Cupolas

17 March - 15 April, 2000

Tue - Sun: 11.00am - 6.00pm
Gallery One

David Stephenson


For centuries the dome has symbolised the hemisphere of the cosmos - eternity. At its apex is the all-seeing 'eye of god': suggesting the panopticon, in which actions are controlled by the gaze. David Stephenson has photographed the lavish ornament of many scores of such domes creating a sweeping taxonomy of virtual heavens - a typology of cupolas.

Liquid Scrutiny

Gallery One

Rebecca Cummins


Contrasting with the god's-eye-view of David Stephenson's Cupolas, Rebecca Cummins' Liquid Scrutiny is a tool for spying. Based on a design from 17th century Prague, the artist's wittily constructed 'paranoic dinner party' implicates the viewer in the seduction of secretive surveillance.

Baroccocontinuo

Gallery Two

Stephen Roach


Stephen Roach is an Australian who lives in Italy. This exhibit unfolds around three distinct sites: a garden, an open-air theatre and the family house of the last baroque painter to the Bourbon court in Naples. Rather than document each location, the photographer has created hybrid panoramas, which play on the excessive, sensual and unclassical nature of the baroque.
