“She was like a park that had never once removed its Don’t Walk on the Grass signs.” – Elizabeth Harrower Two people can only get so close. CLOSER gathers a group of artists concerned with the elusive nature of intimacy. Before we get any closer to these works, there are a myriad of obstacles in our way. In this special exhibition esteemed artists from ARC ONE Gallery, PAT BRASSINGTON, ROSE FARRELL & GEORGE PARKIN, and HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT, are joined by Grace Stevenson, the recipient of the 2023 ARC ONE Artist Opportunity awarded to a graduating student from the VCA Masters or Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) program. This marks the second year that ARC ONE has partnered with Victorian College of the Arts to present this award, and we are proud to be supporting this exceptional graduate.
