24. This Land of No Horizon
Adam Gibson
25 September- 29 September
Australia is so big, the horizon could almost be said to be "never ending"; as if it is only the limits of our own vision that creates an ending, whereas in reality, the land stretches on (seemingly) forever. There is mystery in that endlessness.

26. networked://
Justin Balmain
9 October- 13 October
My examination of the interrelationships between physical and virtual social models have resulted in sculptural works that move between concrete and virtual form, sometimes blurring the lines between the two. Engaging in online social networks and offline subcultures, I create works that rely both on physical outcomes, and others that remain within digital space.

29. Artifact Cartoons
Samuel James
6 November- 10 November
Artifact Cartoons is a collection of research-animation videos which explore hybrid mechanisms of perception. Through a combination of morphic resonance and accidental encounters, video composition transfers new, animistic phenomena. As we occupy the world it is seen through our interference. Video as a re-animator of the inanimate and simultaneously a displacement of seeing.

33. One Thing You Lack
Aaron Moore
4 December- 8 December
What if the sale of any one of the items on this card could save a child's life? Are we obligated to sell it?
34-year-old artist and international aid worker, Aaron Moore's latest exhibition aims to put the teachings of Jesus Christ and moral philosopher and atheist, Peter Singer, to the test, by literally selling every item he owns and giving it to the poor. Come along and perhaps you might make a purchase that could quite literally save a life.
