After Kosuth: Improv. Property

Jessica Coughlan
installation

Where in his 1965 writings Kosuth was concerned with a discarding of aesthetic values in lieu of cerebral rewards, I see the possibilities now of an idealism saluting the integration of property into the equation, where notions of ownership can but only taint art’s resolve. Where art’s expectations are to transcend the day to day, money/power paradigms are not easily relenting.

The Hoist

I Doubt It’s A Drought

Alastair Ferguson

drawing

I Doubt It’s A Drought is a series of twenty drawings based around a poem I composed whilst living in drought stricken northern New South Wales. Being from the city, I had never really thought too much about drought. Whilst living in the country, new meaning came to me of what drought was and how it affected people living on the land. My story is about hope; all the heartache and despair will be washed away if only it would rain.

The Pit

R&R

Robyn Bell and Roger Smith
painting

Roger Smith and Robyn Bell have joined together to exhibit their paintings in the Pit Gallery. Roger’s works use banksias as the theme, and he depicts this native flora in a very oriental way and uses a background of brilliant colours. Robyn’s paintings use the landscape, specifically the colours and vast expanses of the top end.
