Jonathan Jones and Sriwhana Spong - Moving Light

Moving Light brings together Sydney artist Jonathan Jones and Auckland artist Sriwhana Spong in an exploration of their use of light and darkness – in all its guises. From their engagement with elements of lighting and with popular culture to their critique of postcolonial issues, Jones and Spong share an attitude towards the use of space and objects as well as a conceptual positioning. Referencing their respective cultural backgrounds (Jones - Kamilaroi/Wiradjuri and Spong - Balinese) their works represent the collusion, or perhaps the blending, of worlds illuminated by the Balinese shrine, popular culture, the common fluoro tube and Aboriginal line patterns.

  Annabel Dixon - Making Something Else

Annabel Dixon is concerned with the materials and vocabularies of collecting and looking. The acts of sorting, listing and arranging are central to her interpretation processes. This solo exhibition brings together a significant number of strands and components of her practice, offering an overview of Dixon’s nuanced observations of paper, pattern and category.

Pat Brassington, Jan Davis, Diane Longley and Marion Manifold - Bit Perfect

Bit Perfect brings together a selection of award-winning digital prints and artists’ books acquired from the Fremantle Print Award. Specialising in digital photography and print technologies, the works evoke ideas about feminine identify and sensuality, while the books provide the viewer with insight into artists’ experiences of travel and place.
