What’s On
Canberra Art Biennial
Celebrate Canberra Art Biennial at NFSA Acton with a striking new commission from contemporary Australian artist Bronte Cormican-Jones and a curated program of screenings and special events. Exhibiting until 26 October, Of line, of light responds to the surrounding NFSA, Shine Dome and Ovolo Nishi Hotel structures. Acting at once as a collection of two-dimensional drawings in space, and three-dimensional sculptures, the work shifts from different perspectives. Steel elements act as sculptural frameworks for neon lighting, which comes alive at night.
Cormican-Jones’ installations respond to the architecture of their locations, and the formal considerations of shape, line, intersection, space and perception. To the viewer in motion, the frames in Of line, of light sit adjacent before intersecting, cutting into new spaces, and opening the field of vision to the world outside the rectangle. This luminous work offers moments of contemplation, moments of pause, and visual play.
Expressions of Interest sought for Southern Canberra Community Markets
Opening Day of these new monthly markets is Saturday 2 Nov 2024, from 9:30am to 3:30pm. It will coincide with the Westwood Farm Open Day.
Family-friendly activities will include a farm animal petting and feeding zoo, buggy rides, whip cracking, face painting, nature walks, children’s nature craft, games and a scavenger hunt, and the opportunity to meet Westwood Farms herd of cattle. This joint event will ensure a great crowd for the first market day to raise awareness and encourage repeat visitors for future months.
The markets are set in the relaxed rural atmosphere of Westwood Farm, a working farm on 244 Kambah Pool Road, nestled near the foothills of the beautiful Brindabella Mountains.
This site is the home ground of both Lions Youth Haven and Galilee School. They provide a range of essential community services that assist some of Canberra’s most disadvantaged youth. Your stall fees will help support their important missions.
