If Mother Killed Her Wife Will She Hang?

Mills & Morte - Dominique Hindmarsh & Susannah Thorne

18 Jan - 4 Feb 2012
Opening Thu 19 January, 6-8pm
Gallery One

In If Mother Killed Her Wife Will She Hang? Mills & Morte examine society’s love affair with sensation and gossip. Drawing from the 1920 trial of Eugenia Falleni, an installation of paintings and mixed media works raise questions about collective behaviour and pack mentality, prompting the viewer to reflect on how they manifest today. Inspired by Victorian freak show posters, early Australian circus imagery, contemporary department store displays and courtroom evidential exhibits, the work questions societal moral codes and which forms of ‘bad behaviour’ continue to be socially acceptable.

Timothy Kendall Edser

18 Jan - 4 Feb 2012
Opening Thu 19 January, 6-8pm
Gallery Two

Viewpoints brings together two areas of Timothy Kendall Edser’s artistic practice which are both centred on the human form and movement. The exhibition features a series of watercolours produced during Edser’s recent residency in Berlin and kinetic sculpture works produced upon his return to Australia. Edser’s detailed watercolour paintings, are a study into the movement of his extremities; both realistic and idealistic, and explore the notion of the space the body inhabits. His kinetic sculptures explore the repetition of movement and gesture that are seen in the human body both internally and externally. Edser demonstrates that through the repetition of one’s gestures a narrative can be formed.
