Something New, Something Blue

Something New, Something Blue

New and earlier works from the Permanent Collection
Exhibition Dates: 18 July – 30 August 2015
Curated by Ellie Ray and Emily Kennel

Something New, Something Blue showcases recent acquisitions alongside a series of previously acquired works from the Devonport City Council (DCC) permanent collection. The exhibition marries new works with earlier pieces from the collection’s history, effectively borrowing a shared thematic interest in ‘the blues’. An examination of the psychological effects of the colour blue threads this exhibition together as the included works circle changing landscapes, aural dimensions, and flirt with the macabre.
