Then and Now: Representations in Glass is an exhibition highlighting the artistry and expertise of artist Denis O’Connor.
This unique exhibition showcases O’Connor’s early hand blown glasswork from the 1970’s and 1980’s through to recent explorations in his current practice. You can also view a selection of the collection upstairs in this building.
In the main gallery, you will find Recent Acquisitions: Wagga Wagga Art Gallery Collection, a showcase of purchased and donated works over the past three years. The exhibition brings together a diverse range of media, including glass, print, photography, painting and sculpture and demonstrates the breadth and complexity of the gallery collection.
The gallery is deeply honoured to present the exhibition, Ngabinbiyi dulmarra (measured pressure): Michael Riley and Lorraine Connelly-Northey. Both Michael and Lorraine are visionary Wiradjuri/Waradgerie artists of national significance. Through varied mediums and techniques both artists depict Wiradjuri identity, capturing the enduring sense of beauty amid decay that lies at its heart.
On the first level, you will find the highly political artist duo Soda_Jerk return with their brilliant cinema mash up TERROR NULLIUS, a political revenge fable in three acts. Whilst you are on this level don’t forget to check out the Gallery Shop which had a wide range of jewellery, homewares and locally sourced artisan products
