The exhibition will be opened online by Joanna Gilmour from the NGA at 6pm, today, Thursday May 21. The show may be viewed at photoaccess.org.au until June 20.
ART Gallery of New South Wales director Michael Brand says the gallery will reopen on June 1 and so will its Brett Whiteley Studio in Surry Hills. They are currently putting safety measures in place, he says, such as limiting visitor numbers while COVID restrictions are in place through timed ticketing and ensuring social distancing and recommended hygiene measures. Free of charge to the public will be the collection galleries, the 22nd Biennale of Sydney: NIRIN and three exhibitions: “Shadow Catchers” and “Under the Stars” both seen briefly before the gallery closed and Brand’s own curated show, “Some Mysterious Process”.
