The Promise of Total Automation
These days, machines and devices have their own means and ways to process information. They communicate with one another and with their environment without a human agent. This autonomy as well as the disappearance of their technologically defined appearance moves them into the vicinity of ritual artefact bearing their own meaning, and – whether people intended them to or not – seem to live a life of their own.

Dean Melbourne is an artist whose oeuvre is dizzying in its profusion of interpretations. Religious, literary and metaphysical allusions saturate his imagery with symbolism and give it a refreshing depth. Dominika Mackiewicz reviews

Chantal Joffe
Gestural brevity leaves the paintings somewhat fragmented: Joffe's works display the speed at which they are executed. Drips run down the canvas over foreground detail and lines overlap. It is as if she paints as quickly as possible so as to preserve more honestly her fleeting impression of the subject she is so desperate to capture. Review by Benjamin Murphy
