Main Gallery: April 23 - July 18, 2010

Crossfire 2 on display in the Main Gallery, 2010
 

Reprising one of 2008's favourite exhibitions, Crossfire 2 showcases and explores further connections between Wagga Wagga Art Gallery's two great collections - the National Art Glass Collection and the Margaret Carnegie Print Collection. Once again, Crossfire examines the collections in cross-disciplinary and innovative ways, breaking down the barriers between media and incorporating creative methodologies. The exhibition features a number of recent acquisitions of prints and glass as well as some works rarely displayed.

Crossfire includes artists who have creatively responded to works by other artists, processes such as etching and engraving which are used in both media, and pairings of prints and glass that have thematic and conceptual resonances. Crossfire also highlights many of the most prominent artists in Wagga Wagga Art Gallery's collections, including John Olsen and Nick Wirdnam, Hossein Valamanesh and Gerry King, and George Baldessin and Nick Mount.
