The installation will involve the construction of a series of makeshift scaffolds that will interact with the interior architectural features of the Casula Powerhouse and its adjoining outdoor environment, including a small section of the Georges River and the three tanks on the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre site. The performance-events will involve the artist and members of the Singapore Chinese Opera Institute, who in full traditional operatic dress, will travel and 'perform' on the train that enters and departs from the Casula Powerhouse. Workshops will involve the artist and members of the Singapore Chines Opera Institute presenting innovative cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary activities.

He is an artist who has had an important influence on the current generation of young Australian painters. From its inception, Nixon's work has used an extremely limited range of motifs (the cross and the monochrome) and materials (those not normally associated with the fine art such as masonite and hessian). His work is executed in a straight-forward manner, applying a single coat of paint to unrefined surfaces. EPW: Orange is the most recent development in the artist's Experimental Painting Workshop project which was initiated in the late 1970s. Sarah Cottier Gallery 24 may - 22 July 11.00 am - 6.00 pm, Wed - Sat 585 Elizabeth Street, Redfern 02 9699 3622 www.cottier.com.au sarah@cottier.com.au Landfall Bea Maddock, Robery Macpherson Two of Australia's most important senior artists, one working in Brisbane, the other in Launceston, present major new work in conversation with more conceptual and personal work from the late 1970s. Both have often incorporated words in their paintings, with poetic or satirical intent and with reference to language differences in history, race or class. In the 1990s they have renewed, in surprising ways, the rather discredited category of 'Australian landscape'. Macpherson finds our most common experience of landscape in the small-business flood of improvised roadside signage; Maddock finds our most intense experience of land in an awareness of its past and present ownership, settler and indigenous.

Six artists explore the possibilities of life in the Illawarra Laurens Tan, Aaron Seeto, Hilary Rhodes, Noel McKenna, Laurence Aberhart and Debra Petrovitch (with Machine Vision Software) Is there such a thing as a regional identity? Re/brand? explores how identity is formed, and with the focus upon Wollongong, what is this construction? Featuring work by Laurens Tan, Aaron Seeto, Hilary Rhodes, Noel McKenna, Laurence Aberhart and Debra Petrovitch (with Machine Vision Software), Re/brand? exposes the past, questions the current image of Wollongong and imagines other possibilities.

Szeemann, then the director of the Kassel Documenta, put an exhibition together titled: "I want to leave a nice well-done child here," which show-cased the work of 22 of Australia's most innovative young artists, at the Bonython Gallery in Sydney and the National Gallery of Victoria, between April and June,1971. Project 2/2000 is tracking these 'children' of Szeemann's exhibition, in a way which both revisits the artists and their early works while concurrently showing examples of their recent work, including fixed displays and artist's talks, both live and recorded on videotape/website. The video aspect of the exhibition is crucial as it is to be a conceptual work in its own right, both documentary and self-reflective.
