Daniel Boyd: Treasure Island is the artist’s first major exhibition to be held in an Australian public institution. Featuring more than 80 works from across his nearly two-decade career, the exhibition unpacks the ways in which Boyd holds a lens to colonial history, explores multiplicity within narratives and interrogates blackness as a form of First Nations’ resistance.Working with an idiosyncratic painting technique that partially obscures the composition, Boyd refigures archival imagery, art historical references and his own family photographs, asking us to contend with histories that have been hidden from view. www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/whats-on/exhibitions/daniel-boyd/
Rossana Orlandi abandoned her fashion world to open an art and design gallery. From the moment
she made the leap, it became a mecca for Design. Through her
love and passion the Gallery, was named one of the eight most important in the
world.
She presented an
aesthetic dialogue where objects communicate with each other outside of place
and time. The curious intelligence that has always been her compass led Rossana
to travel around the world to what we now call Design Weeks. She discovered the
most significant figures in Design. Marteen Baas, Formafantasma, Nacho
Carbonell, Piet Hein Eek.

Grégoire Scalabre’s latest masterpiece is inspired by a Greek Goddess. His signature style is both minute and megalithic. He creates ceramics and sculptures that border on fine art. He is experimental and daring; finding expression in a smorgasbord of sizes, shapes and materials that clash and collide. With over 70,000 porcelain miniatures turned individually by hand, Grégoire Scalabre’s latest masterpiece took months to put together. Weighing a whopping 450 kilos and standing 2 metres tall, the monumental piece debuts at the Porcelain Virtuosity Exhibition as part of Homo Faber 2022 in Venice.
