SUMMARY:Guns to Roses | from the Maitland Regional Art Gallery Collection
DESCRIPTION:Guns to Roses brings together artworks from the MRAG Collection\, and selected works on loan\, that illustrate how artists respond to the precariousness of our times; the fragility of life as impacted by war\, political unrest and climate change\, and the consciousness of our own mortality. Within this exhibition we find symbols of weaponry transformed into visually seductive motifs\, the daily news transformed into a ten metre long scroll and the beauty of our native flora used as a disguise to impart a much deeper message. The central element of this exhibition\, drawn from the MRAG Collection\, is the installation Gun no. 1\, that sees paper weapons transformed into vibrantly coloured rosettes. This work created by Chinese artist Li Hongbo reflects the Chinese saying that ‘life is as fragile as paper’.

SUMMARY:UNI: Waiting for Equality | Telling LGBTQI Stories about Marriage Equality in Newcastle and the Hunter\, 2004-2019
DESCRIPTION:The Current histories of LGBTQI people in Australia focus on Melbourne and Sydney. This project will be the first to focus on a regional LGBTQI community and how it connected with the wider Hunter Newcastle region to produce the largest percentage vote (75%) for marriage equality in the 2017 postal ballot outside the capital cities. The LGBTQI community is directly affected by shifts in thinking and the law in ways that have not yet been fully explored. Given the vulnerability of the LGBTQI community and its critical absence from traditional histories of the region\, this project will be the first to document the history of the LGBTQI movement in the Newcastle/Hunter region during the critical decade leading to marriage equality. \n  \nIn partnership with Newcastle Uni

SUMMARY:Helen Hopcroft: The Re-Enchantment
DESCRIPTION:If this exhibition has a theme\, it’s the idea of falling in love again\, whether this is with someone\, something\, an animal\, your body\, an activity you love doing or just your own life. The Re-Enchantment exhibition spans two floors of MRAG’s Art Factory exhibition space. Downstairs will be a giant cardboard box city\, which people can move around to build into the city of their dreams. Upstairs is a rather exotic reading room\, complete with a painted piano\, bookcase and chairs\, where you are welcome to sit and read.

SUMMARY:Safe Space Contemporary Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Safe Space Contemporary Sculpture brings together three-dimensional art works by twelve Australian artists that explore psychological aspects of physical space. It features a range of figurative elements and narrative themes with social\, and sometimes political\, resonances. Many of the works in this exhibition take as their point of departure: the human body\, its dimensions\, the spaces it occupies\, the narratives that contain it and the theatre or spectacle that unfolds around it. \nTouring exhibition from MGSQLD\nMore information here. \nEducation resource available here.

SUMMARY:Men in the Landscape and a Collection of Dogs | The Elliott Eyes Collection
DESCRIPTION:The Elliott Eyes Collection of contemporary art is usually housed in a private Victorian terrace house in Erskineville\, Sydney NSW. The ever-growing art collection\, currently numbered at about 300 works (sculpture\, painting and ceramics) focuses mainly on Australian and New Zealand art\, but also includes work by German\, Belgium\, American\, South African and English artists. Motivated by the realisation that once works become part of a private collection they can easily be ‘lost’ to public view\, the collectors Gordon Elliott and Michael Eyes believe that sharing the works in their collection is imperative to the work. For this exhibition the collectors have generously offered MRAG access to curate an exhibition specifically for Maitland from their entire art collection. The final exhibition will include art by Clara Adolphs\, Euan Macleod\, John Coburn\, Minnie Pwerle and as well Maitland’s own Todd Fuller & NELL.

SUMMARY:Chris Kunko | Thinking of an old friend
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition will explore the untold drama and fanfare that unfolds on ‘race day’. In the form of painting\, Kunko is witness to the interactions behind the scenes of jockeys through to horse owners and the pageant atmosphere of the fashions on the field events. From manicured gardens and grassy green turf like Bathurst and Dubbo to dirt bush tracks in the outback like Collarenebri and Enngonia\, Kunko sees people from all backgrounds who come together pitching their luck on the back of a horse and its rider – taking a punt and letting luck make its play.

SUMMARY:Field Work
DESCRIPTION:Fieldwork is an exhibition that will survey plein air painting (painting outdoors)west of Sydney between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The region\, which encompasses the Western Suburbs\, Blue Mountains\, and the Hawkesbury\, has been a popular artists destination since European settlement and its portrayal in landscape art of this period has made an important contribution to Australian art. Surprisingly\, this history and significance is often overlooked in displays or accounts of Australian art which are inclined toward other locations such Sydney’s harbour and coastlines or the artist’s camps near Melbourne at Box Hill and Heidelberg. \nTouring from Art Gallery of NSW

SUMMARY:Andrew Sullivan | Survey into the Cretaceous
DESCRIPTION:Survey into the Cretaceous is a journey into the painter’s imagination. The painter has imagined himself as being an assigned artist with a team of paleontologists\, scientists and geographers on a survey expedition into the late Cretaceous period. His brief is to record the fauna and express the experience through an artist’s eye. A broad cross-section of species is represented\, some now extinct\, some still extant today. Boundaries of reality are not of relevance\, barriers between disciplines blurred\, this is an act of imagination. The work presented being the product of the journey\, tangible evidence of an impossible story.\nThe analogy of the journey is paramount. As with each individual’s human journey\, it is a journey of struggle\, learning\, growth and ultimately evolution and perhaps\, transcendence. \n  \nTouring from Galerie pompom
