A recap of last night, during which the gallery became Tina Stefanou’s instrument with voice channelled through scaffolding.

In dialogue with the artist’s exhibited video work ‘You Can’t See Speed’ (2025), the performance considered how sound penetrates spaces.

Presented as part of Dimension, on show until 13 June.

Swipe through for details of Dimension at SCA Gallery. Curated by Liam Garstang and Alex Gawronski, the exhibition considers the myriad implications of scale and proportion, bringing together a diversity of perspectives from the global to the parochial, the monumental to the miniscule, the unmissable to the frequently disregarded.

Tomorrow, join us for a performance by exhibiting artist Tina Stefanou from 6pm. Continuing her exploration of voice as an intermedial field and means in contemporary art, Stefanou will perform a live vocal action extending voice into architectural, material, and emotional terrains.

All welcome. 6–7pm, Wednesday 27 May.

Exhibiting Artists: Hany Armanious, Dean Cross, Alex Gawronski, Newell Harry, Biljana Jancic, Anna John, Andrew Lavery, Michelle Nikou, Jacky Redgate and Tina Stefanou.

Held at Liverpool Powerhouse, the conference brings together educators, artists and researchers to consider the future of visual arts education through curriculum reform, contemporary practice and new pedagogical approaches.

🌌🌌SCA staff member and glass artist Cobi Cockburn presents ‘Primary Lines’, a solo exhibition at Dominik Mersch Gallery, on view now until 6 June. 🌌🌌
‘Primary Lines’ explores light as material, working with two elemental forces, light and line. Shaped through encounter, the works unfold as perceptual fields rather than fixed objects.

2026 SCA Alumni Fauvette Loureiro Memorial Scholarship | Deadline Extended: 5pm, Monday 25 May

The SCA Alumni Fauvette Loureiro Memorial Scholarship is open now to all Sydney College of the Arts alumni across two categories: a $15,000 Emerging Scholarship and a $30,000 Mid-career/Established Scholarship.

This year’s judging panel includes Judy Watson, Rachel Kent & Professor Julie Rrap.

Artist Judy Watson is a Waanyi descendant of northwest Queensland. Her ancestry and personal experiences have greatly influenced her artistic practice, which spans a variety of media including painting, printmaking, video, sculpture and installation. She explores themes of migration, survival and recovery, seeking to bring awareness and understanding to these issues. Her work is a powerful means of truth telling and a form of cultural preservation.

Rachel Kent has served as CEO of Bundanon since September 2021. Rachel is an experienced arts leader, art historian and head curator with extensive experience working with international museums and cultural institutions. Prior to her appointment at Bundanon, Rachel was the Chief Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Australia and has presented exhibitions in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the USA, and Canada, including major solo presentations by Do Ho Suh, Doug Aitken, Cornelia Parker, Yoko Ono and Grayson Perry.

Professor Julie Rrap has been a major figure in Australian contemporary art for over 40 years. Since the mid-1970s, she has worked with photography, painting, sculpture, performance and video in an ongoing project concerned with representations of the body. Rrap’s works are held in every major public collection in Australia as well as in many corporate and private collections in Australia and overseas.

✨ Revisiting last month’s workshop and lecture with 2026 Gilbert Fellow Bonita Ely. ✨

Ely invited participants to explore the meanings projected onto keepsakes. Students used their own cherished objects as the starting point for movement-based individual and collaborative performative exercises.

The workshop examined how gesture, posture, proximity, and handling revealed relationships between people and things, and how meaning shifts as bodies moved across different contexts.
