CLIMATE CHANGE

Opening night 1st February 2012

In the first exhibition of its kind, nine of Australia's leading artists will take on the role of problem solvers in the highly anticipated show, Climate Change, which will explore the power of art to cut through political dialogue and scientific debate.

The exhibition will feature large scale works by John Olsen, Daniel Smith, Deborah Walker, John Forrest, E.L.K., JKB Fletcher, Michael Peck, Stormie Mills, Ben Howe and Vincent Fantauzzo. Their creative process was filmed over several months as part of a long term documentary by award winning film maker Alan Woodruff and Deakin University Professor, Ann McCulloch. The documentary will be previewed at Metro Gallery before its international screening in New York and a tour of regional Australian in late 2012.

Exploring Transience - Locating Meaning within the Urban Crowd.

The exhibition will open this Tuesday (15 nov)

This selection of oil paintings focuses on pedestrian movement within the urban environment, highlighting micro narratives within the flux of everyday passage. While speaking of the anonymity and strangeness of the city, they reflect issues of intimacy and separation, the borders of the individual and instigate a perspective of the self in relation to the multitude.

OPENING: Tuesday 15 November. 530 – 730pm
Runs from 15 November to 27 November
