In gallery one, Claudia Terstappen presents photographs of animals killed by passing cars in the Australian bush in her new exhibition A Language of the Vanishing.
Terstappen photographs the creatures where they lay – flattened, bloodied and limbs askew, enabling the viewer to examine vanishing species in a way that would not be possible in life.
In God’s Eye, the university’s annual Visual Arts and Design student exhibition in gallery two, explores notions of surveillance and privacy in today’s world of social media and geo-mapping.
Ben Blacket, Mici Boxell, Alanah Brand, Pamela Isaacs, Chelsea Josephs, Bianca Maher, Daniel Marks, Benita Murray and Catherine Shields take George Orwell’s novel Ninety Eighty-Four as their point of departure to consider the author’s ominous predictions of a dystopian future.
