▶ MELINDA LE GUAY + AL MUNRO, OPENING 14 MAY

New work by MELINDA LE GUAY and AL MUNRO will be on view starting Tuesday 10 May 2011. Please join the artists for a drink to celebrate the launch of their solo exhibition at the Gallery on Saturday 14 May from 4-6pm.

Andrew Taylor featured Le Guay's upcoming exhibition of etherial, knitted wire dresses in a half page article in Art & Culture in The Sun-Herald, published on the 24th of April. Le Guay says the dress "suggests an inner world of discord and struggle for perfection whilst maintaining an outward appearance of grace and beauty."

Crystallography is the field of science which studies the arrangement of atoms within a solid. According to Munro, "My work takes as its starting point a number of crystallographic diagrams which function as descriptions of the natural world in terms of mathematical code, but which, like any code or language, can be spoken and written in unintended ways."

The Gallery is also pleased to announce the long awaited return of Sam Robinson's wonderful decal porcelain bowls, cups and illuminators. We look forward to welcoming you to the Gallery to view the new exhibitions as well as the new additions to our stockroom.
