Unearthed: Fifty years of Australian landscape art from the Charles Nodrum Collection
16 July 2010 - 29 August 2010
Charles Nodrum is one of Australia’s most recognised art dealers and collectors and an enthusiastic support of the Arts. Since the early 1980’s his gallery in Richmond has developed a reputation for presenting the work of leading Australian and International artists. Since the early 1970’s Nodrum has also been an avid collector, building a collection that encapsulates his personal interest and passion for the abstract and alternative art movements
This exhibition brings together a selection of works which highlight this passion as well as the diversity of media and breadth of style inherent in his collection. Taking as a focus the landscape, it celebrates the rural and the urban and the possibilities in between.
Featured artists include Arthur Boyd, Rupert Bunny, James Gleeson, Jim Henson, Victor Majzner, John Olsen, Deborah Russell and Fred Williams highlighting Nodrum’s personal interest and passion for the abstract and alternative art movements of the period.

32.0 × 24.5 cm (irreg)High Tea
3 December 2009 - 13 February 2010
A social ritual, the ceremony of high tea is comprised of a series of gestures governing things such as the way tea should be stirred, the direction of a teapot’s spout, and the proper way to eat a scone! High Tea explores the social, political and cultural role of high tea in contemporary culture. How does the spectacle of consuming food and drink contribute to notions of identity?
Exhibiting artists are Tara Badcock, Penelope Benton, James Carey, Paul Compton, Benja Harney, Sharon Margaret, Danielle Maugeri, Amanda McKenzie, James Oates, Jeremy Pryles and Malte Wagenfeld.

City Edge: photographs by Douglas Evans
The edges of the city are often raw and unadorned. Places of transformation. Sites of movement and change. The urban/suburban veneer is stretched thinly over a remnant ruined landscape. Webs of infrastructure stretched across the land. The city edge can be banal but also diverse and beautiful. Photographer, Douglas Evans address the outward ripple of the city edge.
