GALLERY 1: The life of an art gallery is usually a short one (though red gallery has been showing new art for nearly 15 years). David Turner, however, has been making and showing art since the early 1970s, which is almost as meritorious as his spectacular gouache paintings in his latest solo show, Serious Business.…

GALLERY 2+3: “I am interested in school chairs and rubbish left on food court tables.” Xavier Jones Out of the studio and into the white cubes come six second-year students of RMIT’s Visual Arts school, and their disruptive, anxious, fascinated and entropic engagement with our chaotic world, the self, and the materials used to represent…

GALLERY 1: Claire Lefebvre’s third solo series of paintings explores wonderment, contemplation and meditation through the use of painted and drawn layers. United States of Curiosity is an exhibition of large, pulsating abstractions, with fluid-poured layers of colour, tight lines and repeating dots.

Washes of rubbed-back glazes, barely there,…

GALLERY 2: “Our relationship with the landscape is defined by constant movement. By moving through the landscape we leave a trace that marks the earth’s rich surface. The restless pattern of light and weather changes the land’s form before us, as surely as rounding a corner changes the view.”  Ceramicist Sarah Ormonde details the movements…

Over one month, whilst on separate continents, Anat Cossen and Sarina Lirosi sent each other one text message a day. Each message was interpreted by the recipient and represented as a photographic image. An interpretive dance…
