What's New

Fiona Hall: Force Field is published to coincide with the exhibition of the same name at City Gallery Wellington, Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, Australia and Christchurch Art Gallery, Te Puna O Waiwhetu. Adelaide-based artist Fiona Hall has, over the last past four decades explored the nexus of nature and culture. Like a ‘force field’ of conflicting energies, her art is shaped by the histories of colonization, science and systems of knowledge, and the ethics of consumption. Two major essays by Gregory O’Brien and Vivienne Webb are included in this publication, alongside a conversation between the artist and Paula Savage, Director City Gallery Wellington. Published by City Gallery Wellington and Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. We recommend acquiring this publication quickly as it is anticipated to sell out. Designed by Sarah Maxey Design, Soft cover 96 pages, over 45 colour illustrations, RRP $45

For the last twenty years Hany Armanious has been a key figure in Australian art. His formally diverse work is marked by its conflation of opposing values. He draws on images and objects from a divergent pool, morphing and overlaying styles and vocabularies to build playful, evocative and unexpected new configurations. This accumulative short-circuiting of history, influence and association is intentionally far-fetched and often comical. His work draws our attention to the prevalent imperative to seek connection, to notice sameness, to rationalise points of confluence through often bogus means. This new monograph Hany Armanious: Morphic Resonance was produced in partnership with Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane on occasion of the exhibition of the same name curated by Heather Galbraith and Robert Leonard. Essays by Robert Leonard and Jason Markou are included. Designed by Katrina Stubbs, Soft cover 96 pages, over 50 colour illustrations, RRP $41.
