Abstract

Structurally, and scientifically, there is no edge to the Universe. This exhibition explores the ‘edges' - the space separating objects and time - through artworks within and outside of the gallery collection. By linking art of the past and the present, The Edge of the Universe analyses how the collection exists within a larger cosmos of art making. While the Shepparton Art Gallery collection began in 1936 with a £50 grant from the state government and initially featured paintings and works on paper, it wasn't until the 1970s that the focus of the collection turned to Ceramics. The Edge of the Universe will expand in January to fill the whole first floor of the gallery. Artists include Mike Brown, Stephen Benwell, Damiano Bertoli, Paul Boston, Stephen Bush, Aleks Danko, Dale Frank, Matthew Griffin, Nora Gurdon, Ronnie van Hout, Brendan Huntley, Susan Jacobs, Jess Johnson, Justine Khamara, Col Levy, Max Meldrum, John Perceval, Jeff Schmuki, Renee So, Arthur Streeton, Ricky Swallow, Darren Sylvester, Masato Takasaka, Danila Vassilieff, Angela Valamanesh, among others.
