=================================================================

Dear friend,



We are starting this weekly announcement of art events which we think should be interesting and which we recommend you check out. We hope this list of exhibitions, openings, talks, etc would be helpful to you.



Our selection this week:



Now – Thu (19 Oct)

Everything That Went Before This. Paintings. Ian Woo.

The Substation Gallery (45 Armenian St)

11am – 9pm

Free



In Everything That Went Before This, the language of painting takes on multiple roles where stacked manifestations of gesture, words and space, intertwine and modulate to re-construct a momentary state of cognitive conundrum. It is a state that reinforces the flux of perceptive memory to accept its fractured nature as a formless whole. It is important that everything that went before and after within each painting succumb the viewer to begin a dialogue of the ‘now’.



Fri (20 Oct)

Opening: 7pm

Kill nothing but time, Take nothing but photographs, Leave nothing but footprints.

A photographic installation by Robert Ern-Yuan Guth
