THE HUM + THE BUZZ / Neolite Gallery
3 Jun - 3 Aug 2022
NEOLITE is proud to present:
THE HUM AND THE BUZZ Artists in Neon
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Neolite Gallery and its inaugural exhibition “The Hum and The Buzz” showcasing art that celebrates the electrifying medium of Neon and the artists behind the glow.
Platforming an incredible line-up of artists, this unique exhibition will feature works incorporating glass and light to explore neon’s versatility as an artform and illuminate its long and colourful history in our towns and cities. For a unique experience of glass, fire and electricity, join us for our grand opening on Friday 3 June from 6pm at 19 May Street, St Peters.
The opening night will include demonstrations in the artisan skill of neon glass blowing. We are also excited to launch our brand-new program of neon glass bending courses and artist residencies to promote this rare and specialized medium in Australia.
Neolite acknowledges the traditional owners of the lands on which our exhibition is held, The Gadigal and Wangal clans of the Eora nation, and their Elders, past and present.

Parallel Wanderings / The Concourse, Chatswood
27 Jan - 20 Feb 2022
A Willoughby City Council curated exhibition exploring contemporary notions of landscape and our changing relationship with nature.
Parallel Wanderings 双行游 explores how contemporary Australian artists with Chinese cultural roots reinterpret and draw from Chinese landscape traditions, and present the notion of ‘landscape’ through the contemporary mediums of sculpture, photography, installation and performance art. Through their different mediums, this group of artists reflect on the importance of nature and their own personal connection to the natural world. As the parameters around contemporary art practices continue to expand, the landscape genre continues to adapt with it, highlighting present-day issues, including Climate Change and urbanisation.
ARTISTS: Thomas C. Chung, WeiZen Ho, Karen Lee, Pamela Leung, Ruth Ju-shih Li, Dapeng Liu, Jayanto Tan, Laurens Tan, Catherine Woo and Tianli Zu
Chatswood Year of the Tiger Festival is the North Shore’s premier Lunar New Year celebrations presented by Willoughby City Council.
Parallel Wanderings 双行游 is part of Human Beings and Nature Are One 天人合一, an exhibition series delivered in partnership by Willoughby City Council and Institute for Australian and Chinese Arts & Culture.

SHADES OF RED IV / Incinerator Art Space
14 Apr - 2 May 2021
An exhibition of abstract paintings, installations and interactive performance by Pamela Leung.
Shades Of Red lV, 2021 presents an exhibition of mixed media, installation and painting. Pamela Leung explores themes such as the mundane routines of everyday life, relationships, connections, displacement, and the diaspora. She shares her personal migratory experience with the audience, while also allowing them to reflect on the broader ideas of identity and displacement. The colour red takes on a significant symbolic status in her work, representing the differing emotional perspectives of Western and Eastern cultures. Further, she sees red as the very colour that runs through us, despite what colour skin we are.

FRACAS ONE / Articulate Project Space
15 - 17 Jan 2021
FRACAS ONE shows the work of Lisa Andrew, Pamela Leung, Tara McIntosh, Raymond Matthews, Margaret Roberts, Kit Bylett, and Sue Callanan.
FRACAS continues Articulate’s experiment with exhibition practice begun with FAIRISLE, FERAL, FERRET, FERMENT and FROLIC FREEZE in previous years. It presents the exhibition as a changing site by re-contextualising each artwork with new works installed in the gaps left by the departure of works that were installed earlier. This weekly coming and going of artworks is a slow and progressive art-dance, each step of which is seen by coming to each of its six Friday-Sunday iterations until Feb 22. Opening events are each Saturday 1-5pm.
