Raymond Warren: Ici et là
Here, the concourse of a train station, where ordinary people rub shoulders with one another, travelling for now inside themselves, their thoughts elsewhere, some wandering, some resting. There, in the background, turned away at the borders, are those for whom the destination and destiny are interwoven.
July 22 to August 24
Sanjay Sundram: The Artist as a Meat-Eating Coal Company
I heard about climate change 25 years ago. Along with many other artists, architects, designers and filmmakers of that time, I set out to spread awareness and make things right. This exhibition is an acknowledgement of our influence...a moody celebration of failure.

Depicting ordinary people and things makes us all art lovers. We use lines to portray, and colour to express, the beautiful things in our hearts and the people around us. Art created in this manner often brings us pleasant surprises.

Irma Gutierrez: Guardian of Unspoken Lives
Twenty-three pieces that explore my interest in giving a voice to those species - their echoes, reflections and shadows - impacted by climate change. At which moment do our thoughts take form, and when do we get lost in them?
July 22 to August 24
Wendy Feldberg: Contained/Uncontained
The natural art materials I create with local plants and minerals communicate meanings to me beyond their substance. My work exploits their time-sensitive properties to allude to transient human experiences of integration and disintegration, loss and recuperation, freedom and restraint.
August 26 to September 21
