EXHIBITIONS
7 May - 14 August
REASSESS PROGRESS
Elosie Cleary, Gavin Coote, Fabric & Flora, Dakota Feirer (and Anthony Smith) and Lucia Hayes.
Curated by Xanthe Barker this third iteration of Here+ Now seeks to dust-off the notion of 'progress', examine it and reconsider if it is still bringing humanity closer to Utopia
7 May - 14 August
DEEP SOUNDING
Friederike Krishnabhakdi-Vasilakis and Leon Vasilakis
This multi-arts exhibition combines moving visuals of coastal ocean-scapes overlaid with a soundscape of modulated sound of underwater animals and their environment. Textual meanderings into tales and history allude to greater ecological narratives and contemplations of what oceans mean to the world, and what the world means to oceans.
4 June - 28 August
THERE'S A CRACK IN EVERYTHING
Liam Benson & Caitlin Kozman, David Capra & Katrina O'Brien, Tina Havelock Stevens & Betsy, Daniel Mudie Cunningham & Wart.
A group exhibition curated by local mental health and suicide prevention advocate and visual art curator Carrie Lumby. It pairs leading contemporary artists with people with lived experience of the distress, trauma, grief and loss associated with suicide to make a work that creatively translates and transforms these deeply personal experiences.
