March 7 to June 14 Sky, Earth, Water – explores Rosalie Gascoigne’s deep connection to the material landscape, alongside significant new commissions by leading First Nations artists Lorraine Connelly-Northey, Janet Fieldhouse, and Glenda Nicholls. Gascoigne’s works evoke massed white clouds, snaking bodies of water, and weathered grey and golden expanses inspired by the wheat fields of the Monaro region of southeastern New South Wales. This focused exhibition illuminates the ongoing evolution of Gascoigne’s practice, which centred on the resonances between found industrially-produced materials and the Australian landscape. From smaller experimental studies through to some of her brightest, most iconic works, Sky, Earth, Water presents Gascoigne’s unique, evocative vision. The exhibition will present over 20 key works on loan from major institutions including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the National Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Victoria, Heide Museum of Modern Art, TarraWarra Museum of Art and from significant private collections.

To Nov 1 Recollection Every bark painting from the First Nations collection emerges in a powerful gathering of Ancestral beings, totems and narratives. Spanning Communities across West, Central and East Arnhem Land, Groote Eylandt, and the Tiwi Islands, these works reflect the dynamic patterns and innovations of bark painting across Country in the Northern Territory. Framed as a recollection of cultural and Ancestral memory, the exhibition celebrates this distinct genre of First Nations artmaking as both cultural practice and fine art, while recontextualising the historic Council Chambers as a space of agency, Dreaming and cultural continuity.
