gbk awardees: where are they now?
Each year since 2008, gbk has been helping selected College of Fine Arts Honours students realise their end of year project with a cash injection. It’s time to see where they are now. This exhibition in the main gallery space presents recent work of the 13 awardees: Lachlan Anthony, Nathan Babet, Joel Beerden, Melanie Borham, Tara Cook, Rosie Deacon, Dara Gill, Shalini Jardin, Hugh Marchant, Ben Norris, Marilyn Schneider, Dan Simon and Ioulia Terizis.
In the project space, Joan Ross releases BBQ this Sunday, BYO. A year in the making, this is fluoro yellow’s rejoinder to last year’s hi-vis orange video work, based on Joseph Lycett’s colonial landscape paintings and cast of characters.
