Amy McGregor’s Episode is an exploration of narrative through visual cues and draws on techniques observed from film and television, particularly crime mysteries of the 70’s and 80’s. Each of these staged photographs presents salient features with minimal context and encourages speculation on the relationship between them. What is shown and what is hidden share equal importance in the provocation of imagination.

The exhibition opens at Canberra Contemporary Art Space, Manuka at 6pm, Thursday 23th August and runs to 2nd September.

Fleeting Glimpses is a collection of paintings, collage and photography from travels around Australia and Aotearoa, New Zealand by Catherine Moore. This is the third solo exhibition of her work at Altenburg.

“The concept of Fleeting Glimpses relates not just to quick views of landscapes through bus or train windows, but to the fragile state of the world as a direct result of human activity, and the fact that so much is disappearing before our eyes, on our watch.”

The exhibition is showing now at Altenburg & Co, Braidwood until 20th March.
