The Mundaring Arts Centre is re-opening after an extensive renovation and asbestos removal programme.



Happy to be presenting this latest exhibition in the new, safe, re-furbished gallery the curators are proud to present the latest in a series of Shire of Mundaring Art Acquisition exhibitions over the years this one, entitled In-material is driven by the concept of materiality leading content.

Curator Ricky Arnold says: "As many university art courses around the country shift their focus in teaching contemporary art to the 'idea' and the 'concept', the skills for making seem to be becoming secondary."



This exhibition is designed to showcase the work and thought of craft practitioners, masters of a wide range of craft materials such as leather, ceramic, emu egg carving, jewellery and textiles.

Ricky Arnold again: "These artists are exemplary examples (sic) of the rich tradition of Western Australian craft practice. Their careers reach out into the world, their knowledge and skills are inspiring a new generation and they all continue to search for new outcomes and learnings to push the boundaries of their making. It all begins in the intimate, in material."

In-Material opens at the Mundaring Arts Centre, 7190 Great Eastern Highway, Mundaring on Friday the 13th of February, running until Sunday the 22nd March.



Entry is free and the Gallery and Shop are open Tuesday-Friday 10am–5pm; Saturday-Sunday 11am–3pm (closed Mondays and Public Holidays)
