The Australian Ugliness reflects on the challenges of housing and homelessness in Australia today. Curated by Sarah Werkmeister, this exhibition brings together leading Australian artists to explore contemporary issues around land ownership, wealth inequity, and the concept of ‘home’.

Digital Fantasy | Chira Grasby

Digital Fantasy is a survey of self through Y2K nostalgia and adolescence in the digital age. Using oil painting, low-fi video, and hand-painted ceramics, Chira Grasby explores her associations with early 2000s internet culture.
