Last chance to see ‘Of Thread and Stone’ at the New Taipei City Art Museum, the exhibition features three paintings by Ngen’gi wumirri artist Kieren Karritpul.

Drawing on New Taipei City’s textile and mining industries, “Of Thread and Stone” reimagines a museum in progress, where groups and objects from different geopolitical backgrounds and time periods delineate cultural narratives that are at once similar and distinct.

Closing this Sunday 14 June, 2026.

Kieren Karritpul; (detail) ‘Big Dilly Bag’, 2025, acrylic on canvas, 177 x 140 cm, 69 3/4 x 55 1/8 in. ‘Yerrkerre Syew’, 2025, graphic marker on paper, 78 x 53 cm, 30 3/4 x 20 7/8 in. ‘Five Fish Traps’, 2025, acrylic on canvas, 139.5 x 122.5 cm, 54 7/8 x 48 1/4 in.

Continuing in the gallery this week is Australian artist Eleanor Louise Butt’s solo exhibition, titled ‘Unfolding Fields’.

These paintings operate as sites of embodied experience and entangled encounters. They are connected, open-ended events in which no mark feels final, and clarity is intentionally held at bay. In the studio, works are improvised in the moment, allowing intention and ambiguity to unfold through the embodied process of painting. They reflect a desire for immersion within a scene, or within the painting itself. In this way, the paintings function as worlds of their own, connected to the all-at-onceness of lived sensation, unfolding at varying scales and intensities.

On view through 27 June, at 37 Chapel Street, Marrickville, 2204.

“Everything about a painting doesn’t have to be revealed in order for it to be understood, felt or experienced by a viewer” - Eleanor Louise Butt

Working intuitively across layers of gesture and colour. Eleanor’s paintings explore abstraction as an immersive and embodied experience.
