narrative Barratt Galleries - Alstonville

5 March - 4 April 2010
description: An exhibition of small colour etchings - pieces selected from five recent suites including work that resulted  from Christine’s University of Southern Qld McGregor Fellowship for overseas travel. This exhibition is the official launch of the narrative project: a project that questions the hierarchical position of the artist as the most important curator of his or her work. It acknowledges the significance, indeed imperative, of the dialogue between the artwork and its audience: inviting collectors to impose their own narrative on this already narrated work.
opening function: Saturday 6 March 2pm. Afternoon tea and drinks with the artist. RSVP to the gallery 02 6628 0297
gallery details: Barratt Galleries, Budgen Ave, Alstonville. NSW 02 6628 0297
