A soft opening preview for the body of work created to be shown in Tasmania’s Penny Contemporary gallery later this year. Continuing with CVW’s signature experimental assemblages addressing elements of process and ritual, this pop-up preview is an opportunity to see the works before they are taken to Hobart for the artist’s solo exhibition, The comfort of shared uncertainty.
Join us for opening night drinks — Thursday, 29 February 6 – 8 pm
