SUMMARY:Suzie Idiens: Basel Series
DESCRIPTION:Void_Melbourne presents Basel Series\, the second solo exhibition by Sydney-based artist Suzie Idiens. Originating from a set of small sketches made after visiting the Kunstmuseum Basel\, the works pursue a precise idea: investigations into the formal consequences of a single intervention of a geometric form. One corner removed. A slice\, a soft incision\, cutting away at the edge. Each painting pursues this idea with precision and conviction: a dominant field of thinly veiled colour\, held against a restrained incursion of a second colour at the margin. The exacting line where the two colours meet marks a clear delineation of territory on the canvas. Paint continues around the exposed cotton canvas edges\, the work asserting itself as an object as much as an image.

SUMMARY:APYACC: New Ground
DESCRIPTION:New Ground brings together emerging First Nations artists connected to the APY Lands\, regional South Australia\, and Adelaide\, presenting a diverse range of contemporary practices across painting\, ceramics\, sculpture\, and mixed media. The exhibition highlights artists working within community art centres while expanding the material and conceptual boundaries of art centre practice today. \nThe exhibition is curated by Ngarrindjeri artist Tiarnie Edwards\, whose practice explores identity\, culture\, history\, and contemporary Aboriginal experience through storytelling and material engagement.

SUMMARY:Cobi Cockburn: Primary Lines
DESCRIPTION:Cobi Cockburn’s solo exhibition Primary Lines considers light as material\, reducing the visual language to two elemental forces: light and line. Shaped through encounter\, the works unfold as perceptual fields rather than fixed objects. \nLight operates as an active agent – revealing and erasing in equal measure – producing fleeting moments of clarity while dissolving stable form. Line\, traditionally a marker of direction and boundary\, becomes contingent\, shifting with light and the viewer’s position. Together\, they generate spatial conditions that resist resolution\, where meaning is not prescribed but discovered through experience.

SUMMARY:Jo Darvall: Changing States
DESCRIPTION:“Changing States builds on ideas developed during my 2024 Edith Cowan University and Western Australian Parliament Artist in Residence program\, as well as my recent group exhibition Paper Thin\, Skin Deep at Mundaring Arts Centre 2026 curated by Annette Peterson. The work explores what it means to inhabit a body—through material\, metaphorical\, and cultural layers of skin. \nWith over thirty years of experience across Australasia\, including a decade working in Singapore\, my practice examines my relationship to place within the Western Australian landscape. Originally from Melbourne\, where I studied at the Victorian College of the Arts and majored in Printmaking\, this exhibition marks a full-circle return—bringing together the journeys and experiences that have shaped my work internationally.” \n– Jo Darvall\, 2026

SUMMARY:Jenn Rowe and Jaimie Klum: Where Matter Breathes
DESCRIPTION:Where Matter Breathes brings together artists Jenn Rowe and Jaimie Klum in a powerful exploration of body\, land\, material\, and spirit. Through sculpture\, installation\, photography\, and wall-based works\, the exhibition traces how both inner and outer worlds are formed\, transformed\, and made visible through matter. \nDrawing on distinct yet complementary practices\, Rowe and Klum use material as a way of thinking through connection\, fragility\, adaptation\, and survival. Rowe\, informed by her Trawlwoolway heritage and deep relationship to Country\, works with found and reclaimed natural materials – driftwood\, shells\, feathers\, bones\, and reeds – to create sculptural forms that evoke ecological and spiritual interconnection. Klum responds through industrial and synthetic materials\, shaping abstract forms that give expression to psychological and embodied states that are often felt but unseen. \nTogether\, their works create a dialogue between landscape and psyche\, nature and self. Across the exhibition\, material becomes alive with memory\, tension\, and transformation – inviting viewers to consider how we are shaped by what we hold\, lose\, and become.

SUMMARY:Fiona Longhurst: 5 7 3 Float Fall Petals 10 Trees
DESCRIPTION:For over three decades\, Fiona Longhurst has cultivated a distinctive visual language grounded in pattern\, repetition\, and colour. A longstanding artist in the Arts Project Australia (APA) studio since 1991\, her practice has evolved with quiet persistence\, producing a compelling body of work. \nHer intricate fields of mark-making are animated by recurring motifs – floral forms\, delicate compositional arrangements\, and text. Through intuitive layering and patterning\, Longhurst builds a personal visual lexicon. \nThis exhibition celebrates Longhurst’s enduring contribution to the APA studio and the broader contemporary art landscape\, offering insight into an artist whose evolving practice is defined by tenderness\, a nuanced use of colour\, and a quietly compelling sense of introspection. \nCurated by Jo Salt.

SUMMARY:Archibald\, Wynne and Sulman Prizes 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Archibald\, Wynne and Sulman Prizes delight and surprise audiences every year with fresh presentations of contemporary Australian painting and sculpture. \nAt its heart\, the Archibald Prize is about storytelling. Who are the people our artists have chosen to paint and what do their portraits reveal to us? In this exhibition\, Australian and New Zealand artists use portraiture to share the beauty and complexity of our times. \nThe Wynne Prize celebrates two major categories of art: Australian landscape painting and figurative sculpture. Diverse representations of our country appear alongside the variety and ingenuity of contemporary sculpture. The Sulman Prize is for subject painting\, genre painting or a mural project. \nEach year\, the trustees of the Art Gallery of New South Wales judge the Archibald and Wynne Prizes and invite a guest artist to judge the Sulman. In 2026 the Sulman will be judged by renowned artist Del Kathryn Barton. \nThis must-see annual exhibition of finalists and winners has become a fixture in our artistic calendar. A single ticket gives you access to see all three of these prestigious awards. \nHave your say by voting for your favourite portrait in the ANZ People’s Choice award for the chance to win $2000. \nDon’t miss Young Archie\, a free display in the Kaldor Hall on the ground level\, showcasing art by the next generation of artists\, aged 5 to 18. Plus\, grab a free self-guided children’s trail in the Archibald\, Wynne and Sulman Prizes 2026 exhibition.

SUMMARY:Little Orange Studio x AGNSW: Pet Palace
DESCRIPTION:Presented alongside the Archibald\, Wynne and Sulman Prizes 2026 at the Art Gallery of NSW\, this salon-style wall features portraits of a different kind\, not of people\, but of other beings deserving of our affection – beloved pets\, spirit guides and creature friends. Created by the artists of Little Orange Studio in Campbelltown\, Pet Palace is a celebration of the unbreakable bonds (and knowing looks) between people and animals. \nFor the Little Orange Studio artists – and for many of us – these relationships are a source of daily care\, companionship and reciprocal support. The mural includes distinguished portraits of pets who have crossed the rainbow bridge\, eldritch beings and animals in everyday life. Campbelltown’s parks and rivers appear as meeting places for dogs and ducks alike. \nFramed by the Grand Courts’ classical archways and set against a painted backdrop of sea and garden-inspired shapes\, Pet Palace is both a playful twist on historical portrait displays and a characterful homage to all those who guide\, comfort and walk beside us.

SUMMARY:Ans Westra: Jeetje
DESCRIPTION:Jeetje is an invitation to re-examine the work of Ans Westra (1936–2023)\, one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most significant documentary photographers. Jeetje [pronounced YAY-chuh] is a Dutch expression of surprise — and\, in this case\, delight. It sets the tone for this selection drawn from Westra’s vast archive of funny\, tender\, and poignant photographs spanning the 1960s to the 1980s. From poetry readings in graveyards to spirited street protests\, from competitive dog shows to karate kids on skates\, these are scenes that feel as though they could have been captured yesterday. \nThe Dowse Art Museum shared a longstanding relationship with Westra\, from staging her first retrospective in 1972 to hosting her as an artist in residence. Jeetje extends this relationship\, revealing a side of Westra’s practice seldom seen by the public. Thanks to {Suite} Tirohanga and the Westra Estate.

SUMMARY:Wayne Youle: Back in Five
DESCRIPTION:Back in Five surveys twenty years of one of Aotearoa’s most bold and distinctive contemporary artists. \nWayne Youle’s sculptural practice charts the passage of time not just as a theme but as a material that shapes\, stretches\, and reframes meaning. With his trademark playfulness and wit and working across a broad range of media\, schoolboy pranks meet sharp cultural critique. Youle tackles big ideas—masculinity\, fatherhood\, colonial legacy\, and bicultural identity—while drawing on the humour and irreverence of his younger self. \nDeveloped in partnership with The Suter Art Gallery Te Aratoi o Whakatū.

SUMMARY:Alberto Garcia-Alvarez: Nothing is Finished While I Am
DESCRIPTION:In the current issue of recently relaunched Art News magazine\, writer Dina Jezdic observes that “to write a preview of [Alberto Garcia-Alvarez’s] show is to confront the particularity of a practice that rejects the very idea of the preview. \nNo new body of work finished in preparation for exhibition. No theme declared in advance. Only this: 50 years in the same studio\, sunk into the slope of a garden\, light flooding in from high windows – and the continuous act of making that happens inside it.” \n“All my life is here”\, 98-year-old Alberto says\, when she asks about the way a work from the 1970s might appear alongside something made last week. \n“He means it structurally”\, Jezdic explains. \n“The experience of a life does not divide itself into periods\, does not respect the historian’s desire for chronology\, the collector’s desire for series\, the critic’s desire for development. A canvas begun in one decade may be taken up again in another because the thinking it holds has returned – changed\, deepened\, made strange by distance.”

SUMMARY:Jasper Knight: collage\, prints and works on paper
DESCRIPTION:Jasper Knight: collage\, prints and works on paper celebrates over twenty years of artmaking using paper-based methods of image making. Jasper\, who grew up close to Mosman Art Gallery on Sydney’s North Shore\, has long documented local landscapes. He came to prominence with his use of found materials and enamel house paint\, imbuing his landscapes with industrial aesthetics. Deeper looking at these works reveals an affection and reverence for these scenes\, often documented as surety against rapid regentrification.

SUMMARY:Shireen Taweel: the trig point
DESCRIPTION:the trig point is an imagining of local sacred architecture and of embodied space\, a work of speculation\, participation\, and a vision of future making. Celestial and terrestrial spectral forms shimmer in their magnitude\, transitioning in space and time. Skeletal geometry draped in silk orbits Alpha Centauri A; the trig point is a house of seven circles\, filled with reverence for environment and perception of place\, and a sonic performance of celestial navigation\, migration and faith. \nThis project is supported by Creative Australia’s Visual Arts and Crafts Strategy (VACS) Major Commissioning Projects fund. the trig point is an iterative exhibition presented with pacing seven circles at Gertrude Contemporary (2026) and Dunedin Public Art Gallery (2027).

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Day: The Fragility of Goodness: The Prison on the Landscape and Other Stories
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Day’s survey exhibition at BRAG examines the legacy of Empire and the colonisation of Australia and its First Nations peoples. The exhibition focuses on the lasting impact of colonial prison systems and how these institutions reshaped both landscape and society. \nThe project connects closely to Bathurst’s history as part of a network of colonial prison towns established west of the Blue Mountains. Day has explored these themes in earlier works: in 2023\, she presented The Flow of Form: There’s a Reason Beyond a Reason. Beyond That There’s a Reason (1797 Parramatta Gaol) at The National 4 at Carriageworks\, Redfern. This large-scale textile installation was made from unravelled second-hand garments and referenced early colonial prison architecture. Through the slow process of unravelling fabric\, the work suggested the possibility of undoing the prison’s imprint on the landscape. \nElizabeth Day’s survey exhibition at BRAG examines the legacy of Empire and the colonisation of Australia and its First Nations peoples.

The exhibition considers how the histories of colonial prisons continue to shape contemporary Australia. Day draws connections between historical penal sites including Parramatta and Tasmania\, engaging with ideas of layered colonial\, geographical and social histories. Her practice is informed by both historical research and personal experience within institutional systems. \nA key work in the exhibition\, The Law Is Not Always Just\, forms part of a new series of grass-grown texts mapping prisons across the Central West. This floor installation sits among several significant works including There’s a Reason Beyond a Reason\, Notes on the Castle\, the sculptural recreation of Bathurst Gaol’s Lion Gate\, Invisible Words Invisible Worlds\, and the collaborative community project MYCO LOGIC. \nTogether\, this exhibition invites reflection on systems of justice\, power and repair.

SUMMARY:Group Exhibition: My Blood Sings Old Songs
DESCRIPTION:‘Some memory cannot be documented. Some memory lives in the body.’\n— Dr Natalie Harkin\, Archival-Poetics (Vagabond Press\, 2019) \nMy Blood Sings Old Songs gathers artists who capture what is not always said—but deeply felt. The works in this exhibition resonate over time\, unraveling layers of the body and the quiet weight of being seen\, where movement becomes a vessel for remembrance. \nHovering between an ending and a beginning\, each gesture holds the knowledge that there’s a certain sadness of memories that cannot be shared with those who were never there. Yet what ties us together is a shared understanding that ripples across cultures and communities\, through performance and the spaces between what is known and shadowed. \nThrough new commissions and existing works\, artists Atong Atem\, Leyla Stevens\, Jahkarli Felicitas Romanis (Pitta Pitta)\, Jenna Lee (Gulumerridjin (Larrakia)\, Wardaman\, and KarraJarri)\, Sonja Hodge (Lardil)\, wani toaishara\, and Tracey Moffatt\, consider how memory is embodied and passed on to honour echoes of legacy\, entangled with grief and joy\, and cultural storytelling unfolds in gestures and resonance—held within our bloodlines. \nCurated by Maya Hodge.

SUMMARY:Alfred Lowe: A GREAT AND WONDROUS SIGN
DESCRIPTION:We all have an instinct to seek guidance and ask questions of the future\, especially during periods of uncertainty. Throughout history\, people have looked upward\, outward\, and inward for signs of what lies ahead. A GREAT AND WONDROUS SIGN inhabits that same space of questioning. Searching for answers and holding tension between hope and apprehension\, faith and doubt. \nThis is mirrored in materiality\, combining the longevity and certainty of clay with the ephemeral freedom of raffia. These materials work in tandem to create works that stand confidently together while having an individual flare. \nWe are all searching for signals of the future\, forever looking up to the stars.

Extending on his practice of world building\, Booth has created a library of stamps which reshape\, move and rearrange with each print and reconfiguration. About this new body of work\, he shares: “I’ve been building a new practice of play and experimentation in the studio; twisting the dials\, changing the filters and volumes on different things\, practicing turning away from ideas of scarcity and focusing on abundance.”

SUMMARY:Kerry McInnis & Mike MacGregor: Of Ravens and Rivers
DESCRIPTION:Kerry McInnis has been painting and drawing the River for many decades. The focus of her renditions of a waterway\, wet or dry\, has always been to represent the interconnectedness between the river and the earth that shapes it – to investigate the rhythms of liquid and solid form\, to layer in paint the inconstancy of the river in both its power and vulnerability. Moving away from direct representation\, Kerry’s recent work explores the idea of the river as a conduit of life\, a metaphor of survival. \nMike MacGregor’s sculptural oeuvre has had\, as its primary theme\, the interaction of man and nature. In his recent work\, Mike has juxtaposed the forms of Man and the Raven\, illustrating what is\, between the two\, a remarkable connection\, both physical and spiritual. In this exhibition\, Mike’s drawings and sculptures take a deeper look into the Raven’s being. Years of observation of the movements\, antics\, and posture of this bird will become the reference material for this sculptor’s work at the forge.

SUMMARY:Barbara Dawson: Becoming Now
DESCRIPTION:Barbara Dawson’s work is a contemplation of senescence — ageing seen not as decline\, but as a layered experience shaped by growth\, memory\, and renewal. Using the life cycles of plants as metaphor\, she explores the human journey: its fragility\, quiet strength\, and continual transformation. These works trace the parallel landscapes of inner and outer worlds\, finding beauty in both blossoming and fading\, in change\, endurance\, and lived experience. \nThis body of work includes large charcoal drawings of plant forms\, embellished with stitched lines and suspended threads\, alongside A3 stitched photographs on silk. Some capture the soft radiance of full bloom; others\, the quiet grace of wilting forms. Textile hangings created with rice paper\, reclaimed fabrics\, printing\, and hand stitching extend these themes—exploring senescence\, regeneration\, and the emotional textures of time. \nWorking within a limited colour palette\, Dawson explores subtle tonal shifts that evoke both quietude and richness. Through layering\, drawing\, and stitching\, she seeks to express the tactile and emotional fabric of a life deeply felt and continually renewed. \nBecoming Now suggests that ageing is not an ending\, but an ongoing state of becoming — presence shaped by time\, holding both what has passed and what is still possible.

SUMMARY:Brian Hincksman: Abstract Connotations
DESCRIPTION:In Abstract Connotations\, Hincksman explores human nature and our interactions with the natural environment.\, in the face of rapid changes due to the advancement of technology and social change. \nHicksman’s practice allows the simplicity of everyday thoughts and experiences to inspire the paintings. The process can be quite dynamic between contemplation and the use of colour\, form and tone\, along with the fluidity of paint with various forms of mark making. \nThe intent of the exhibition is to inspire respect for our common humanity and further explore our capacity to relate to one another. Secondly\, to explore the beauty and the power of our natural environment. Hicksman’s vivid canvasses imagine ways of living harmoniously with each other\, amongst our own creations\, in the awe-inspiring natural environment we inhabit.

SUMMARY:Steve Roper: Works
DESCRIPTION:Focussing on line rather than tone\, this exhibition features drawings on paper in a variety of media including pencil\, crayons\, ink\, and watercolour. These are not necessarily drawings of things; they are abstract works but may evoke subjects. As clay dries\, it hardens\, and each stage creates a different engagement with the drawing process. \nRoper says\, “Line drawing has been much on my mind of late as it is likely to be affected by Parkinson’s\, which I have had for some time. It’s a shrinking condition. You keep making smaller movements\, but they look perfectly fine to you. \nIn painting\, line gives way to masses of colour. At school\, I was drawn to Matisse’s colour and De Kooning’s techniques. There is a directness that I find very appealing. My take on that is to build up layers of colour and line. Of course\, if you keep building up lines\, they start to disintegrate into shapes. \nFor me\, the appeal of abstract art\, when it works\, is that it gives anyone the opportunity to experience it and work out what they make of it.”

SUMMARY:Kate Shaw: Divine Matrix
DESCRIPTION:In her latest exhibition\, Divine Matrix at Olsen Gallery (Sydney)\, Shaw expands her vision beyond landscape to articulate a concept rooted in unity and interconnection. The divine matrix — a metaphor for the unseen forces that connect all life — pulsates through her compositions\, expressing how nature’s patterns\, rhythms\, and energies mirror our own inner landscapes. Through luminous surfaces and swirling forms\, Shaw’s work gestures toward the sacred interconnectedness of ecosystems and the profound beauty that emerges when we recognise ourselves as part of a living\, evolving whole.
