Artist Talk: Friday 3 December, 5 - 6 pm

Closing Reception: Friday 3 December, 6 - 8pm

For the 2021 River Capital Commission, Melbourne-based artist Rob McLeish presents HEADLESS, his most expansive institutional project to date. Unfolding across the gallery spaces and foyer volumes at Gertrude Contemporary, HEADLESS reprises a selection of key sculptural works of the past decade and introduces a number of newly produced works enabled through the commission. Taking form as a total environment orchestrated by the artist in response to the architecture of the spaces, HEADLESS brings new and recent works into dialogue to focus on the sculptural realm of his practice.

Rob will discuss the exhibition and his broader practice with Jen Berean on the final weekend of HEADLESS.
