Being in my 60s Prostate Cancer has been a regular part of conversations in my world for at least a decade. With that background Manuel Pfeiffer’s exhibition was a combination of quite confronting images and panels that were funny. The representations of various aspects of this condition were wonderful in their touching engagement with a deadly but regularly slow moving condition.

Five artists five contrasting approaches. The art in this exhibition provides some rich diversity – blocky abstract high gloss paintings, delicate graphite works that are mainly paper with small scale images, classical pastel coloured pottery, concrete with embedded resin all combine to show a rich representation of artistic approach.
The artists are Bryna Bambury, Nikki Chopra, Eliya Nikki Cohen, Chelsea Kalogiannidis, Holly Tranter
The website blurb reads: This exhibition presents the intersection of five peoples’ experiences of daily life in their natural environments. Using different mediums – painting, ceramics, photo prints and lithographs –their experiences are both celebrated and analysed.

The magic of having art institutions that are successful over time is they can then tall a story through art. The current exhibition at the Belconnen Arts Centre featuring a collection of posters from the archive of the Megalo Studio and Gallery tells a story of our social history through posters. Because Megalo hasbeen around for 25 years their poster creators tell a remarkable story of social movements and social moments. The posters tell stories of style change and technological developments. I found the whole set to be a very engaging collection.
