Tues–Fri 10.00 to 4.00.
To May 30 A Good Idea – a space where architecture celebrates directness, ingenuity, and the transformative power of just -good- ideas. A Good Idea is a collaborative exhibition by Stand Van Zaken (BE), a state of play that brings together drawings by architects from around the world, serving as instructions for locally crafted artifacts. These peculiar objects, born of global imagination and local interpretation, are explicit in their construction yet indeterminate in their use, loosely exploring themes of domesticity and the often-overlooked rituals of everyday life. Together, the sketches and objects temporarily camp in the gallery space, creating an austere yet joyous interior – a rich scenography crafted with care and mindful of waste. Here, architecture celebrates collaboration, directness, ingenuity, and the beauty of bringing ideas to life.

Participants: Stand Van Zaken, Theo De Meyer (BE), Stefanie Everaert (BE), GFA2 (ES/AU), Desplans (FR/SE), BAST (FR), Erika Nakagawa + erikalab (JP), Mike Hewson (NZ/AU), Sam Chermayeff Office (DE/USA), Ine Meganck (BE).

Play has a dark side which frequently makes waves in popular entertainment, video games, and media.

Through their tongue-in-cheek creations, the artists in XSWL shatter once-innocent veneers, warning us that it’s all fun and games . . . until someone loses an eye.

The works challenge boundaries between science and mysticism, proposing that supernatural phenomena are simply natural processes not yet understood.

As society urbanises the allure of the natural environment is essential in our thinking and our art. The interpretation of landscape has been and always will be an inspiration for interpretation by Australian artists. As a joint show, Philip Cox and David Holm present this interpretation.

To Aug 31 ESP (Earth, Stone, Porcelain) showcases ceramic works by artists whose significant contributions are represented through multiple pieces in the collection. The exhibition explores the material essence of ceramics, highlighting the unique qualities of earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain. Each material embodies distinct characteristics – from earthenware’s warm, tactile surfaces to stoneware’s strength and subtlety, and porcelain’s refined translucence. Together, they illustrate the boundless potential of ceramics to merge form, function, and creative innovation. ESP also presents four short documentary videos, providing an intimate glimpse into the processes and inspirations of Billy Bain, Greg Daly, Vipoo Srivilasa and Prue Venables, with thanks to the Australian Design Centre.

May 10 to Aug 3 In Profile: Madison Baird.
Baird’s practice encompasses a range of bush landscapes, still life and figurative works. Exploring human relationships and the emotional reprieve found in nature. Spending time painting in the blue mountains (Dharug and Gundungarra land), Baird was inspired by the vibrant colours of the land shifting from winter to spring, watching the bush in a constant state of flux, and noticing the abundance of life that comes out both night and day.
May 17 to Aug 17 A Painter’s Painter.
Curated by Mosman-based artist Ann Cape, A Painter’s Painter examines the intimate relationship between portrait artist and sitter. Featuring depictions of some of Sydney’s most beloved artists, alongside these artists’ own work, viewers are invited into the space shared between artists and everything that space holds.

May 17 to Aug 17 Curlew Camp. The historic Curlew artists’ camp at Sirius Cove was the base for significant Australian painters such as Tom Roberts and Arthur Streeton, who helped foster a new ‘Australian style’. The exhibition features paintings from the period, as well as newly commissioned artworks by artists responding to the site, its artistic heritage and the paintings made there.
May 17 to Aug 17 Amrita Hepi: Scripture for a smokescreen: Episode 2 BABY BABY YOU’RE A NATURAL.
Amrita Hepi repositions ideals of human communication to mine an experience of transference with animals. Shot in two different zoos using available phone equipment, Hepi considers captivity, as a choreographer and vessel, and how zoos are agents of socialisation inextricably linked to mass communication. This alternative approach looks at adjacent technologies, how they implicate us in mass archiving of colonial monuments.
