Lois Basham
'Leftovers'
Projection Room
Lois Basham explores place as a container of memory and investigates the materials and everyday objects found there. From this process she distils the essence of the site which she transforms into a multimedia installation of objects, sound sculpture and imagery imbued with meaning.
Petr Zly
'The ashes of Malevich'
Gallery 1
My practice involves the use of 3d modelling and printing, and the techniques used in film props and hyper-realist sculpture, but subverting them by creating abstractions which call into question the narrow narratives that our culture presents concerning how to live with and use technology and how to live in the contemporary city. My work involves bridging the dichotomy between the mechanism and organism, subjective and objective to make art which is expressionist and lyrical, relating to the body and its tenuous existence.
Alphington Studio
'Coalesce'
Gallery 2
Coalesce brings together artists connected by the annual Alphington Open Studios program. Each bring their own unique style and practices to create a vibrant showcase of varying floor and wall works including bronze, wood, ceramics, assemblage, printmaking and oil media.
Louis Balis
'What Wood'
Gallery 3
The exhibition What Wood presents a curated selection of wooden sculptures developed over more than a decade of artistic exploration. The display brings together earlier works alongside newly developed pieces that engage in dialogue with the existing collection.Materials include reclaimed timber from home demolition sites, plywood, and repurposed wood sourced from the Community Shed’s scrap bin. Each sculpture is crafted using a combination of hand and machine tools to cut, shape, and refine the forms. Surface treatments of varnish, oil, and beeswax enrich the natural grain and texture of the wood, while offering durable protection.
Geometric, representational, and figurative elements convey philosophical concepts, and reflect the enduring influence of Greek heritage within the artist’s practice. Several works are conceived as reconfigurable installations, inviting a sense of playfulness and active engagement from the viewer.
