  Official Opening 6:00pm Friday 7 Dec 2018

  The exhibition, BETWEEN NATURE AND SIN features a decade of past paintings, photographs, videos, and the premiere of COWBOY COUNTRY, David Griggs’ first feature film.

  David Griggs explores the darker undercurrents of human existence. His work, predominantly portraiture, focuses on the human condition; drawing on political imagery, underground media, local histories and personal experience. Famous for his bold approach, Griggs exposes the raw underbelly of society.    His work is often collaborative, engaging directly with communities while remaining sensitive to the ethical and moral obligations this demands. For the last 10 years Griggs has resided in the Philippines and has created a significant body of work that reveals the social hierarchies and underground culture of his adopted home.   A Campbelltown Arts Centre exhibition presented nationally by Museums & Galleries of NSW. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.

  Forms of Net has a long history. In ancient Rome, gladiators were armed with nets to entangle their opponents. In Oriental tradition, the gods were provided with nets to catch humans, either to draw them in or to bend them to their will. In Persian tradition, it was the mystic, who armed herself with a net in an attempt to capture God. Nets have been intrinsic to indigenous practices all over the world and are considered sacred because of the patient endurance their making and mending requires, and the embodied time and traditions they represent. 

  Reid and McLaughlin have created a series of glass and wire nets formed during a firing process. The heated glass melts to a liquid and fuses to the wire as it cools; integrating hundreds of pieces of hand-cut glass into one unified field.

  Exhibition is open from January 19, however the official opening is on February 15, to conicide with fellow exhibition openings.
