15.01.2022 We are busy installing the exhibition Material Sound, which will open to the public on the 29th September. Material Sound is a multi-form exhibition that draws together six art practitioners and collaborative groups, each creating an experience of sound within installations constructed from everyday materials. Handmade instruments and electronics, recycled components, outmoded technologies, fake technologies, imagined sounds, and silences are brought together to challenge th...e way we think about materiality in a cumulative sound experience. A Murray Art Museum Albury exhibition, curated by Caleb Kelly and presented nationally by Museums & Galleries of NSW. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body Image Credit: Vicky Browne, Cosmic Noise (detail), 2016-2018, Material Sound, installation view, Murray Art Museum Albury, 2018.

13.01.2022 The Gallery and MidCoast Stories have won the ‘Conservation of Objects’ award at this year’s National Trust Heritage Awards for the exhibition of the Manning Hospital Collection of paintings by Pixie O’Harris and Olaf Harris. Working in partnership with the MidCoast Stories team, Janine Roberts and Penny Teerman, the Gallery in early 2020 hosted the fabulous exhibition The Forgotten Works of Pixie O’Harris and Olaf Harris, curated by Sue Mitchell. The project was made pos...sible with the support of over 60 volunteers including a special conservation team under the expert guidance of Tracey Golds. Congratulations to all involved! The Manning Regional Art Gallery is a service of MidCoast Council and the annual program is support by the NSW Government through Create NSW.

12.01.2022 I'm sure everyone has experienced puppets sometime in their lives. We are currently showing an amazing collection of over 70 marionette puppets by artist Bruce Rowland, who was a member of the Tintookie Troup in the 1960s and formed the Newcastle Marionette Theatre in the 1970s. The exhibition continues until September 20

11.01.2022 Material Sound brings together a group of contemporary artists who each create an experience of sound within installations and apparatus constructed from everyday materials. Sound is often thought of as immaterial and while perpetually present there is no such thing as true silence it is frequently neglected. A visual experience will commonly be afforded primacy over an aural one. Recently the contemporary arts have turned to sound and in doing so have incorporated a grea...ter spectrum of the senses. Vicky Browne is based in the Blue Mountains. Her practice is concerned with familial sound technology, music culture and consumption. Her sculptural objects seem to have come from an arts and crafts workshop rather than an electronics warehouse, for which doing rather than consuming was the key objective. There is a playful undercurrent to her work that addresses our use of technologies as a material that signposts popular culture.
