Going where few exhibitions have gone before, this show is an imaginative collection of artworks that juxtapose rebellion with elegance, neon colours against moody pallets and unconformity with opulence.

Conscious Projections
Alison Bennett, Roberta Rich and Jonathan Homesey
Conscious Projections invites Melbournebased artists Alison Bennett, Roberta Rich and Jonathan Homesy to Maroondah to create an ambitious site-specific new-media project at ArtSpace at Realm. The striking architecture of Realm—interior and exterior surfaces—is used as the canvas where the artists experiment with new media technologies, performance, video and projection. Uniting the artists is a tendency to explore internal worlds of diverse spiritual, cultural and gender identities and to present these externally through video and projection work. In this way, conscious choices in personal self-expression are magnified into the public sphere—paving the way for dialogue within the community about diverse experiences of the self.

Still the Water Flows
Maroondah City Council Collection
Still the Water Flows is a selection of works from the Maroondah City Art Collection exploring how humans and nature are continuously ‘fluid’ and have the ability to adapt in times of turbulence, trauma and change. Since 2019 a constant stream of environmental and public health disasters—bushfires, floods and the Covid-19 Pandemic—has thrown obstacles and threats at the people and ecologies of Australia. These events have driven a need to resist, negotiate and move through a seemingly relentless sequence of obstructions and impacts on daily life. This exhibition responds to ideas and experiences of fluidity, change and adaptation as expressed in paintings, drawings and prints from the Maroondah City Art Collection.

Circleworks
Fulli Andrinopoulos, Julian Martin,
Linda Puna, Louise Bourgeois.
Curated by Trent Walter, Negative Press. uses the formal aesthetics of the hand-drawn or handmade circle as a departure point to explore artistic processes, perspectives, experiences and stories. The exhibition features artworks by Arts Project Australia artists Fulli Andrinopoulos and Julian Martin, alongside works by Mimili-based artist Linda Puna and Louise Bourgeios. Each artist has produced their artworks within specific contexts–culturally, geographically and materially–yet they connect aims to celebrate these relations while acknowledging cultural differences.
