Australian Light
Warrnambool Art Gallery Until 17 April 2022
Victoria
With a nod to the work of Arthur Streeton (1867–1943) – one of Australia’s best-known landscape painters and pioneer of capturing the unique and transient qualities of light in the Australian landscape on canvas – three women artists, Consuelo Cavaniglia, Taree Mackenzie, and Gemma Smith, respond with their interpretations of the South West Victorian landscape, across a range of contemporary mediums.
“Awash with colour, light becomes the mechanism by which each artist creates a space for chance encounters, perceptual shifts and illusions,” the gallery notes.
RADICAL SLOWNESS
The Lock Up Until 15 May 2022
New South Wales
The incessant cadence of our everyday gives way to a different, slower pace.
Curated by Anna May Kirk and Tai Mitsuji, this group exhibition grapples with the idea of radical slowness and what it means to break with the whirring pace of the present and the unabating velocity of our time: an ocean of digital water endlessly laps around the base of a stone; an alarm clock is caught in the half-seconds that follow midnight; two galaxies slowly hurtle towards one another destined to meet in four billion years.
