| INDICATE
Matt Glenn, Robert Hunter, Jonathan Jones, Winston Roeth (USA), Fred Sandback (USA), Nicki Wynnychuk
2 February to 31 March 2013
Indicate brings together a group of artists whose practices consider the multiplicity of conditions under which their work is exhibited. It investigates the communicative power of perception, illusion and spatial variation in abstraction, whereby the potency of each work is wholly contingent upon the audience’s engagement with, experience of, or situation within the space in which it is being viewed.
GUEST CURATOR: David Hagger
OPENING: Friday 1 February 6.00pm. Opened by Charles Nodrum, Director, Charles Nodrum Gallery.

| CLIVE MURRAY-WHITE
Museum
26 January to 24 March 2013
Museum is the latest exhibition from pre-eminent Gippsland artist Clive Murray-White to draw from antiquity in order to elucidate the present. Working with his muse Iris Bendor, Murray-White presents a suite of new marble heads supported by geometric metal stands.
While speaking engagingly of time, beauty and material, each work transcends the tradition of marble sculpture to form an eloquent enquiry into art-making today.
OPENING: Friday 1 February 6.00pm. Opened by Charles Nodrum, Director, Charles Nodrum Gallery.

| THE RAPTURE OF DEATH
Jo Bertini, Andrew Browne, Adam Cullen, Julia deVille, Marian Drew, Juan Ford, Linde Ivimey, Anne Judell, Sam Leach, eX de Medici, V.R. Morrison, Ben Quilty, Kate Rhode, Ricky Swallow, Michael Zavros
10 November 2012 to 20 January 2013
The Rapture of Death is the experience of delight upon escaping grave danger, writes Prue Gibson. It offers the sweet knowledge that you are safe, at least for the moment, from the clutches of darkness. And it is a phrase which refers to the fear or apprehension of death, rather than the actual experience of dying.
Based on the book of the same name by Prue Gibson, The Rapture of Death features major works by some of Australia’s leading artists. Like the book, this unusual exhibition is a philosophical enquiry into the use of deathly imagery in contemporary art, and investigates why fear of death is an intrinsic part of life.
BASED ON THE BOOK: The Rapture of Death by Prue Gibson. Published by Boccalatte Pty Ltd.
OPENING: Friday 30 November 6.00pm. To be opened by Prue Gibson, Author, The Rapture of Death
