The Absolute Piston Gauges exhibition will open at 12pm on Wednesday 26 June. There will be no opening event. The postponement of the APG program was an opportunity for us to reimagine the CAT program and be responsive to our community.
The APG discussion and artists’ event have been reshaped to also accommodate a symposium that will more directly explore the role of art as a way to engage with the political and social climate. This symposium will be the first of an ongoing series of events that will continue these conversations.
Absolute Piston Gauges is an exhibition, artists’ event and symposium that ‘takes the temperature’ of art now. What ideas are artists exploring and what does the art of our current social and political climate look and sound like? We focus on the people who are shaping Tasmania’s ever-changing experimental art scene and provide them with the space to test, present, share and discuss their work. Absolute Piston Gauges was developed under Constellations, an artist-led development program. More information →
