New exhibitions
Craft ACT isn't just looking ahead - it's active now with two new exhibitions on its website until June 27. A Common Thread is a multidisciplinary collaboration between Harriet McKay and Sam Gold, encompassing painting, installation and sculpture. The work is concerned with connection - connection to a material and in turn the way this connects us as humans. This exhibition seeks to explore how time and space inform the artist's behavior with material, and lament on the almost ritualistic process of repetitious acts during the creation process. Transference is a collaborative exhibition by artists Robyn Campbell (ACT) and Jo Victoria (NSW), who exchanged their knowledge of glass and porcelain through a supportive process of learning, teaching, experimentation and play. The exhibition expresses the artists' shared fascination with light and surface, and the potential of glass and porcelain to convey fragility and transience. craftact.org.au.
The Salon
The Salon is M16's first online group exhibition of images and is open to all media. You can submit high-quality images to exhibitions@m16artspace.com. Deadline is close of business on May 21 and the online show will be launched on May 28. It is a curated digital salon show and is for a single work that is ready to show as oppose to a body of work. The single submission will need to include name, title, year, materials, dimensions, retail price (includes 30 per cent gallery commission) and the image size should be at least 2MB. If the work sells the artist will need to wrap it and deliver it to M16.
