Black.2; Family Values; Studio Exhibition

Amelia Winata reviews three concurrent group exhibitions in Melbourne galleries: 'Black.2' at Void_Melbourne (15 Nov–20 Dec 2025), 'Family Values' at Futures (6 Dec–20 Dec 2025), and 'Studio Exhibition' at Haydens (6 Dec 2025). The article opens with a metaphor comparing the gallery-goer's experience to the rescue ship Carpathia navigating icebergs, reflecting the glut of end-of-year group shows in Melbourne's commercial spaces. Winata visits each space, describing the deco-chic building housing Void_, the formalist black-themed works by artists like Nick Devlin, Elvis Richardson, Sarah Goffman, and Suzie Idiens, and the broader context of Melbourne's gallery scene.

Artistic discs

Kolkata Ink Studio presented a group exhibition of graphic art at Gallery Charubasona, featuring 18 artists who each contributed two disc-shaped copperplates and matching prints. The works ranged from Manik Kumar Ghosh's clever double-disc brassiere to Partha Pratim Deb's absurd clownish figures, Laxma Goud's restrained goddess imagery, and Rm. Palaniappan's three-dimensional illusions. Other highlights included Siddhartha Ghosh's identity-less human figures, Sukla Poddar's environmental themes, and Swapnesh Vaigankar's archaeological inspirations. The exhibition was described as neat but lacking in challenge, with most works in monochrome and only faint touches of color.

‘Is it possible to come back from this?’: Tehran’s art community on recovering from the 12-day war

Tehran's art community is grappling with the aftermath of the 12-day war between Israel and Iran in June 2025, which has battered the economy, driven up inflation, and slowed art sales as collectors tighten spending.
