Hardware

12 September - 13 October

Hardware brings together six Sydney artists working in the junction between sculpture and painting. These artists consider the relationship between the physical matter that forms a work and the 'matter' or idea that informs it. Each artist uses materials not commonly applied to art making, such as prefabricated interior moulding, sheets of poured house paint, plastic and resin. Colour is also a vital textural and aesthetic element. Hardware investigates the role of materiality in the process of art making and tests the limits of what can be called painting.
