This exhibition brings together artists who explore the places and spaces around them through installation, sculpture, painting and augmented reality. Featuring local and interstate artists, the exhibition unfolds as a dynamic dialogue between the tangible and intangible spaces we inhabit: our homes, our online realities, as well as the metaphorical spaces we occupy. The artists bring a diverse range of works to this exhibition by invoking the shelter and sanctuary of safe spaces; utilising natural materials of surrounding environments; looking back on hometown experiences through a Queer lens; via technology, questioning access to and use of certain places; and documenting a city’s rapid changes over time. 

Places and Spaces is an exhibition through which artists S.A. Adair; Easton Dunne; Katie Hayne; Rebecca Mayo with Aunty Deidre Martin and Jacob Morris; and Elliat Rich and James Young provide poignant observations of the places and spaces around them, and consequently, complex studies on their own histories and lived experiences.
