Group exhibition: Including Words

Presenting the work of contemporary artists: Adam Norton, Anthony Bartok, Claudia Chaseling, Joshua Searle, Milovan Destil Markovic, Ron Adams, Sarah Edmondson and Toni Messiter.

Stanley Street Gallery presents Including Words, a group show that delves into the intriguing realm where text meets with the language of paint, colour, and materiality. Through seemingly disparate practices, the exhibition examines how the graphic form of words and numbers converge with material sensibility and imagination.
