Highrise
12th Feb to 19th March
High rise dwellings have often been seen as the solution to overcrowded living in urban environments. Frequently referred to as communities in the clouds, they aim to address growing populations, urban sprawl and affordable housing. Melbourne like many cities, has seen a spate of developers buying up property in order to build up. But what are the consequences of high density living?

The Magician and the Maiden
Effie Chaniotis
5th June to 4th Aug My art reflects the mythology and storytelling traditions of my Mediterranean background. I consider my paintings and sculptures to be like a frieze or pages of a storybook. As I create them and upon completion they lead me to the next part of the narrative. This element of mystery and their totemic and iconic style gives me the impression I may be engaging in a subtle form of alchemy or magic. After painting Starmen for a year I created a Magician sculpture and he marked the end of a cycle. The Head Dress Maiden appeared soon after and together they changed the themes in my work from starscape and flying men to dense pattern and arabesque motifs and feminine characters.
