Tracks magazine and founder of SeaNotes, with huge ink drawings by Nicholas Harding and psychedelic film footage by Albert Falzon.
Imbued with a Romantic conception of the awesome and spiritually restorative force of the sea, it expresses the free-spirited, revolutionary character of a group of young and perfectly-formed Australian surfers in the early 1970s.
‘By simply surfing we are supporting the revolution.’ Nat Young
Arcadia is on display at the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra until 19 October 2014. The exhibition will then tour to Geelong Gallery 29 November 2014 - 22 February 2015 and Tweed River Art Gallery from 2 October - 15 November 2015.

About the National Portrait Gallery
The purpose of the Gallery is to increase the understanding and appreciation of the Australian people – our identity, history, culture, creativity and diversity – through portraiture. 'Portrait Stories' are short interviews with an artist or sitter, sometimes both, usually about a particular portrait in the Gallery’s collection.
