New publication featuring MARTI, ZAHALKA, LAURENCE, YOUNG

Celebrating the launch of Mordant Collection Highlights, a publication devoted to the collection of Simon and Catriona Mordant.

"We never set out to build a collection. What has driven us is a passion to be surrounded by creative people, whether in the visual or performing arts. We have only purchased a work when it evoked a reaction in us ... We have never bought a work for a particular wall or because someone told us the artist was important. We have loved this journey together."—Simon and Catriona Mordant

Featured in the highlights are these pieces by Dani Marti, Anne Zahalka, Janet Laurence and John Young.

DANI MARTI 'Orifices' Features in 'Inside/Out' at The Night Galleries

DANI MARTI'S 'Orifices' features in the exhibition 'Inside/Out' at the Night Galleries in Kuwumi Place, Newcastle, to celebrate Sydney WorldPride.

Newcastle Art Gallery has partnered with curator Jasmine Fletcher (@flowersandrice), founder of local community organisation Queer and Now, to develop 'Inside/Out', an exhibition that brings together works by local artists with those from the Gallery's collection.

'Inside/Out' speaks to the dichotomy of invisible and visible queer experience. The exhibition celebrates the central role of art in rendering visible the full spectrum of queer experience.

The exhibition opens tonight, 5-8pm.

Dani Marti, 'Orifices', 2000-2005.

Press for DANI MARTI 's exhibition 'Oh Canola!'

Fabulous press for DANI MARTI’S latest exhibition ‘Oh Canola!’ at Maitland Regional Art Gallery, which was mentioned in the Newcastle Herald.

The main gallery space at Maitland Regional Art Gallery has one big, long wall and Dani Marti has created one work to fill it. It's all yellow, and stretches more than 11 metres. Made of several panels, installed by Marti to flow seamlessly, the wall sculpture titled Oh Canola! is made of almost 10,000 circular reflectors, the kind used along roads, but customised in yellow.
