To Feb 4, 2024 Imants Tillers: The Mosman Years – looks back at over 40 years of Imants Tillers’ work and begins with the moment in his career when he began painting on small, numbered boards rather than large canvases. Place is essential in Tillers’ work, drawing inspiration from poets, philosophers and past artists to tell stories of belonging and displacement, people and place. Mosman has been a home to Tillers, and he has documented its landscape and artistic history through works included in this exhibition.
To Feb 11, 2024 InProfile: Jo Mellor – Jo Mellor explores the plethora of environmental challenges that define our contemporary existence through the environmental degradation found in and around the mining town of Broken Hill, NSW. This body of work demonstrates the need to honour Country and to repair and care for our natural world. Mellor’s art practice sits at the nexus of digital imagery, landscape painting and textile art.

Dec 11 to Feb 11, 2024 The Cube: Jacobus Capone – Capone has an expansive and multi-disciplined practice where work often stems from self-initiated pilgrimages and performances that incorporate durational activity, measures of time or a sense of episodic memorial. Demarcation is part of a project that operates as a series of reconciliations and farewells unfolding within specific environments that have become inherently fragile through time and human undoing.

The Boom Gate Gallery was established in 1992 and operates as a professional gallery selling inmates’ work. It enables inmates to access art materials, and they are entitled to produce work for sale. The works are available to the public at reasonable prices. The Gallery promotes initiatives that further the public appreciation of prison art. The practice of art in many of the prisons at Long Bay, including, for instance, the Violence Prevention Unit, provides an avenue for disciplined, patient, thoughtful, and socially acceptable behaviour. We have worked in collaboration with The Big Anxiety Festival (UNSW) and see one of our roles as a support for mental health for incarcerated inmates. The Boom Gate Gallery annually has NAIDOC exhibitions and has supported women at Dillwynia through our Women in the Real World exhibition. Inmates receive 75% of all sales, and this can be accessed by their families. There is a constantly changing display of works at the Gallery as well as exhibitions held offsite, including the University of Sydney and the Downing Centre.
