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 [...]

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. The exhibition is curated by Ngarrindjeri artist Tiarnie Edwards, whose practice explores identity, culture, history, [...]

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. Light 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 [...]

“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. With over thirty years of experience across Australasia, including a decade working in [...]

This exhibition brings together the artists of Iltja Ntjarra Many Hands Art Centre, Vanessa Inkamala, Kathy Inkamala, Dellina Inkamala and Raelene Inkamala (Western Arrernte), and Jordan Benson in a dialogue of tradition and innovation. Featuring artists from Iltja Ntjarra Many Hands Art Centre in Mparntwe (Alice Springs, NT), this exhibition celebrates the enduring watercolour legacy of Albert Namatjira alongside new works by Melbourne-based artist Jordan Benson, who [...]

Juno Gemes and Robert Adamson on the Hawkesbury River celebrates the powerful creative partnership of photographer Juno Gemes and poet Robert Adamson, whose intertwined practices reveal a shared artistic, intellectual, and activist life shaped by collaboration and place.

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. Drawing on distinct yet complementary practices, Rowe and Klum use material as a way of thinking through connection, fragility, adaptation, and survival. Rowe, [...]

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. Her intricate fields of mark-making are animated by recurring motifs – floral forms, delicate compositional arrangements, and text. Through intuitive layering and patterning, Longhurst [...]

The Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes delight and surprise audiences every year with fresh presentations of contemporary Australian painting and sculpture. At 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. [...]

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. For the [...]

Back in Five surveys twenty years of one of Aotearoa’s most bold and distinctive contemporary artists. Wayne 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 [...]

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 [...]
