2 x 2 presents two solo exhibitions by Ross O’Meara and Jacob Cartelli, each artist exploring the beauty of colour and form in distinctive ways. Ross O’Meara’s translucent linework appears to float on the surface paper, the elegant, whimsical compositions possessing a soft energy that speaks to slow, meditative movement. Jacob Cartelli’s paintings are characterised by formations of juxtaposed colour, the formal elements fusing together to form a thick, rich, saturated field from which figures and objects emerge.

MITHU SEN: mOTHERTONGUE
Curator: Max Delany
Continuing the ACCA International series of solo exhibitions by influential artists on the international stage, ACCA presents a major solo exhibition featuring new commissions and existing work by New Delhi-based artist Mithu Sen. Mithu Sen explores myths of identity, and their intersection with the structures of our world, whether social, political, economic, or emotional. Sen works fundamentally as a performer, tangling with the politics of language, disciplining of bodies, conventions of society, and polite impositions of the art world. Known for her provocative, alluring, and playful examination of these hierarchies, Sen is committed to perpetual unbecoming through performative interventions, symbolic and linguistic counter-narratives and intricate territorial tracings. mOTHERTONGUE surveys the past two decades of Mithu Sen’s compelling art practice, including a series of major new installations. The exhibition is presented as an illuminated mind-map. As a constellation of image and word associations which move between visible surfaces and interior states, mOTHERTONGUE charts the ways in which language is channelled into forms as diverse as drawing, sculpture, media and performance to create complex artworks which elude definitional categories, institutional power structures and imposed identities related to race, gender, ethnicity and location.
