Summer Suite
Exhibition Opening

Public Program

Join us to celebrate the official opening of our Summer Suite of exhibitions, featuring:

Spot the Difference
Bringing together artists from Penrith and across Australia, Spot the Difference celebrates and interrogates the story of ‘The Big Black Cat’, an elusive panther that is said to roam from Penrith, through to the Blue Mountains and Central West NSW. Working across drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, installation and design, these artists highlight the varying origins of the myth, the way in which the story is being told and retold today, and the transformational power of art to transcend fact or fiction.

Marian Abboud & Vicki Van Hout: Magic Malfunction
Magic Malfunction is a roaming experience reflecting a coming together: of women’s work from busy hands; of evil eyes and pointing bones; and of dances mediated through pixelated slips. Presenting a collection of archival research and unfinished works by long-time collaborators Marian Abboud and Vicki Van Hout, Magic Malfunction explores themes of process, logic, discussion and research, rationalising the bizarre until it becomes a truth of sorts. With video, installation, and more traditional forms of making, this exhibition aims to create an environment that speaks to the human condition, exploring the intersection of technology, culture and identity’

Felix Jackson: transcript
transcript is the first solo exhibition by local artist Felix Jackson (they/them), who employs artistic processes of drawing, marking, casting and recording as strategies to reflect experiences of transition and translation from one state to another– physical, psychological, or otherwise. Thinking through the transcript as a way of documenting significant but fleeting moments, this exhibition is a witness to moments of personal transformation and an assertion of self.

If you would like to attend the official opening, please RSVP by sending an email to gallery@penrith.city by Wednesday, 13 November.

Friday 15 November, 6pm – 8pm
