Forthcoming exhibitions, 2012 and 2013

Forthcoming exhibitions for the remainder of 2012 include the return of Lena Torikov and Louise Foletta, as well as new (to us) artists Russell Dammers, Bozena Wiszniewski, Greg Neville and Kirsten Perry.

A large percentage of exhibitions for 2013 have also been confirmed, with the first three of the year group shows. 'Men on Men', part of Midsumma and curated by T J Bateson, starts the year off with a bang, followed by a, as yet untitled, print show curated by Stephanie J Rampton. Third group features art professionals from St Vincent's. The year will also see the return of Thomas Delohery, T J Bateson, Stephanie J Rampton and Rosemary Harris Arnott with their latest solo shows.

Project Space

T J Bateson

Tim Bateson is intrigued by the notion that through the extended contemplation of a field of limited colour and tonality, the subtle shifts and nuances will begin to take on an amplified resonance.

CURRENT EXHIBITION

Russell Dammers

Russell Dammers paintings are 'metascapes', derived from nature’s vibrational impact on the unconscious, which alters and transforms one’s personal geometry. This emphasises the intrinsic link between both mathematics and spirituality.

The works in his latest solo exhibition bring the viewer into a metaphysical world of purity void of one’s preconceived associations with physical reality.
