John Lurie:works on paper
May, 1 2006-August, 14 2006
P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, New York

By combining text and images in surprising and quixotic ways, Lurie creates a personal mythology that blurs distinctions between real experiences and the imaginary. Through strange and ironic lines like “New York is for idiots” and “If you marry me we can live here,” the watercolors are both brash and sensitive, honest and cavalier, implying a sense of fantastic narrative and extended moments.

Curated by internationally renowned art historian Dr Charles Merewether, it draws on artists from radically different parts of the world working in a wide range of media, and involves a number of sites and venues in Sydney and across Australia.

Samuel Roy-Bois: Improbable and ridiculous
May, 27 2006-August, 20 2006
Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal

Young multidisciplinary artist Samuel Roy-Bois, whose work encompassing drawing, sculpture, installation and performance has earned him growing recognition recently, has been active on the visual arts scene for barely a decade.

Improbable and Ridiculous, his first exhibition in a Québec museum, consists of two brand-new installations, along with a number of drawings. At the core of these uncommon, disconcerting works, with their sense of brooding mystery, even, the question of habitable space immediately comes to the fore, elicited by various incongruities, ambiguities and paradoxes that give us a feeling verging on discomfort.

Bellini and the East
April, 12 2006-June, 25 2006
The National Gallery, London

In 1453 the Ottoman Turks conquered Constantinople, capital of the Christian Byzantine Empire. This focused exhibition will examine images of the Muslim and Christian Eastern Mediterranean that were produced subsequently by the great Venetian painters Gentile and Giovanni Bellini.


Gentile Bellini spent some time in Istanbul as the guest of Sultan Mehmet II, and was fascinated by the Sultan's court and city. The work reflects their knowledge of an d sympathetic interest in both Byzantium, and the Islamic civilisation that followed it.


Highlights of the exhibition will include paintings and drawings produced by artists working in both European and Islamic traditions, including the exquisite 'Seated Scribe'.
