COLLECTION FOCUS
Abstract Art by Women in the 1980s
ABOUT
After gracing the walls of the Holmes à Court Gallery @ no.10, this exhibition travels to the Holmes à Court Gallery @ Vasse Felix.
This is the second instalment of the Collection Focus series of annual exhibitions drawn exclusively from the Janet Holmes à Court Collection. Here we present art works which have rarely been on display. This selection reveals the substantial contribution women artists have made to the field of abstract art in Australia. Women artists have played a fundamental role in the development of abstract art throughout the 20th century. The specific period of focus for this exhibition is the 1980s and the works span across painting, collage, ceramics and sculpture, to celebrate and acknowledge the crucial significance of abstract art by women in Australia in the 1980s.

Bread of Bone
ABOUT
Bread of Bone features new works from established Western Australian artists. This exhibition will focus on such ideas as food security, differing attitudes toward food, the impact of climate change on food supplies and the value of eating locally. Each artist’s perspective on food is explored through the staple technique of drawing, additionally considering thoughts and feelings toward modern interpretations of grinding bones to make bread.
ARTISTS
Erin Coates, Ross Potter, Anna Louise Richardson, Andy Quilty, Ric Spencer
Throughout the Bread of Bone exhibition there will be a series of events to participate in, including:
ARTIST WORKSHOP: The Do's and Donuts of Paper
Presented by Ross Potter, Andy Quilty and Erin Coates, the Do's and Donuts of Paper is a professional development workshop for artists, to learn about working with paper from established artists. The workshop will cover different types of paper, a variety of mediums, how to use fixatives... and include a donut treat!
This is a family friendly event welcoming kids to the art of drawing and the role of food in our lives..
ARTIST TALKS AND AUCTION
In this event five graphite drawings will be auctioned. Each artwork represents bread and each is by one of the artists in Bread of Bone. Come and be a part of the buzz and have a chance to walk home with your own slice.
