A WHISPER AND A HUSH | SOLO | STOCKROOM GALLERY | KYNETON
18 NOVEMBER - 7 JANUARY 2024

A whisper and a hush’ explores concepts of sacred space and religious experience intertwined with the complexities of human memory, perception and the blurring of boundaries between the real and imagined.

By embracing the concept of paramnesia; a phenomenon where memories become distorted or confused, Ország challenges our preconceived notions of what is real and what is not, embracing the fragmented and fragile nature of our recollections whilst contemplating the nature of reality itself.

INTERMISSION | SOLO | STOCKROOM GALLERY | KYNETON
4 DECEMBER - 9 JANUARY 2022

Intermission is an exhibition of drawings, sound and sculpture. This intermission occurs within a liminal space, situated on the sensory threshold. It embraces the dichotomic experience of living within a transitional state - a pause of unknown duration. It leans into the heaviness of stuckness, forced submission, perpetual waiting, letting you surrender and drift away. While simultaneously offering you the drug of hope, to take pause, get lost in reflection, seek nourishment and create your own sanctuary.  Intermission is a bridge between realities.

The soundtrack for this exhibition is composed of field recordings gleaned from the rainforests of Tasmania and surrounds of Daylesford and spans the duration of a single day.

UTOPIA AND THE UNATTAINABLE: an interview with Becc Ország TOGETHER IN ART | ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES | by Anne Ryan

Melbourne artist Becc Ország is interested in the ways people create monuments and spaces for the sacred, and our capacity to envision utopias and dystopias. Curator Anne Ryan spoke with Ország recently about the visions of perfection that inform her meticulous practice.

Ország’s drawings will be included in the forthcoming exhibition Real Worlds: Dobell Australian Drawing Biennial 2020 at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, opening on 24 October 2020.

EXHIBITION: 'Fantasy of virtue / All things and nothing' at Stockroom

Becc Orszag_fantasy of virtue promo

FANTASY OF VIRTUE / ALL THINGS AND NOTHING | SOLO | STOCKROOM GALLERY | KYNETON
11 AUGUST - 2 SEPTEMBER 2018

Fantasy of virtue / All things and nothing features intricate works on paper by Victorian-based artist BECC ORSZÁG. In this ongoing body of work, ORSZÁG explores 'sehnsucht', a German noun which describes an individual’s unfulfilled longing for an idealistic, unattainable alternate experience, combined with the phenomenon of paramnesia (déjà vu); the distortion of memory in which fantasy is confused with reality. ORSZÁG examines these ideas in relation to concepts of sacred space and religious experience, questioning notions of existence, ritual, pilgrimage and idolatry.

The natural world is a place of extremes – it can be a landscape of fury, of the unforgiving, of the merciless, or the untameable. Yet it is also an environment that can be harnessed - where crops are sown and gathered, where the weather can be predicted, where its mountains and oceans can be traversed. This exhibition brings together represented artists of FLG and selected guest artists who create works on paper within their practice. Whether they’re from drawing, painting or printmaking backgrounds, these artists produce incredibly beautiful and contemporary collectable artworks.
