JamFactory Icon: Catherine Truman: no surface holds and As Far as The Eye Can See exhibitions will officially open at a joint event held at the gallery on Friday 5 April 2019 at 6pm. 

“JamFactory Icon: Catherine Truman: no surface holds exhibition opened in Tamworth last Saturday and has been extremely popular so far,” explained Tamworth Regional Gallery Director, Bridget Guthrie.   

Catherine Truman's practice is renowned for its diversity and incorporates contemporary jewellery, objects, digital image and film installation with a focus upon the parallels between artistic process and scientific method. 

Investigating Truman’s 20 years of collaborative practice at the nexus of art and science, this exhibition will be an important retrospective of the multiple engagements Truman has had working with scientists over this time as well as featuring a new body of work. 

The JamFactory Icon: Catherine Truman: no surface holds will be on display at the gallery until Wednesday 15 May 2019. 

The second exhibition that has been installed this week is As Far as The Eye Can See, curated by Rilka Oakley in association with the Print Council of Australia’s 50th Anniversary celebrations. 

The exhibition portrays similarities and differences of coastal, mountain, desert and island terrain within Australia and will be on display from Saturday 6 April to Sunday 26 May 2019. 

The body of work that features prominent Australian printmakers investigating their local landscapes. It celebrates the breadth and depth of printmaking practice in Australia today and is a stunning reflection of Australia’s unique and varied geography.
