PAINTING IN A LIBRARY: PATRICK POUND4 July - 7 SeptemberPainting in a Library surveys the roles of the book in Pound's art over two decades. From paintings to collages and photographs, Pound's work looks as if it were made by someone who, on trying to explain the world and having failed, has been reduced to collecting it. This exhibition unpacks the notion of the library and the artwork as a copy of the world. Also showing in the Mackay Mazda FoyerCrossing the Threshold: Ann Williams-Fitzgerald
Now Showing in the Cox Rayner Gallery
