After many years in Thirroul, our friends at Egg & Dart are joining the hustle and bustle of an invigorated Wollongong with a new location in Keira Street. The inaugrual exhibition for this new space, "Now Showing,” opens tonight.

Our warm congratulations to the team, and to the artists involved in this exciting move 🎉

"Created with warmth emanating from both heart and hand, these softly emotive works layer states of feeling and of being-in-relation on top of each other, like delicate gauze.”

On our website tonight, we take a look at Lauren O’Connor’s current exhibition at Arthouse Gallery, Eating Wild Honey. Head to the 🔗 link in bio to read more about O’Connor’s travels and practice of painting en plein air, the treatment of landscape as a sensory sensibility in her work, and the role of the studio for this peripatetic artist.

"O’Callaghan’s project, I think, is not to ‘explain’ the expertise of the people she works with: earth scientists, geographers, anthropologists, and the figures in performance studies she’s inspired by, like Richard Schechner. I get the sense that she understands herself as not primarily a figure of authority in these disciplines, but rather somebody who can ask new questions, and feel newly, about the discoveries made and shared by her collaborators – an expert in feeling, perhaps, and in the embodiment of knowledge and non-knowledge.”

Tonight on our website, we review Mel O’Callaghan’s “All is Life,” currently showing at Sydney’s Carriageworks. Exploring the porous interface between life and non-life, the transmission of ideas, feelings, and bodily states of being, and our deep desire to connect, the exhibition taps into a strand of O’Callagan’s practice which has always been present, but not often brought to the fore.

"As I walked around the exhibition for the third or fourth time, one of the gallery managers came across to tell me that Frank had just phoned in to say he wanted Lou Reed’s Transformer played continually on a loop for the remainder of the show. His experimentation never stops. I had viewed the works in silence. But I had my noise cancelling headphones with me, and Transformer was on my iPhone. I made a final tour of the show listening to It’s Such a Perfect Day. Which it was.”

Wrap up your weekend reading with Peter Hill’s review of Dale Frank’s fortieth exhibition with Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery, “this is a flotation device, this is not a lifesaving device.” Hill, who first encountered Frank’s work when judging the Geelong Art Prize in the 1990s, reflects on the place of painting in Frank’s creative practice as a whole, his relationship with his gallery, and what motivates this self-described “neuro-diverse and socially phobic hermit.”

"It was assuring to see Tony Burke present at the opening of Adolescent Wonderland, giving a speech emphasising a ‘First Nations first’ strategy in arts policy. Hobson’s work is an electric example of First Nations excellence, and of the importance of elevating the voices of an emerging generation of young people in and beyond the arts.”

On our website tonight, we share a review of Naomi Hobson’s Adolescent Wonderland – the vibrant, joyful, and immersive third iteration of this body of photographic work. On show now at Sydney’s Cement Fondu, the show opened just as Hobson’s solo painting exhibition, Grounded in Nature, was wrapping up down the street at Arthouse Gallery.

"Perhaps it is this microscopic focus (and incidentally one that is shared by the gardener) – patience, sensitivity to detail, light, the minutiae of colour – that have imbued Drysdale’s latest series with their best qualities.”

Exclusive to our digital platform, Aimee Dodds explores Pippin Drysdale’s exhibition with Australian Galleries, Melbourne: The Patterning of Light. While the show is open for the rest of this week, head to the 🔗 link in bio to read Dodds’s reflections on Drysdale’s attentiveness to her natural environment, her work with master thrower Warrick Palmateer, and the beautiful iridescence of her ceramic pieces.
