Dialogue with Dissonance

Exhibition and Shows

25 Jan 2026 to 1 Feb 2026 Once Only Event

“Dialogue with Dissonance” is an exhibition of works by a group of local artists exploring the human disposition to live with contradiction. This contemporary series, created in a range of media and approaches, allows each artist to interpret the disparity between what is seen and what is expected to be seen. It considers how people express themselves both collectively and individually by creating tension through different forms, relationships and meaning.

It is a reality that viewers only get to see artworks when they are completed and observe them with their own set of internal attitudes, behaviours and unconscious bias. What goes on behind the scenes, from concept, composition, and colour choices to deciding when a work is ‘finished’, manifests in the audience’s decision to stop and make sense of what they see. Through dissonance, audiences develop a more thought-provoking experience as they tap into the human desire to make order out of disorder.

This exhibition re-opens 2 January and runs until 1 February.
