Attachment Styles: Modes of Belonging in Modern and Contemporary Art

Art Gallery of Western Australia · Perth
2025-12-13 to 2027-05-02

Why do we crave closeness while keeping one foot out the door? Why do we love, withdraw, cling to or sabotage our connections with others? Attachment Styles brings together works from the 19th to 21st century to explore these questions, showing how artists have long grappled with the emotional complexity of human relationships between individuals, communities and the environments they inhabit. The display draws on the language of attachment styles: anxious, avoidant, disorganised and secure.
