Eggert
A sculptural installation

30 June- 2 September 2007
"This work continues my investigations
into female identity, and the way that it can be structured by the dynamics
of looking. Controlling the gaze of onlookers is a vital function of covering
the body, but covering the face changes the nature of social interaction."

Tracelines [inScotland]
The exhibition tracelines
explores the potential of memory, narrative and process as strategies in
negotiating concepts of ‘place’ and ‘belonging’. The four Canberra based
artists all have migrant origins ranging from several generations of Australian-born
ancestry to relatively recent post Eastern-block experience. Tracelines
draws upon both common and differing aspects of the migrant experience.
Artists are Avi Amesbury,
Anita McIntyre, Anna Gianakis and Maiju Altpere-Woodhead

Dancing
with Shadows

Jan Hogan.
27 March - 7 April 2007
In the far back corner of
Gundaroo Common is a
stand of remnant forest.
In the shadows of these
trees a mark is made,the
shadow responds and the dance begins. The tree becomes a matrix and helps
to develop forms and images. The paper becomes a membrane over
the ground, responding to
the pressures from
above and below.

new sculptural glass work.
In what would be seen as
a new direction for Rea, this exhibtion will focus on the use of light
and its interaction with glass and the relationship of the object to gallery
architecture.As light passes through the translucent works,it absorbs and
transmitts colour to the walls,floor and ceiling of the gallery thus becoming
an extension of the work itself.
