We are incredibly proud to welcome acclaimed contemporary Aboriginal artist Curtis Taylor to our gallery. Working across mixed media, Taylor shares deeply personal stories, cultural knowledge and lived experiences using art as a powerful form of expression, reflection and truth-telling.

His striking sculptures of dogs pay homage to camp dogs from remote communities, while his broader practice explores identity, perception and experiences of racism, offering a powerful insight into contemporary Aboriginal life.

Beyond the gallery, Taylor is also an award-winning filmmaker whose work has been presented at international film festivals.

Having an artist of this calibre exhibiting in our space is truly special and we are honoured to share this experience with you.

Notice to Visitors: Some artwork in this exhibition includes loose materials on the floor. Please watch your step as you move through the space.

Content Warning** Please note that artwork may contain sensitive themes some parents/caregivers may consider unsuitable for young audiences.

Twelve artists from the suburbs use their unique imaginings to express the feelings that arise from their situation and existence.

Through diverse visual concepts and both traditional and experimental mediums, this body of work invites audiences to engage with suburbia in layered and unexpected ways.

From early settlements built around survival to today’s complex lifestyle choices, suburbia carries its own language of parks, coastlines, bushland, isolation and community. As reflected in David Lynch: The Art Life, houses hold unseen stories behind lit or darkened windows. We may choose where we live, but do these sub urban undercurrents ultimately shape who we become?
