ANNE SCOTT WILSON
ANNE SCOTT WILSON is solo exhibiting at the Australian Experimental Art Foundation (Adelaide). Frayed opens 7 July and continues until 6 August.
'Painters are inclined to translate the everyday into patterns, chromatic fragments and form. Musicians seem to interpret through sound, rhythm and octaves. While writers convert the everyday through symbols and word associations, and video and photographic artists tend to process by combining all thought patterns. Anne Wilson combines all elemental processes, cultivating an odd space, a still psychological space, and a momentary space. Her narration distorts the ordinary, and submits a manipulation of time and space through motion, creating an interactive body-space.' M.Amore Catalogue Essay

ADAM HILL will also be exhibiting at the University of Sydney Art Gallery in an exhibition titled Freedom Riders: Art & Activism 1960s to Now. The exhibition opens 3 July and continues until 25 September.
'The starting point for the exhibition FREEDOM RIDERS: Art and activism 1960s to now is a major portrait, Charlie Perkins, 1986, by Aboriginal artist Robert Campbell Jnr in the University Union Art collection. Perkins was the first Aboriginal graduate at the university and a key figure in the Freedom Ride, a historic intervention initiated by Sydney University students in 1965. The Freedom Ride focused unprecedented attention on the systematic racism experienced by Aboriginal communities in regional towns across New South Wales. Campbell’s art played a pioneering role in exposing the social and political realities of NSW Aboriginal people.'
