'In(Two)Art' and 'Unveiled' exhibitions

With a new project beginning in the studio, these group exhibitions each include an older work of mine that has helped to pave its way. Both works have previously featured on this blog, particularly the latter, which in a cropped form also serves as blog title illustration. I hope you will make allowances for the repetition, which is mainly for the benefit of first-time visitors.

In(Two)Art has resumed its extensive tour. The exhibition features 30 artist couples, including my partner Shane Jones and myself. It opens at Goulburn Regional Gallery, NSW this evening, Thursday 24th January, at 6pm.

The exhibition continues until 28 February

Its next venue is Swan Hill Regional Gallery, where it will run from 21 March - 28 April.

Yesterday evening Shane and I attended the launch of Unveiled: Art from the Manningham, Maroondah and Whitehorse Artspace Collections at Manningham Art Gallery. Coincidentally, this exhibition, which opened exactly 24 hours earlier than In(Two)Art, also includes a work by each of us.

Pictured above is an installation view of my linocut Sister Act, 2000 which hangs alongside Cry, 2008, a linocut by Heather Shimmen.

The exhibition includes both contemporary and historical works from the galleries’ permanent collections, and shows across all three venues. 

Unveiled was curated by Megan McEvoy, Manningham Art Gallery, Wendy Garden, Maroondah Art Gallery and Jacquie Nichols-Reeves, Whitehorse Artspace.
