To Dec 14 Hoda Afshar: A Curve is a Broken Line.
The first major solo exhibition by one of Australia’s most innovative and unflinching photomedia artists. Through her photographs and moving image works, Iranian-born, Melbourne-based Hoda Afshar examines the politics of image-making. Deeply researched yet emotionally sensitive, her work can be seen as a form of activism as much as an artistic inquiry. Hoda Afshar: A Curve is a Broken Line is an Art Gallery of New South Wales touring exhibition.
To Dec 14 Vibrant Matter – Simone Slee, Susan Jacobs and Ross Manning. Bringing together works from the UQ Collection and beyond, this exhibition is attentive to the agency of materials and to the vibrancy of matter. The artists included in Vibrant Matter have co-produced their work with material components of drawing, sculpture, and sound art. Welcoming the active participation of these more-than-human materials and beings, the works move away from singular of authorship and instead actively co-create.
To Dec 14 Dusk of Nations features selected works by leading Australian-based artists drawn primarily from the UQ Collection – Cigdem Aydemir, Brook Andrew, Fiona Foley, Jack Green, Kathleen France Inkamala, Vanessa Inkamala, Rosemary Laing, Archie Moore, Sally M Nangala Mulda, Raquel Ormella, Gloria Napurrurla Pannka, Kenny Pittock, Luke Roberts, Arthur Streeton, and Keemon Williams. Spanning painting, photography, sculptural objects and moving image, artists explore ideas of national identity and nationhood, and how these concepts are defended and maintained, resisted and subverted.
