September 1st - 19th @ SEVENTH










In Gallery One and on the Night Screen was Christopher Koller's photographic and video installation, A One Legged Schoolteacher, Two Anarchist Bullfighters and a Poet. Koller's work is centred around a visit to the site of Spanish poet Federico Garcia Llorca's assasination.


























In Gallery Two, Chris Hartnett's Blurring Boundaries presented the viewer with two visual components, a tent with a fur rug, lit from within with a floursescent light and a video on the wall displaying footage of animals dully pacing to and fro in zoo enclosures.
















And in the Project Space was Jordan Wood's Evoludicrous. This menacing installation oscillated somewhere between ancient mystical talismans and post-apocalyptic totems.

Tuesday August 11, Opening Night!


'Neo Black', in Gallery One and the Project Space, featured works from Georgina Cue, Dean Thompson and Michael Staniak.

Michael Staniak explains that "this exhibition explores three unique and contrasting methods where black has been used, not so much as a colour value but more as a concept derived from science, media and popular culture".


Georgina Cue's embroideries involve a delicate portrayal of cinema noir and mysterious street deaths and murders.



Dean Thompson's painted fibreglass canvases seem to transform from solid materials to fragile, vulnerable substances.




Michael Staniak's oil paintings and fluorescent lights eerily lit the room. He explores quantum physics and black holes and the ability for scientists to re-create this phenomenon through machines.




Submerged in Gallery Two was the work of Laureen Lansdown, 'Planktos-Made to Wander'.



Playing on the Night Screen was Georgie Roxby Smith's 'Walk 8:57am<>Run 8:59am'.

A delightful bunch of artists are exhibiting at Seventh this time 'round until August 8.

Gallery One contains the wonderful works of Dane Lovett (pictured below with buddy).

Stephen Palmer, Hao Guo and Andrew Atchison are showing their pieces in Gallery Two.






Float away with Kate Fauld's enchanting animation, 'Balloon', showing on the Night Screen from 6pm Tuesday to Saturday.

Exhibition Opening Night June 9th

'Twas a chilly Tuesday night at Seventh this week. Luckily the large crowd generated some much needed heat. Thank you to all for sharing your warmth once again.


Jody Cleaver's animation and photographs of sculptural puppets fill the Project Space and double up with another animation on the Night Screen, definitely worth a closer look. Brave that cool breeze and stand outside Seventh from 6pm to 12am otherwise take a few rides down Gertrude St on tram 86.


Some of the crowd peering into the intriguing pieces in Gallery One...so much to see!


Gallery One contains 'Host' by Charlotte Ghaie and Jacob Weiss exploring the 'Thing' that comes from the inner space, not outer space. Weiss explores where the inner ends and the outer begins. Ghaie's watercolours and crafts peer into the cultural other and 'the misappropriation of the imagery of the other'.

A little space to breathe in Gallery One.


Kat Clarke's 'Intrusion' invades Gallery Two with intriguing sound and wired sculptures, walk down the back and check it out!
