CATHERINE O’DONNELL ‘Beyond the Shadow’ Book Launch at Orange Regional Gallery

September 14, 2024

The book launch for Catherine O’Donnell’s exhibition publication ‘Beyond the Shadow’ is on 16.09.22, 6:00pm, at Orange Regional Gallery and is supported by the Gordon Darling Foundation. The book features essays by Lucy Stranger, Head Curator at Orange Regional Gallery, and Geoff Ashely, Built Heritage Specialist, and a foreword by Dr Niomi Sands, Director of Grafton Regional Gallery, and Bradley Hammond, Director of Orange Regional Gallery.

The event will include a discussion between the artist and Geoff Ashely, in conversation with Lucy Stranger. The panel will discuss the ways in which Catherine’s survey show ‘Beyond the Shadow’ deconstructs and humanises mid-century public housing and explores the social complexity of the fibro house within Australian history and culture.

The exhibition ‘Beyond the Shadow’ will be on show at Orange Regional Gallery from 9.07. – 2.10.22 and at Grafton Regional Gallery from 11.02. – 16.04.23.

The book is available for purchase at the Gallery reception. Read more and RSVP.
