HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT at The Gertrude Street Projection Festival 2022

Honey Long & Prue Stent, Drinking from the screen, 2020, single-channel video, stereo sound, 4 min, edition of 3, 1/3.

We loved seeing HONEY LONG & PRUE STENTS incredible film 'Drinking from the Screen' at the 2022 Gertrude Street Projection Festival on the weekend.

‘Drinking from the screen’ is a meditation on longing for the more than human world and our increasing dependency on computer screens as a means of connection. Intended as a massage for the eyes, the artists press their own bodies up against glass and try to connect to watery environs.

Fourth anniversary of IMANTS TILLERS retrospective at the Latvian National Museum of Art

Four years ago this month 'Imants Tillers: Journey to Nowhere' opened at the Latvian National Museum of Art. Celebrating the outstanding carer of IMANTS TILLERS. The retrospective presented 64 artworks spanning 50 years of practice, with an opening address given by Rupert Myer.

"The images that Imants creates for us are clearly not just for our visual appreciation...They are puzzles to be figured, maps to be decoded. The placement of words and expressions requires a high level of viewer participation. We linger on a phrase. Its position on the canvas matters. Its adjacency with another phrase or a graphic is a clue." - Rupert Myer.

JULIE RRAP and Director Fran Clark featured in ART COLLECTOR

Artist JULIE RRAP and Director Fran Clark feature in the current issue of Art Collector, talking about the longevity of their friendship and professional relationship.

"Artists need to believe in their own vision of the world and a gallerist needs to be able to come on for the ride, but their input can provide invaluable guidance when the ride gets a bit bumpy." - Julie Rrap

"We share a respect that is underpinned by a great care for each other's way of working. Julie has always supported me with solid counsel." - Director Fran Clark
