Additional information: The exhibition Transit curated by Meredith Brice evolved in the United Arab Emirates in 2007 while I was living and working at the University of Sharjah. The exhibition brought together the works of two Australian artist couples, Meredith Brice, Stephen Copland, Karee S. Dahl and Colin Reaney, all living and working in the Persian Gulf. Transit was first shown in 2009 at the Virginia Commonwealth Gallery, Doha, Qatar, (Fig. 6) where the artist couples explored notions of homeland and material utopias in response to a sense of identity and space. Identities in transit and male and female aesthetic responses to this displacement became an ongoing investigation for the artists as the exhibition developed and redeveloped, traveling from Doha to: 2013 Transit Macquarie University Art Gallery, Sydney Australia 2010 Transit Art Gallery, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 2009 Transit Virginia Commonwealth Gallery, Doha, Qatar
