On now | Lottie Consalvo, 'Horizon pieces', until 20 September.

The exhibition 'Horizon pieces' is a contemplation on the ethereal nature of universally ungraspable phenomena. Across two immersive performance-video works, Consalvo attempts the impossible: to materialise the horizon. Here she compares the endless, enigmatic, perpetual existence of the horizon with that of desire, longing and the human search for contentment. Consalvo says ‘no matter how hard we try, we are never able to comprehend the unseeable and grasp the intangible. But knowing this doesn’t waver our efforts.’

Last Saturday's 'School of Dreams' workshop with Manisha Anjali was inspiring and thoroughly enjoyed by an interesting group of dreamers. Pictured here is the group communing with Babette Robertson's exhibition 'And her hallway moves like the ocean', which closes this Sunday, 23 August.

Last days | 'And her hallway moves like the ocean' by Babette Robertson, until 23 August.

'A painting-based exhibition accompanied by preliminary dream drawings, dream texts, engraved objects, and participatory workshops that explore the unstable relationship between inner and outer worlds... Drawing from psychoanalysis, surrealism, dream cinema, and the writings of Freud, Jung, Kathy Aker, and Nicholas Royle, dreams are approached not as private symbols, but as shifting fragments that move between memory, emotion, bodies, and place. Robertson's ongoing transcription of dreams each morning forms the conceptual foundation of the work.'

Coming soon | Lauren Brincat: 'In sequence', 15 August - 1 November.

Please join us for the opening celebration on Friday 14 August, 5.30 - 7.30pm.

Lauren Brincat’s practice brings together sculpture, installation, performance and sound through fabric, movement and collaboration. Her work responds to people and place through participation, collective experience and poetic gestures in the everyday. Often ephemeral, Brincat responds with depth and intuition to create works that fold the community into the ultimate form.

'In sequence' is Brincat’s first major solo exhibition in the Northern Rivers. Featuring a new site-responsive commission with selected works that resonate with its ideas and material concerns, the exhibition will invite audiences to engage with the Gallery and the Lismore Community in new and unique ways.

Workshop | Carbon, Creativity and Collapse: with Aviva Reed and Al Stark
Sunday 30 August, 10am - 1pm

Bringing together the creative practices of Al Stark and Aviva Reed, who make up Esk Studio, this workshop explores ecological thinking, complex climate change science, and contemporary art processes. Offering participants an interdisciplinary space to engage with the intellectual and emotional dimensions of living in a time of environmental uncertainty. Through combining philosophy, climate change science, locally grounded regenerative practices, and visual arts-based approaches, participants explore meaningful ways to engage and process complex environmental issues in the face of impending changing climates and ecological collapses.

Tickets $15, bookings essential. Book via the Upcoming Programs page of our website.
