Arriving at the street address of the Lismore Regional Gallery, I am met by a carpark at what feels like the building’s back door. A low-slung agricultural roof is festooned with solar panels, while underneath it a couple of people move through a yoga routine, undisturbed by my presence. On approaching the entry, however, I am given a clear axial view through the building, which suggests a public path that connects to a grassed quadrangle beyond and is a clue that all is not what it
