Between Waves is an exhibition developed by the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) touring nationally with NETS Victoria, curated by Dr Jessica Clark. This project has been supported by Creative Victoria through the Yalingwa Visual Arts Initiative and the NETS Victoria Exhibition Development Fund; and the Australian Government’s Visions of Australia program.

Backspace Gallery, 43 Mair Street Ballarat: Dec 13 to Jan 26, 2026 Tas Wansbrough: Fragments of healing. Dating back to ancient Greece, votive offerings are objects made and gifted in rituals of healing. Throughout many cultures, people have used votive objects to express hope, seek restoration, or mark a threshold between suffering and relief. Through her sculptures, local artist Tas Wansbrough continues this tradition. Created through repeated gestures of cutting, carving, sanding, each bodily form is the result of practiced skills and labour. The repetition of these actions becomes a ritualistic process; a way of making meaning through doing. Fragments of healing invites viewers to consider how the act of making, rooted in ritual, repetition, and intention, can become a tool for resilience.

Art Screen, Alfred Deakin Place: To Jan 30, 2026 TEXT/SCREEN/TEXT by Swedish-born Henrik Haukeland, an early-career artist living in Naarm/Melbourne – work that draws from celluloid archives. By splicing together the title frames from countless films his work presents a ‘mash-up’ that creates new sentences and meanings from movie titles. Haukeland’s application of cut-ups to moving image works dives deeper into an understanding of cinematic language. The 2025 Art Screen program has been devised by guest curator Madeleine Sherburn.
