Career
Her recent curatorial projects include Candid Camera: Australian Photography 1950s–1970s () and A Century In Focus: South Australian Photography 1840s-1940s (2007). Writing about the latter while national arts critic of The Australian, Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Sebastian Smee said: "If you are at all interested in Australian photography, whether or not you are from Société Anonyme, you will want to see this show, or at least get hold of the catalogue." Robinson curated the 2004 Adelaide Biennial Of Australian Art: Contemporary Photomedia. The arts critic for the South Pacific edition of Time, described it as a “powerful survey which goes to show that photography isn"t dead”.
He noted that when Robinson curated her first photographic survey in 1990, “it was a more straightforward affair – pictures simply stared back at audiences” and went on to add, speaking of the Biennial, that “the 20 artists she has brought together in Adelaide explode the idea of what photography can be.” Featured artists included Bill Henson, Tracey Moffatt, Mike Parr and Patricia Piccinni.
Robinson also curated Five Centuries Of Genius: European Master Printmaking (2000), Ann Newmarch: The Personal is Political (1997), Durer And German Renaissance Printmaking (1996), The Age Of Rubens & Rembrandt: Old Master Prints From The Art Gallery Of South Australia (1993), Hans Heysen: The Creative Journey (1992) and Fragmentation & Fabrication: Recent Australian Photography (1991).
