Goulburn Bustle
- Oni Friday, February 15 to Saturday March 16, 9am to 5pm on Monday to Friday, 12pm to 4pm on Saturdays, Goulburn Regional Art Gallery. Admission: free.
Goulburn Bustle is an exhibition that presents the breadth of the Gallery's permanent collection, unleashed en masse for the first time in its 37 year history. Whilst collections tell stories, they often draw lines and loops around their histories and locales rather than offering it all along one straight path. Our story begins with The Moffitt Bequest in 1956, continues to today and we hope, well in to the future. Goulburn Bustle features hundreds of works from the collection and has been curated by previous directors Jennifer Lamb and Jane Cush, and current director Gina Mobayed. These works have never before been exhibited together and our intention is to share what should be shared, bring new dialogues to old all the while investigating the idea and relevance of collecting in the public realm today.
