Colourful, and brimming with shapes that sway, teeter and slump, Fantastic Forms<\/em><\/a> celebrates the endless creativity of the human imagination through drawing, ceramics, sculpture and animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-curated by Sophie O\u2019Brien, the exhibition of Merric Boyd\u2019s drawings and ceramics sit in dialogue with new large-scale sculptures by Nabilah Nordin, exquisite ceramic figures by Stephen Benwell and stop-motion videos by emerging Bundjalung artist Rubyrose Bancroft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attuning to the sensual, plastic qualities of clay, along with the development of ceramics as both functional objects, and symbols of power and privilege, Dirt Feeling<\/em><\/a> explores diverse ceramic practices within Australia and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curated by Lia McKnight, this exhibition showcases the work of nearly 70 artists including Glenn Barkley, Pippin Drysdale, Josina Pumani and Angela Valamanesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlighting artworks by Curtin alumni, Everyday, Myths and Legends<\/em><\/a> showcases stories, experiences, and insights into imagined and real worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curated by Susanna Castleden, combining recent and historical acquisitions this exhibition is an expos\u00e9 into the rich diversity of the Curtin University Art Collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
