Founded in 1981 at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australian Perspecta was a biennial survey of local contemporary art, held in alternating years to the Sydney Biennale. As part of the final Perspecta in 1999, Lee and co-curator Maurice O’Riordan developed an exhibition titled Love Magic: Erotics and Politics in Indigenous Art, staged at S. H. Ervin Gallery, Sydney. The show brought together thirty-four First Nations artists to explore sex, sexuality, sexual health, eroticism, romance and lust. A painting on bark – almost identical to this one – by Paddy Compass Namadbara was displayed in the show to signal the prevalence of sexual thematics in First Nations storytelling.
