The White Rabbit Gallery has reopened again!
Its current exhibition, AND NOW, is a continuation of the gallery’s tenth anniversary celebrations and has been rescheduled to stay open until January 2021, so you have plenty of time to pop in for a visit. As always, the exhibition is free to the public, and there are mandatory check-ins and hand sanitisations at the front door to ensure COVID19 compliance.
As they do for every exhibition, the internal architecture of the gallery has been completely rebuilt, with walls in different places and new rooms constructed to house the different artworks. I’m always raving about the creative genius of David Williams’ curatorial decisions; AND NOW certainly upholds the exemplary standard.
Zhu Jinshi’s The Ship of Time (2018) is a definite highlight…
It’s made up of 14,000 sheets of xuan paper (fireproof rice paper), 1800 pieces of fine bamboo and 2000 cotton threads. Talk to any of the gallery attendants and they’ll tell you that they were all involved in reassembling the work over several months…
A slow walk through the tunnel is permitted, providing visitors are very careful…
The gallery is asking guests to comply with the strict COVID19 safety measures outlined on their website, and it’s worth mentioning that they won’t be permitting groups (we went as a couple and that seemed to be fine). Also, there is limited lift access at the moment, and their usual guided tours are on hold for now. Don’t let that stop you from visiting though, because AND NOW is completely brilliant! ♥
Not sure what to say, certainly an extraordinary piece of work. I did look him up and read the Press release. I’ll be interested to hear what others have to say.
Hope to see it when travel outside our state becomes an option
Celia another of your spot on introductions of what Sydney has to offer. Love being able to walk to The White Rabbit Gallery from the station, so handy for interstate visitors and being fascinated by contemporary PRC art. Always as you say, superbly curated. Thanks for the update!
Thank you so much for sharing
