| SOUTHBANK |
| HRAG JUBILEE HALL 21 ROBERTS AVENUE |
| 24 April 2012 - 27 May 2012 |
Horsham is growing, its edge is no longer defined, the spaces between things are shrinking… |
Southbank will investigate the ever bourgeoning Australian suburb and its forms of domestic architecture through historic and contemporary documentary photography and photo based practices that question, illustrate and celebrate the life of our suburbs. |
| This exhibition features the work of Sydney based photographer Andrew Merry. Taken from a helicopter on Saturday mornings and afternoons, the images feature very few ppeople yet they do document changes in how we live |

The present and the future – HRAG Jubilee Hall |
| |
In 2009 the Federal and Victorian governments each announced $5 million in funding toward the redevelopment of the Horsham Town Hall to co-locate the performing arts and visual arts. To achieve this ambitious project HRAG has relocated to Jubilee Hall for the duration of the project.
While at Jubilee Hall we will not be able to display the Horsham Regional Art Gallery Collection. It will be stored under museum conditions while we work on better understanding, the Mack Jost Collection of Australian Painting and Works on Paper, our nationally significant collection of Australian Photography, and our collection of works that document the Wimmera.
Our exhibition program at this time will, continue to bring the best in Australian visual culture to Horsham, explore what it is to be a regional art gallery, explore artists that are held within our collection, experiment with what an exhibition is, and present the work of leading practitioners from our region.
Join us at Jubilee Hall as we experiment and get ready to represent the Collection in our renovated home in Wilson Street in 2014. |
