Since 1990 he was the inaugural Professor of Visual Arts at CSU, as well as Head of Campus of CSU in Wagga Wagga, and the Head of the School of Visual and Performing Arts at CSU in Wagga Wagga from 1985-92.The exhibition is curated by Dr Neill Overton, lecturer in art history and visual culture in the CSU School of Communication and Creative Industries in Wagga Wagga, and reveals the extraordinary creative scope of Professor Green as a pivotal figure in the visual and textile arts of Australia. It showcases Professor Green's career as a designer, painter, embroiderer, drawer and illustrative artist of sleeping surrealisms.Dr Overton said, "Throughout his extensive career David Green has held over a dozen solo exhibitions and participated in over fifty group shows nationally and around the world. His work is held in numerous public and private collections including the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences (MAAS) in Sydney, the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Launceston, and the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery."Describing his work, Professor Green said, "Being an artist is a bit like being a bricklayer, each experience and emotion is a new brick. Building upwards and outwards, row on row, towards a future merely glimpsed, the foundation is yesterday, the creation is today, the new reality is tomorrow."The exhibition David Green: Revisiting yesterday, arriving tomorrow was officially opened at Wagga Wagga Art Gallery at 6pm on Friday 22 September by exhibition curator Dr Neill Overton.
