This exhibition focuses on recent developments in contemporary painting, notably expanded painting practices in which the relations between art and life are intensified. Nadia Hernández, Lucina Lane, Gian Manik, Betty Muffler, Jahnne Pasco-White, Jason Phu, JD Reforma and Esther Stewart approach the medium as a vehicle through which to consider cultural and family histories, our relationship to Country and the environment, institutional and domestic architectures, and the role of art and the gallery as a repository of memories, and to commune with those who have come before.
