Exhibition #9: New art from Bali and Bandung
When people think of contemporary Indonesian art, the location that comes to mind is Yogyakarta. Home to the art school Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI), Jogja is famous as ‘a city of artists’. But Indonesia has other equally fascinating art scenes. Bandung for example, a large city east of Jakarta, is home to the other major art school ITB and many of its graduates. ITB started in the mid 1950s with an interest in new and conceptual idea, as opposed to ISI, which had a focus on Indonesian art and culture. For decades the two schools competed, and their different philosophies could be seen in their graduates’ work. From Bandung, this exhibition features sculptor/painter Maharani Mancanagara, photographer Meicy Sitorus and video artist Eldwin Pradipta.

Mark Ryan
This solo exhibition is a culmination of culmination of Mark Ryan’s first phase PhD investigations into the themes of power, property and impermanent ownership: ’What once was yours, is now mine’ and vice versa. Furthermore, what was once no-one’s can become anyone’s. And all rights can be obliterated by aggression, obsolesce or the passage of time. From large low-relief wall sculptures to multi-piece constellations, the works on view are rendered in a colour palette and materials which appropriate the tones and textures of examined environmental resources.
Opening Friday 18 March, 6pm–8pm.

Persian Graffiti
Shokufeh Kavani and Arash Nedaiee.
This exhibition is a combination of traditional Persian calligraphy and modern Iranian abstract painting by Shokufeh Kavani and Arash Nedaiee. Persian Graffiti is a manifestation of Persian art and culture throughout history - from Persia to Iran. Through the use of traditional Persian calligraphy, this exhibition showcases two different styles of Persian art. Their work defies the Persian art canon by showing both the differences and similarities in a divided society of modern Iran.
6 April—24 April
Beauty of Reflection
Luce Lopez, Khing Sin McCotter, Eva
Molnar and Vladimir Pavlovic.
This is an exhibition of a diverse and vibrant collection of artworks which explore the ‘beauty of reflection’. These artists work across painting, pastel, printmaking, ceramic and mixed media to create tranquil and moody landscapes, sensual ceramics and a collection of traditional and abstract artwork. It is the nature of artists to observe beauty in the environment and within their personal experiences, but it is their ability to reflect on this beauty that allows their work to transform the experience into growth.
27 April—29 May
Human in the Wire
Tully Arnot, Tristan Chant, Gary Deirmendjian, Susannah Langley (with Warren Armstrong), Trinity Morris and Sean Costello, Saffron Newey, Adam Norton, Miguel Olmo, Baden Pailthorpe, Tyler Payne and Giselle Stanborough.
This Willoughby City Council curated exhibition contemplates the technologisation of the human. It explores the notion of how technology is embedded within ‘the human’. It looks at the aspects of the body and personal identity and how these aspects may activate technology, be absorbed by it, or subsumed within it. Including immersive augmented reality installations, virtual reality, video art, sculptural installations, ephemeral art and technology based two-dimensional works, this exhibition explores art within the technological realm in a multitude of ways.
