The Henry Moore Institute will reopen after refurbishment with an exhibition of work by Hany Armanious, one of Australia’s leading sculptors.

When he was six years old Armanious emigrated from Egypt to Australia and has spoken of his experiences of a cultural shift, relearning the world though its material language as much as its spoken one. His sculpture practice throws into question any certainty of knowing the world through its things, while unravelling the experience of encountering objects for the very first time.

We're from Earth! at Left Bank is a selection of paintings by artist Helen Dryden, featuring imaginary landscapes and their explorers. Helen uses a psychedelic colour palette to create an other-worldly experience.

The paintings explore the artist’s observations of landscape and nature, and delve into imaginary worlds and plants which may be extra terrestrial or fantasy places, or even polluted landscapes. Viewers are invited to invent their own narrative.
