Over the years, a number of staff exhibitions have been held that celebrate the remarkable practices of our community. These are often implicit in our work (although there will be surprises), but, we rarely have the opportunity to share and acknowledge publicly. Recent conversations within the School suggested we again hold such an event, this time as an all-staff exhibition, to recognise staff from across the entire School, whether administrative, technical or academic. The ‘all stars’ show was born.

This exhibition encompasses new and in progress works; some greatest hits, some bedroom recordings; some improvised, some in collaboration and some in homage. Not a formal gallery hang; rather, a brief blossoming as we turn the halfway point in the year. A survey and spotlight on the many creative identities that make us what we are.

I am very grateful to Nicholas Bastin, Bronwyn Hughes, and Bella Capezio for co-curating this second iteration with me; also to Ciaran Begley, Carly Fischer, Gracia Haby & Louise Jennison, Paddy Hay, Lindy McSwan and Faiza Rezai for their generous support. Most of all, to those who have taken this opportunity to share, connect and enjoy our collective calling.
