6 for 6:30pm, Friday 28 January 2022

The Arena is a group exhibition that platforms sport as a performance, with the roles of players and the crowd as actors in collective mythmaking and fanfare. Exhibiting a range of video work, painting, photography and sculpture by Tracey Moffat, Khaled Sabsabi, Marikit Santiago, WBYK, Zoe Croggon, Richard Lewer and Tully Moore, the exhibition examines sport as a medium to explore the limits of human emotion such as passion, mania and fanaticism in competition.

Join The Arena curator Lucy Stranger for an exhibition tour at 5:30pm prior to the opening. Book your free ticket HERE.

Jaq Davies: Marks in time

Jaq Davies’ work is inherently autobiographical. Working with line – created with the mediums of hair, charcoal, paint or string – she pushes the boundaries of the picture plane, playing with scale and marking time. Working with found objects and mark making, Davies will create a large-scale wall installation, and a series of expansive drawings and sculpture that celebrate the poetry of her everyday.

This will be a COVID Safe event. All attendees will be required to:
