Continuum
The Australian Ceramics Association Members’ Exhibition

A continuum is formed by an element or value connected to the values that occur before and after it. A continuum represents a spectrum and a sequence. In a continuum there is no abrupt separation, instead there is connection and variation from one element to the next.

Ceramics today is a broad field, with practice shaped by teachers, mentors, peers, contemporary knowledge, and histories of craftspeople and artists going back thousands of years. We sit side by side in our community, with strong connections between emerging and established makers, and across varied expressions of ceramics practice.

Staged at Noosa Regional Gallery, this exhibition brings together 90 small-scale ceramic works from across the country, displayed in a continuous and rhythmic line around the gallery’s perimeter, emphasising both the diversity and the common threads coursing through contemporary Australian ceramics.

Colourful Language
Fabrizio Biviano 

18 July to 13 September 2026 |  Noosa Regional Gallery

Melbourne-based painter, Fabrizio Biviano has amassed fifty small-scale paintings of a common subject. The grey-scale depiction of roughly squeezed paint tubes, positioned like portraits in their individual picture planes, gather in one part of the Gallery, leaving the surrounding walls bare. These empty spaces, in turn, amplify the presence of the still lives clustered en masse.

At first there’s a self-similarity to the paintings that Biviano gives us – doppelganger depictions of tubes skilfully painted again and again. On closer inspection, the gifts of these works are in their individual titles – painted on the flat surface of each tube’s label, squeezed into subtly undulating 3D forms. Names like ‘Side Eye Green’, ‘Chlorine Haze’ and ‘Guilty Pleasures’ lend a sinister tone to the otherwise ordinary objects.

They draw into question what associations words bring to objects, in this case, metaphorically colouring the otherwise monochrome paint.
