Announcing 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘴, a contemplative new group exhibition considering the importance of solitude through contemporary art practice.

Featuring more than 30 works from the Michael Buxton and @unimelb Collections, 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘴 looks to the ‘after hours’ as a metaphor for rest, privacy and temporary seclusion from peers and public. Rather than focusing on notions of loneliness and despair, artists demonstrate the power of reflection and singular focus to reveal things ‘unseen’.
