Colour Working/Working Colour

Colour Working/Working Colour
Fiona and Sidney Myer Gallery
14 March – 12 April 2025

Colour Working/Working Colour draws attention to the functionality of colour. Referencing colour charts and the process of colour sampling, the paintings, video, sculpture, prints and collages can be considered as systematic arrangements of colour that allude to an infinite range of possibilities. Forming the spine of the exhibition is a series of prints and publications by Josef Albers. Most of this material relates to the Interaction of Color, first published in 1963. Originally published as an extensive commentary and series of exercises alongside 80 separate folders, the work was designed to encourage physical, perceptual and intellectual interaction. The skin or walls of the gallery feature works by Peter Atkins, Anna Finlayson, Minaal Lawn, Taree Mackenzie and David Serisier.
