EXHIBITIONS
to 16 July -Value - New paintings by Archibald Prize winner, Adam Cullen.
Cullen presents a series of new paintings which blend abstracted and
figurative forms, combining graffiti style motifs, simple stick figures,
text and colour field. Value explores the notion of the 'failed
personality' and the attendant themes of violence, death and sex.
Somewhere Special - Mixed media work by Scottish artist-in-residence, Zoe Walker
Highlighting the metaphorical baggage - ideas, expectations, fantasies and
hopes - which attend our travels, indeed those very things that keep us
travelling, Walker parodies her own attempts to come to terms with the
Australian environment, trying to make the unfamiliar familiar.
