We're thrilled to announce the second exhibtion in

We're thrilled to announce the second exhibtion in 2022 program, Virtue & Virtuosity, which runs from March 12 - May 22, featuring Camile Henrot, Chantal Fraser, Tristan Jalleh, Maya Kilic, Tully Arnot, Lauren Berkowitz, Heather Phillipson, Troy Emery, and Speaking in Colour.

Presenting works of virtuosity, this exhibition brings together international and Australian artists whose works of colour and accomplishment masterfully draw attention to the murky areas between performance and authenticity, individualism and collective responsibility, action and inaction — with particular attention to the impasse and overwhlem of looming climate change.

Make Yourself at Home continues this week. Pictu

Make Yourself at Home continues this week.

Pictured is a work by @dennisgolding titled Fireplace which sits on the mezzanine level of the gallery. This piece continues his practice of asserting and layering his city and country identities through the appropriation of Victorian architectural and domestic features. Sitting in the fireplace Golding explores the story of eviction and dispossession with broken fragments of the lace fences.

He further extends his consideration of adornment and identity through a new satin cape Imagination and the video work Adorn. These works reference Golding’s recollections and connections to family, community and Country and lived experiences.
