For those of you who may not be able to make it along to see our suite of eleven prints at the Australian Print Workshop, please allow us to present you with a tour of Through a glass eye in the company of a Fawn hopping mouse and other museum specimens. These specimens, removed from action, animated, possibly, by your vantage point in the virtual gallery on the screen before you or resting in your palm, may afford a look at an animated afterlife.
Photographed (beautifully) by Tim Gresham. (Thank-you Tim.)
Please feel free to print your own A3 catalogue (PDF download). And you will find each print available for purchase through the APW’s online store.

Museum of Aphorisms and Platitudes
Curated by Phil Edwards
c3 Contemporary Art Space
Gallery 5
The Abbotsford Convent
1 St Heliers Street, Abbotsford
19th June – 14th July, 2019
Opening Wednesday 19th of June, 6–8pm
The Museum of Platitudes and Aphorisms is part of a series of exhibitions and events that explore how individual artists and audiences explore their thinking about the presence of art in a studio or a gallery environment. It seems that there is a kind of peripheral vision that occurs in all artist’s practices that, once recognised, avoids or extends the awareness of the role of art and galleries in our lives. The aim of the project is to ask both makers and observers to reflect upon their own values in the experiences of making, encountering and looking at art. The role of the museum or gallery as the psychological architecture used to reflect upon accepted knowledge is also in review.
