Hyperglyphs
David Freney-Mills
David Freney-Mills new exhibition Hyperglyphs is inspired by the expressive possibilities of Eastern and Western writing systems and their origins in organic and built structures. Forms alluding to Korean, Chinese and Western scripts infuse his canvas-mounted ink-on-paper works. Titled collectively as Hyperglyphs, these highly saturated compositions reveal energetic articulations of glyphs and symbols.

Doubt (Again)
Lou Hubbard, Sanja Pahoki, Kiron Robinson and Lani Seligman
Doubt (Again) explores doubt as a speculative matter in the making of art. Seventeen years ago, Lou Hubbard, Sanja Pahoki, Kiron Robinson and Lani Seligman explored this idea in an exhibition titled Doubt in 2006. Over the years, these artists have developed a method of working together that responds directly to a gallery site, both in its physical and psychological dimensions, as well as to the proposed artworks. This involves the group meeting several times in the lead up to an exhibition to discuss and respond to the development of each other’s work. Formed through this ongoing dialogue, Doubt (Again) revisits this notion to present new works by each artist, across sculpture, photography and installation in the context of ArtSpace at Realm.

Dear Neighbour
Wendy Catling
Dear Neighbour is a photomedia project in which the artist Wendy Catling delves into suburban anxieties. It explores Catling’s perceptions of the suburban landscape, observations of the differing values expressed by her neighbours and feelings of alienation. She has captured images and collected texts to reveal the undercurrents evident in an outer suburb of Melbourne, Australia, during a time of rapid social and political change.
“Dear Neighbour is an account of the strangers who live around me. The neighbours I don’t yet know. The barriers between us. The barriers we erect. It is a rumination, and an enquiry. A visual and textual questioning of contemporary community.” – Wendy Catling, 2023.
13 November–12 January 2024
Drawing with Algorithms
Simon Greenan, Ilona Jetmar and Katie Lee
Drawing with Algorithms explores locality and connection to place by responding to archival photographs of the Ringwood area. Combining various rule-based procedures (or algorithms) with observational, subjective, and improvised drawing processes, the project becomes an unfolding creative experiment in the gallery; one that encourages co-creation, participation, and informal exchange between artists and gallery visitors.
