Arlo Mountford's 'Wedge for S/elective Viewing' features several of the hallmarks of the artist's practice: sculpture, animation, sound, and humour. In this work, the artist invites viewers to put their heads into the installation in order to fully experience the work. In doing so, Mountford's playful work makes the viewer aware of the dislocation between their head and body, and realise as they watch the work unfold that in this position they cannot easily walk away. This physical action serves to emphasise the themes explored in the animated component which is only visible for those who are adventurous enough to participate.

Head into the Gallery to experience this intriguing and innovative work on display now.

They say this mural is called "Growth." It was painted by an artist named Jason Wing, with the help of Goulburn youth. As a budding young talent in Goulburn myself, I think it’s exactly what I’m looking for!
My name is Rodney, which is the perfect name to scream out across a paddock, a dog park, or a work site. If you've ever met a Kelpie, you'll know we’re some of the sharpest tools in the shed (and some of the biggest sooks on wet days). Every day is another chance to learn something new, explore somewhere different, or work alongside someone I trust who can give me a little direction.
I'm only around 2 years old, so I've got plenty of spark and a whole career ahead of me – in fact, I’m a bit of a twinkle-toes and could give anyone a run for their money on the Coolavin Hotel dancefloor. Like any young apprentice, I'd love a home with plenty of action and opportunities to expand my skillset. Long walks along the Wollondilly, new tricks at the dog park, playing games in the yard with the little ones, or even having a job around the property will be great – and I’ll save you a fortune in caffeine. Give me purpose, consistency, and kindness, and I'll give you everything I've got.
I'm looking for a teammate. Someone who understands that dogs like me thrive when we're part of the pack.
If you're after a loyal pal to add to your entourage, visit my Pet Rescue Page or click the link in bio and Goulburn Mulwaree Animal Shelter Staff
Maybe my next job is being your best mate. 🖤🤎

Vale Vivienne Binns OAM
-
The Gallery is saddened to hear of the passing of tour-de-force artist Vivienne Binns (1940-2026). Binns was a pioneer of both feminist and community art practice, alongside being an advocate, educator, mentor and friend to many. She leaves an impactful and indelible legacy. Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this time.
-
The Gallery was fortunate to present Binns' work 'Particle Thought' in the 2023 exhibition 'Bright', displayed alongside the work of peers and friends. We were honoured to hear directly from Binns in a dynamic talk where she shared some of her infinite wisdom. She said of 'Particle Thought':
'This work represents the constant search to understand art and methods and processes used to make art. Sometimes the content and form of my practice has gone against commonly held beliefs about art practice and what the “true” artist does. It is made up of bits and pieces of wisdom from past experience, teachers and mentors, the influence of books read, discussions and arguments and work by others. This has been tested through experience, in isolation, through work and in community with others. Right from the beginning I’ve explored and sought insight and understanding by going backwards through the rules and regulations taught or that exist about how to make art. The prevailing impetus has been to understand what is and what it means to being human.'
