Deakin University Art Gallery presents Conversations in Space: a group exhibition in the form of an inter-generational dialogue between artists and objects in virtual and real spaces.

Curated by Deakin’s James Lynch the exhibition presents new works by senior Australian artist Helen Maudsley alongside works by Alex Hobba, Noriko Nakamura and Laura Skerlj. Conversations in Space is an interplay between painting, animation and sculptural practices focusing on object relations and their proxies and stand-ins, in a flat time world: where our world view appears constantly moving but much remains the same.
