MAGENTA was an exhibition curated by Beata Geyer.

The grouping of artists with very diverse art practices and approaches to art production explores the notion of magenta, both as concept and as percept, in various imaginative contexts. Artist and curator Beata Geyer presents this exhibition as a multilayered installation where different artistic responses merge to create an exciting viewing experience. Magenta is contained not just within the pictorial or spatial spectrum but also within the conceptual multitude of perspectives and overlay of forms and dimensions. The interaction of colour between form, material, space and architecture unlocks the multitude of meanings attempting to define what magenta potentially is.

Artists: Louise Blyton, Sue Callanan, Adrian Clement, Fiona Davies, Beata Geyer, Shavaurn Hanson, Joel Lambeth, Tom Loveday, Ian Milliss, Tobias Richardson, Margaret Roberts, Hayley West, Caroline Wilde and Kayo Yokoyama.

This sampler exhibition and round-table at The Cross Art Projects reviews the Cementa13 experiment — a wildly successful contemporary art festival with a serious theoretical substructure, held recently in Kandos in the NSW tablelands.

Cementa_13 is a biennial contemporary arts festival taking place in the post-industrial town of Kandos NSW.

Organised by the Tin Sheds Gallery, Exhibition Committee. Last show at the 16 year duration of the gallery on 154 City Road. Opening night, red stuck to people’s feet, leaving footprints, walked into the night, integrating artwork and site specificity, traces of a presence after the event.
