All good things must come to an end. Fortunately for you there’s still time to taste-test the delectable ‘Kids Stay Free’ exhibition at Neon Parc, before the gallery switches to solo showings.
Home to 11 artists, the squat, unassuming gallery which opened at the start of April is currently home to a mix of installation art, print and canvas by an eclectic selection of Australians. Highlights include prints by Paul Knight, who recently exhibited at Sydney’s MCA and Lane Cormick’s tempting texta, tape, coin and wood construction ‘One hundred buck’.
Worth an extra-long look is the foetal wax-splash installation ‘It came out of me’ by ANU graduate Noël Skrzypczak, who manipulates psychological ink-blot tests into fleshy wall acrylics.
Next up is a solo exhibition by Colleen Ahern (pictured), so run don’t walk to sample this collaborative selection before it’s too late…
