22 August - 13 September

Kate Kurucz

The Inland Sea

OPENING | Thursday 22nd August, 6-8pm
GUEST SPEAKER | Eleanor Scicchitano, Independent Curator & Arts Writer

A solo exhibition of oil paintings on copper exploring the fraught legacy and strange romance of doomed expeditions. From futile treks for imagined rewards to noble scientific endeavours beset by tragedy; the damned and the doomed endure in popular imagination.

What is sought?
What is taken?
What is lost?

This exhibition has been supported by Arts South Australia.
