TURNING POINTS
Gallery artists group show

This selection of Annandale artists spans over three decades and focuses on the act of communicating a sense of place, particularly the unique forms and meaning that emerge from working on the periphery in one way or another. Some works allude to the complex task of preserving and promoting culturally significant knowledge, while others use painting as a form of sharing universal themes through the attempted distillation or translation of a highly site-specific experience. Notably, for almost all of the artists in Turning Points, embedding their surfaces with materials that directly reference the places in question (either through Law or aesthetic preference) plays an important role in constructing meaningful connections to the places influencing their work.

Exhibition dates: 24 July - 31 August


ELEMENTS OF SYMPATHY
Tané Andrews – Dennis Golding – Orson Heidrich – Kai Wasikowski
Curated by Andrew Chrisite
Elements of Sympathy brings together artists who work with refined mechanical and digital processes in contrast or cohabitation with the natural world. Prompted to consider the pharmakon–the ancient Greek term for both poison and medicine–their materials and methods investigate liminal spaces where notions of authorship, activism and bodily autonomy are constantly giving and gaining ground against the artificial aspects of contemporary life. This challenge has resulted in a display of works full of growth and decay, in both theory and practice.

“The value of [the pharmakon] is not in its ability to cure, but its ability to expose the weakness in our thinking, and cause harm to our misguided actions. These artists are calling us to acknowledge significant and complex societal failings across ecological sustainability, systemic racism, and technological co-dependence, and as a matter of course, giving us the freedom for meaningful introspection and communal dialogue.”

—Andrew Christie, Exhibition curator

Exhibition dates: 18 September – 23 October
