What are art schools for?
Date
22 September 2006 - 14 October 2006
Place
The Cross Art Projects, 8 Llankelly Place, Kings Cross, Sydney, 2011, Australia
Description

What are art schools for? is an exhibition about the crossroads where the hopes of individuals and institutional desire must confront their dilemmas. Trendall chose a recent history of Sydney College of the Arts as his raw material and world mirror. He lays out the conundrum lying close to the heart of contemporary cultural institutions: how can things existing in flux be given fixed forms and vice versa?

Conceptual Crochet
Date
12 November 2004 - 4 December 2004
Place
The Cross Art Projects, 8 Llankelly Place, Kings Cross, Sydney, 2011, Australia
Description

Conceptual Crochet answers the curious question: Why are so many contemporary artists interested in craft techniques? The artists in the exhibition are trained in the Conceptual Art tradition. Their work, however, harnesses critical forces as well as the heightened levels of aesthetic and formal innovation often found in crafts such as knitting, quilting and crochet.
