| DATES: 28 March – 20 April 2019 OPENING NGHT: 27 March, 6–9pm LOCATION: Rayner Hoff Project Space OPENING TIMES: Monday–Saturday, 11am–5pm Hardenvale – our home in Absurdia is a real-scale, immersive, house-like environment by Australian artists Catherine O’Donnell, Kellie O’Dempsey and Todd Fuller. Through drawing, projection, built form, sound and movement, this collaborative project references the architecture of 1960s Western Sydney Government housing as well as spaces the group describe as ‘the cultural fringe of Australia’. Crossing three generations, these artists’ re-imagine lived domestic space while expanding the practice of drawing to create an intimate and unsettling experience. Harvesting images from personal narratives of imperfect moments (both familiar and strange), Hardenvale is a humble dwelling made from drawing in which to spend, loose or ind time. This installation invites visitors to reflect on their own experiences and memories of home. Image: Todd Fuller, Catherine O’Donnell and Kellie O’Dempsey, Hardenvale 2019. |

Dobell Drawing Prize #21 Finalists
Wednesday 3 April, 1–2pm, Black Theatre
Hardenvale – our home in Absurdia is a real-scale immersive environment by artists Catherine O’Donnell, Kellie O’Dempsey and Todd Fuller. Through drawing, projection, built form, sound and movement, this collaborative project references the architecture of 1960s Western Sydney housing, as well as a space the group describes as ‘the cultural fringe of Australia’.
Crossing three generations, these artists re-imagine lived domestic settings while expanding the practice of drawing to create an experience that is intimate, unsettling and humorous. Challenging the definition and pushing the boundaries of drawing, Hardenvale brings together O’Donnell’s representational drawing and O’Dempsey’s digital drawing applications alongside Fuller’s hand-drawn animations to conjure an uncanny, yet familiar home.
Please join exhibiting artists Catherine O’Donnell, Kellie O’Dempsey and Todd Fuller for artist talks moderated by NAS Gallery Curator Judith Blackall.
