Announcing Chris Bond as the winner of the 2017 $12,000 BalletLab McMahon Contemporary Art Award

27/06/17

Chris Bond’s installations and paintings adopt the conventions of museum display to convey unlikely, often fantastic narratives and fabrications with closely worked detail in order to play with knowledge and perception. Bond studied Fine Art at RMIT in the mid-1990s and has exhibited since 2000. He undertook a studio residency at Gertrude Contemporary in 2001, and has since featured in numerous group and solo exhibitions at venues including the ACCA, Gertrude Contemporary, Centre for Contemporary Photography, NGV and Heide Museum of Modern Art among others.

Chris's exhibition will be held at Temperance Hall from Thursday 24 August - 3 September with a media preview on Wednesday 23 August.
