Horizons
6 jun. — 23 aug. 2025
Gemma Brown, Rowan Conroy, Marian Drew, Lizzie Hall, Bianca Hester, Janet Laurence, Guido Maestri, Mandy Quadrio, Isadora Vaughan
Horizons explores connections between the body, the natural world and the built environment. The term horizons can indicate limitlessness, opportunity and optimism, or, conversely, be seen as a perceived barrier, feared sense of the unknown, or a warning sign. The exhibition embraces the breadth of these interpretations, looking at the ways we desire to draw close to the environment while also acknowledging the constructed physical, digital and mental barriers created between humankind and the landscape.
The idea of horizons as moments of precipice, meeting, or confrontation with the more-than-human worlds is investigated through the diverse and innovative practices of leading Australian artists living and working across Australia. The exhibition presents works by artists Gemma Brown, Rowan Conroy, Marian Drew, Lizzie Hall, Bianca Hester, Janet Laurence, Guido Maestri, Mandy Quadrio and Isadora Vaughan. Horizons features a dynamic range of media including ceramics, audio-visual works, photography, painting and installations. The impactful works featured in Horizons will look at human intervention in the natural world in order to consider historic moments of destruction, contend with our present, and posit possible futures.
