James Tylor: Turrangka...in the shadows
A UNSW Galleries Touring exhibition. Curated by Leigh Robb

Turrangka...in the shadows brings together a decade of practice by acclaimed multidisciplinary artist James Tylor. Tylor’s practice unpacks the histories of colonisation and its profound impact on Indigenous cultures as informed by his heritage comprising Nunga (Kaurna Miyurna), Māori (Te Arawa) and European (English, Scottish, Irish, Dutch and Norwegian) ancestry.

His expansive practice combines historical and contemporary photographic processes, exploring the complexities of cultural identity and relationships to place, in particular to the Kaurna Country of South Australia.

New Wave 25

New Wave 25 showcases the works of VCE and VCE VET art, visual art, media arts, fashion, design and technology students within the Mornington Peninsula Shire. The exhibition includes paintings, drawings, photography, ceramics, installation and more by a new generation of young artists. The show offers students the opportunity to participate in a group exhibition in a public gallery and serves as inspiration for other senior students to see the work and ideas of local students in a gallery setting.

Bruce Nauman - National Gallery of Australia, Sharing the Collection.
