Location: School of Art, Foyer Gallery

The rhythms of poetry, narrative-based construction and oblique autobiography (the literary word) – labours to distort the visual grammar of our ordinary lives.

This exhibition draws from public and private collections to present Australian art/TEXT spanning near 40 years. This work demands to be both-neither seen and-nor read.

A double-imaged, duplicitous sphere: the order of words || the order of things

Here, every-thing-is-some-thing. And so, to know its use, it may be distanced, detached, ironically turned over, and made to feel cold – like concrete.
