The Enchanted Forest – New Gothic Storytellers

1 May – 7 June

A Geelong Gallery and NETS Victoria touring exhibition

Six of Australia's most respected contemporary artists evoke a mesmerising woodland with intersecting storylines possessing both the charm and the implied menace of a Grimm's fairytale. The enchanted forest: new gothic storytellers revisits a time when animals and trees were thought to speak, when man was at the mercy of the forest, and the boundary between civilisation and the wilderness was less clearly defined. Includes works by Jazmina Cininas, Deborah Klein, Milan Milojevic, James Morrison, Louise Weaver and Louiseann Zahra-King.

This exhibition is supported by the Victorian Government through Arts Victoria and the Community Support Fund. Indemnification for this exhibition is provided by the Victorian Government.

 

Next Wave – Come on the Scene

12 June – 19 July

A Next Wave and NETS Victoria touring exhibition

Come on the Scene presents the work of five young regionally-based contemporary artists who transform the communities around them through their creative practices.

Each artist’s work fuses innovative methodologies and processes with a grass-roots connection to the people and communities which characterise their town or regional centre.

This next generation of artists use new mediums such as installation, video and performance, alongside more traditional artistic techniques including printmaking and textiles to tell stories about gender, family relationships, mythology and identity.

These dynamic works provide a fresh perspective on regional Australia and the role of art in fostering a new sense of community and connectedness.

Artists: Ellen Coyle Trevor Flinn; Carly Preston; Roderick Sprigg; and Pip Stafford.
