 Venice BiennaleJuly to August 2015 Selected by the Australia Council for the Arts to be a venue attendant for the Australia Pavilion at the 2015 Venice Biennale. |  In Tandem, 2014Playing the role of creative matchmaker, the curator, Olivia Welch, paired together artists to see what two minds and four hands produce when working in tandem. This project was not solely concerned with the end product - the entire process was captured and documented on the Brenda May Gallery blog, accessible from the website. |  Mighty Small, 2013Artwork on an immense scale often enthralls and consumes, whereas smaller works captivate on a much more intimate level, drawing the viewer in for closer inspection. This exhibition will not simply be concerned with works that are little, but works that defy the very notion of small meaning less or denoting an absence. It will present work that is compact, but is in every way just as powerful, notable and spectacular. |
 OF LIGHT, 2012‘OF LIGHT’ is the debut exhibition curated and mediated by YOLK Collective. It is an exhibition centered on manipulations of light, luminosity and electricity. This is a broad theme encompassing works that conceptualise notions of light, and explore visual elements of contrast and chiaroscuro, while also encompassing works using lights or mediums of a luminescent nature. |
