Last days | Sandra Kaji O'Grady: 'Boding', closing 24 May.

Don't miss your chance to see 'Boding' by local artist Sandra Kaji O'Grady. Sandra has a background in architecture and philosophy that is borne out in both conceptual rigour and precision of ex*****on. In this exhibition, she focuses on the communication and monitoring of risk and danger that extends from the banal trip hazard through to existential catastrophe. Featuring collage, digital printmaking, installation and illusionistic painting, 'Boding' uses humour and recognisable forms to navigate a world shaped by risk and uncertainty.

The HIV Art of Eric Avery - a lecture for HIV Testing Week | Thursday, 4 June, 5 - 6pm

Please join us for a lecture on Eric Avery, an important HIV artist, presented by ACON Community Health Promotion Officer, Ivan Crozier, in conjunction with HIV Testing Week.

Eric Avery has artwork in many public collections in the USA, the British Museum and the Wellcome Collection in the UK. This lecture covers Avery’s work with his psychiatric patients, showing how he used art in his medical practice. It looks at his politicisation of HIV, his use of gallery spaces for HIV health promotion, his portraits of HIV patients, HIV destigmatization, encouraging HIV testing, etc. Original prints from Ivan's collection will be on display at the gallery.

This lecture will be an opportunity to talk about HIV in a destigmatising way, tracing Avery’s work throughout the epidemic, and to emphasise current health promotion about HIV testing, treatment and prevention.

Free, all welcome, no bookings required.

The Gallery is wheelchair accessible. If you would like to discuss your access needs, please email [email protected] or call 02 6627 4606.
