10 - 27 NOVEMBER 2020
| BOUNDARIES: PAINTING MY WAY HOME The history of place and more specifically one's personal history of place, changes the perception to it. The memories that are embedded there serve as mnemonic references that are connected both to time and to space. These references provide us with the parameters for a re-constructed personal history and in turn a sense of belonging and identification. Memories are subjectively expanded, attaching themselves to objects like visual prompts reimagining this landscape through visceral responses. |
30 SEPTEMBER - 30 OCTOBER 2020
| LOVES LAST TOKEN: TRACE OBJECTS This exhibition explores Trace Objects, the mementos people leave at graves. These objects come to represent a person who has died and to express the grief and love mourners have for the deceased. The works are an enquiry into a topic that is often avoided or ignored even though it is ever present in our lives. Through the mediums of early photographic processes, dark room photography, embroidery and installation, traditional and contemporary art practices are used to explore Trace Objects, revealing their sublime nature. This exhibition is a conversation in the process of demystifying death. |
10 AUGUST - 25 SEPTEMBER 2020
| SENSORY ECHOES Sensory Echoes comprises a collection of works and experiments developed in situ over the course of the exhibition. The work has been developed as part of Kira’s PhD research, which is situated in the space between architecture and art and explores ideas of embodied perception, the body’s after image and memory, kinesthetic learning and latent aspects of space. |
29 MARCH - 30 JULY 2020
| THINKING IN PICTURES Thinking in Pictures aims to visualise the female phenotype of autism spectrum disorder through creative practice. The exhibition seeks to defy myths and stereotypes and bring awareness to the often complex and camouflaged female presentation of ASD. In translating the invisible to visible - whilst promoting the creativity not often associated with being on the spectrum - the exhibition showcases vivid and expressive works that highlight the rich inner world and workings of a different mind. |
9 JANUARY - 21 MARCH 2020
| COMMONPLACE Commonplace is an exhibition of collaborative drawing projects by Beth George, Michael Chapman and others. The drawings explore the relationships between empathy, embodiment, memory and architectural space and will be undertaken in the gallery space over the course of the exhibition.

17 JULY - 23 AUGUST 2019
| ERASURE Erasure is never simply a matter of making things disappear: there is always a remainder that comes about in the aftermath, some mark on the surface from which a word or image or note has been removed. Whether crossed out, written-over or rubbed away, the forsaken item has a habit of returning, like a spectre: if only in the marks that assume its place and assert its passing. - Opening and performances Tuesday 6 August from 7:30pm Follow up event and performances Tuesday 13 August from 7:30pm |
