Recent NSW listings include:
MARGARET AND THE GREY MARE
Artist – Katy B Plummer Curator – Luke Letourneau
Margaret and the Grey Mare is an immersive video installation that explores the possibilities of Artificial Intelligence as oracle, witchcraft as a feminist framework, and the troubling gifts passed down through lineage. The centrepiece is a sprawling hour-long video opera which transports audiences to a nameless forest at the height of the European witch-trials. The exhibition was originally developed for Casula Powerhouse, with Artist Profile magazine describing the program as “not to be missed” and “powerful narratives by artists who contribute significantly to the ongoing discourse of who we are, living here, now.”
Sally Robinson Screen Prints
Artist – Sally Robinson
Robinson’s silk screen prints from the 1970s and 80s vividly capture everyday Australian life—birds, animals, beaches, deserts, and suburban scenes—rendered in intensely bright colours that border on the surreal. These works, although depicting ordinary subjects, still stand out for their eye-catching brilliance, a stark contrast to the more politically charged artworks of her contemporaries at the time. Robinson’s prints celebrate leisure and local wildlife, often with a twist that adds a layer of humour or commentary. A visit to Antarctica in the 1990s inspired Robinson to produce a series of prints renowned for their clarity and grandeur, showcasing her ability to capture vast landscapes with unparalleled observation, often in combination with historical details.
Relative Terrains
Artists – Karma Barnes, Robert Franken
Relative Terrains traverses the geological environments and volcanic landscapes of Bundjalung Country- the Northern Rivers, exploring how the forces of elements, time, and life experiences shape and change us. Through a palimpsest of the Earth’s endless cycles of life and death, creation and destruction, the work examines how our internal and external experiences transform us. This immersive exhibition honours the power of collaboration and the profound impact of relationships on our lives. At the heart of this exhibition lies the use of earth pigments – the material, interface, and mediator through which different elements converge. Through a series of large-scale installations, visitors delve into the intricate web of connections that shape and transform us.
