A surprisingly expansive exhibition space which a present is holding three diverse art installations. I went to see Lisa Sammut's 'How the earth will approach' and found it quite meditative and immersive. Eye lash horizons left me confused. The gallery staff was very kind and helpful.

Free, funky, fabulous.

This is near where I live and i really appreciate the value odds the recent exhibition (part of the Sydney Biennale). Moving, confronting, beautifully presented. I especially loved the four screen mining expose and the gold and blue walls. And the integration of aboriginal and white cultural history.

Reception staff were friendly and welcome. I felt absolutely allowed to go in.

The UNSW Galleries are situated in the School of Art & Design on the Paddington campus of the University of South Wales. The art galleries are free to explore. There are two levels, both interconnected or accessible through two separate entrances, one on each level. The current exhibit is part of the 2024 Sydney Biennale, a wonderful collection of Australian and international art pieces. Once you're done with the galleries, make sure to tour the campus and the area around it.

It's not open Sunday at 1:50pm when map shows them to be open. The current Lisa Sammut exhibition  goes on until the 24th of Nov so why is the gallery closed? Why isn't there a notice anywhere on the website or Google maps?

No body picked up either when I tried calling the number listed here. I took time out of my day, hoping to see Lisa Sammut's work again, ubered here, and will be returning to Melbourne on Tuesday. So disappointing.
