thisplace. opening










Thank you so much to everyone who came along to the opening of thisplace!  It was a brilliant turn out and I really appreciate everyone's support.  And thank you to Town Hall Gallery who are brilliant to work with and put on awesome openings!  I lugged my camera to the opening but of course didn't take a single photo, luckily THG took some photos on the day.

There's still plenty of time to see the work and contribute to the installation as the show is on until the 22nd.  Plus I'll be in the gallery doing an artist talk on Saturday 14th February from 1pm.  Following the talk there will be an Art Hunt where the audience will be invited to hunt for art treasure in the building it's going to be fun!

thisplace. exhibition opening this Saturday!

Well, the day is almost here!!  I'm so excited to see the show finally come together!  


thisplace. has been an ambitious project for me as I've created so many elements for the show; a photographic series, two performance films, an interactive installation, an Art Hunt, and activities for the children.  The exhibition breaks the barriers of the traditional white cube gallery and embraces the chaos of being a parent.   

I've definitely experienced first hand how difficult it can be to attend exhibitions and experience art with young children so it was imperative to create interactive art in a family friendly space.  And, hopefully, we can open an honest and non-judgmental conversation about what it’s really like to be a mother.  To encourage the conversation to continue after attending the exhibition, the audience is welcome to photograph how they’ve experienced the show and share on social media using the tags #thisplace #townhallgallery #ilonanelson
