Unlock your creative side this holiday season and visit the Gympie Regional Gallery

On display in The Gympie Times Exhibition Space and Hugo Du Rietz Gallery is Physical Video. 

This exhibition provides a unique opportunity for Gympie audiences to experience key video works from the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) collection. 

Focused on performance and theatricality in video art from the 1970s to the present, these vibrant and thought-provoking works demonstrate how artists use the physical gestures and actions of the human body to illustrate social, political and aesthetic issues.

On display in Gallery 3 is Fringe Dwellers. Hats are the ‘fringe dwellers’ of the head. Local fibre artist Rhonda Rettke explores a variety of fringe dweller concepts in each sculpted hat, ranging from the fringes of where the land meets the sea to the social issues of our urban fringe dwellers.
