DOCKWORKS is a CAST Gallery off-site project in partnership with Hobart City Council and Tasmanian Ports Authority. Five artists were selected to install works around the docks of Hobart as part of Hobart Summer festival.

CAST enjoys a lively input from the Tasmanian arts community with the annual Members' Exhibition. This years exhibition contains over 90 exhibitors/members whose media ranges from painting to video to the hand made and everything else in-between.

CURATOR: PETER HUGHES // Home Again is an exhibition of a range of Tasmanian craft curated by the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery’s curator of Decorative Arts, Peter Hughes. The work selected for the exhibition have two main characteristics. The first is that the use of the object, and hence the interaction of a potential user or viewer with it, has been considered from the outset. A second characteristic is that the work has not been made specifically for exhibition.

Fellow Anthropoid proposes that the important point of meaning in the process of making art, the point where art happens, is not in the private studio of the artist (during the production stage of the work), but in the gallery (in the reception stage of the work). This exhibition proposes that the push-pull of communication between these points produces a flux of meaning where self-identification becomes confused, form collapses into formlessness and a split occurs in the world as we look at nothing but ourselves.

CURATOR: MICHAEL EDWARDS // Letitia Street Studios, the exhibition, is a broad consideration of works by twenty-nine artists from the studio membership. Here the works are presented in spaces that reflect the rooms and corridors of a shared studio environment. Artworks produced at the Letitia Street Studios sit alongside more recent works-in-progress from elsewhere, while a number of artists with strong local exhibition profiles have used the opportunity to include new and experimental works produced outside their usual practice.
