Gallery Lane Cove + Creative Studios July/August 2024 Exhibitions and Workshops

By

In December 2024, Gallery Lane Cove + Creative Studios will present three exhibitions, that, although separate and unique, each reflect on the unifying theme of marking through distinct approaches to artmaking. This theme is explored both as literal interpretations of mark-making and as metaphors for marking the passage of time.

Fiona Davies’ “The Night Passes” is a multifaceted installation consisting of video, sound, and objects. It explores the night as a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, aiming to challenge traditional ways of knowing, prioritise lived experiences, and create a space for dialogue and collaboration.

Abby Chambers’ “Fun. Unlimited. A drawing installation” explores the environmental impact of cruise ships through a large-scale drawing created onsite using charcoal and mixed media. Cruise ships, symbols of leisure and escapism, promote environmental observation rather than engagement. They also embody consumerism and contribute significantly to pollution, with a quarter of all ocean waste originating from these vessels.

Gary Gregg and Daniela Minns’ exhibition, “Gary Gregg + Daniela Minns = Conversations in Mark Making,” continues the dialogue and exploration of mark-making. This series of experimental works includes both individual paintings and collaborative works on paper, exploring the language of the artist—the mark. Through a process of exchange and building upon each other’s marks, Gregg and Minns have created an artistic dialogue spanning their relationship as both family and fellow artists. As they explain, “For the abstract artist, marks are a language, a way to express ideas as art.”

“The Night Passes,” “Fun. Unlimited,” and “Gary Gregg + Daniela Minns = Conversations in Mark Making” will be on show at Gallery Lane Cove + Creative Studios from December 4th to 21st. The opening event will be held at 6 pm on Wednesday, December 11th. Entry to the exhibition and opening event is free, and everyone is welcome.

Opening Night – 11th Dec 6 – 8 pm

Celebrate the opening of December exhibitions while listening to Sydney DJ Vincent Sebastian and enjoying wines from young winemaker of the year, Nadja Wallington of ChaLou Wines.  RSVP here.
