12 September – 21 October 2022
Exhibition Opening Wednesday 14th September 6 - 8pm
UNCOVERED: Northwood, Lloyd Rees and Beyond features an exciting and unexpected new discovery, a rare collection of life drawings by renowned Australian artist Lloyd Rees now held in the Macquarie University Art Collection. Shown to the public for the first time, the drawings pertain to the celebrated Northwood sketch club Rees attended every Thursday evening at the Santry’s house that was situated nearby.
Rediscovered in Rees’ Northwood studio in 2019, the drawings will be displayed alongside several unfinished paintings produced by Rees, John Santry, Helen Stewart and Roland Wakelin that capture the atmosphere and mood of the period. Also included will be a selection of paintings held in private collections by other Northwood group members that illustrate their relationship and connection to the locale, as well as the similarities and differences in their subjects and painterly styles.
In addition, contemporary artist Brendan Kelly has created a series of new works in response to the Northwood group. Kelly’s responses to site, places, buildings and topics frequented and favoured by these artists interweave a rich narrative ebbed with the tones and textures of history where the past meets the present.

Drawn by stones brings together artists who utilise the ceramic medium to interrogate contested histories, stolen land, Indigenous sovereignty, and national identity. Exhibiting artists from Australia, Hong Kong and Taiwan investigate ‘nationhood’ and ownership through ceramics and demonstrate how the ceramic form can both memorialise and tell alternative histories.
Drawn by stones is a travelling exhibition presented by Gallery Lane Cove in partnership with 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art. Curated by Bridie Moran with Assistant Curator Annette An-Jen Liu as part of the Curatorial Assistant Program mentorship (2020-2021) at 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art.

Development support for Drawn by stones has been provided by the Ministry of Culture Taiwan and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Sydney, and The Gordon Darling Foundation.

The Turning – whisper to the silent earth
tranSTURM
7 March – 2 April 2022
An immersive exhibition experience, the new installation showcases a suite of immersive audio-visual works that engage audiences in the most pressing issue of our time, our interdependence with the natural world. The Turning draws from the timeless Greek myth of Orpheus and the rich metaphors embodied in The Sonnets to Orpheus by Rainer Maria Rilke - a form of parable that explores wonder, fragility, love, conflict, and loss.
Through sound, animation, light, sculpture, poetry and video, The Turning reimagines the Lane Cove River and celebrates the presence of rivers in our lives and their impact felt at various physical, emotional, and subliminal levels.
This exhibition marks tranSTURM’s 10th anniversary – a decade of creating deeply immersive and site-specific installation artworks.
tranSTURM – Chris Bowman, Anita Kelly, Rachel Walls and Rachael Priddel with original sound composition by Roger Mills.

In bringing together diasporic artists from Australia and Singapore, Presence of Mind examines intersections of Buddhist lived experience and cultural differences. In its totality, the residency and exhibition project highlights the rich perspectives that spirituality can bring to art.
