NEW26

  • Free
  • Art

NEW26 presents the work of seven outstanding artists from across the country, at the forefront of contemporary art practice: Amanda Bell, Amanda Bennetts, Nicholas Currie, Naveed Farro, Caesar Florence-Howard, Diego Ramírez and EJ Son. Through their work, this exhibition captures the pulse of creative practice now, bringing together distinct bodies of work that reflect, question, and reshape artistic and social preoccupations of our time.

Spanning painting, moving image, ceramics, sound, installation, writing and architectural intervention, NEW26 engages with some of the defining questions of our current moment, including the accelerating influence of technology and AI, identity and subjectivity, the ongoing legacies of colonialism, the continuing expressive potential of traditional art mediums, the roles and responsibilities of cultural institutions.
