The Hold Artspace warmly invites you to the opening of two concurrent exhibitions on Friday 29th May from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.

Reorganising Principles reconsiders the visibility of colonial settler women within historical narratives. Referencing colonial images and objects of jewellery, this experimental work will extend on existing knowledge of the era. By using the genre of jewellery to navigate the archives, connections can be created between diverse artifactual evidence concerned with the presence of women in Australian historical narratives. This process aims to visualise idiosyncrasies of the experiences of women through the use of new objects forms and photographic mosaics.

Bald, Bald, Head and other stories explores the mythical and romantic relationship between the artist, studio and the muse. Investigating notions of the public and the private, Kellie O’Dempsey and sound designer Michael Dick will transform and manipulate the gallery space through a playful installation of drawing, video and performance.

Performance on the night from 6:00 pm by sound artist Michael Dick.
