SMH: Review – Tracey Moffat’s Portals and Kirtika Kain’s Corpus

SMH: Review – Tracey Moffat’s Portals and Kirtika Kain’s Corpus

Article by John McDonald

NAS alumna Kirtika Kain’s new exhibition Corpus at Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery is reviewed by John McDonald in Spectrum. “Her debut exhibition in Oxley’s smaller gallery is really impressive, showing a willingness to experiment with materials and flirt with chaos that most artists don’t achieve until much later in their careers.”

NAS Library is proud to launch their 2025 Library Stairwell Gallery programming with this years LSG show for Queer Contemporary, ‘Subtexts’, opening this Thursday 13 February.  ‘Subtexts’ unites four artists whose work demonstrates the complexities of queer identity, each considering their own personal relationship with queerness. The show offers alternative narratives and styles that challenge notions of queer uniformity, opting to explore the undertones and implications of queerness as a dislocated front.  ‘Subtexts’ asks of the ambiguous term; Are we united by virtue of our difference, or rather the unique positions it presents us?
