Exhibitions and events: Upcoming

11 February to 20 March 2010

Opening 6pm Thursday 11 February and continuing until Saturday 20 March 2010.

Gallery 1: Flying Flings - Emily Valentine

Through the use of feathers combined with recognisable animal forms, Valentine creates hybrid objects that dissect and examine human attitudes towards animals and genetics. The ambiguity Valentine creates between form and texture challenges standard expectations of normality. This new body of work explores the cross pollination of animals with machines.

Gallery 2: Stack - Jonathan Baskett

Baskett exhibits his glassware, developed with Nouvel, stacked both on and into each other creating sculptural groupings. The work is an ongoing collaboration with Nouvel Glass Studio, Mexico, where Baskett has been recently appointed as Head of Research and Development.

Crucible Showcase: Made in Japan - Elizabeth Kelly

A body of work made as a result of Kelly's artist-in-residency at Seto International Ceramic and Glass Art Centre, Japan 2008. Kelly created a Small City of Glass inspired by the surrounding built and cultural environment. This is the first time the work has been exhibited in Australia.
