May Day: The Return of Art & Politics in the 21st Century
Date
6 May 2006 - 3 June 2006
Place
The Cross Art Projects, 8 Llankelly Place, Kings Cross, Sydney, 2011, Australia
Description

The exhibition reflects on these sorry days of government manipulation of unions and the introduction of divisive industrial laws, on the curbing of civil liberties and the strangling of access to information. It also identifies a strong neo-conceptual critical and aesthetic strain within contemporary Australian art practice that interacts with global concerns and local political topics.

Pacific Pearl: Conversation 1, Ross Gibson and Jelle Van Den Berg
Date
3 June 2004 - 26 June 2004
Place
The Cross Art Projects, 8 Llankelly Place, Kings Cross, Sydney, 2011, Australia
Description

Pacific and Pearl are long-term collaborative conversations independently developed between two pairs of artists, the first between Jelle Van Den Berg (Netherlands/Australia) and Ross Gibson (Australia) and the second between Maria Cruz (Phillipines/Australia) and Stefan Sehler (Germany). Their work is intellectually rigorous yet has an evocative quality, a poise achieved by an interplay between a historically inspired awareness and poetic sensibility. PACIFIC is the first installation followed by PEARL.
