The ARNDT Collection is delighted to announce the loan of two works by Douglas Kolk "Garden" (2008) and "Untitled" (2008) in the forthcoming group exhibition "The Shape of Things to Come" curated by Danny Lacy at the Shepparton Art Museum.

Opening on the 22nd of February, the show runs until the 9th of June.

The exhibition features SAM collection works paired with key loans, presenting a selection of evocative and inspiring artworks that invite us to think about the future, through both fantastical apocalyptic visions of disaster and utopian ideals of environmental sustainability and connection to place.

Borrowing its name from a 1933 science fiction novel written by H.G. Wells that imagines an alternative future society, The Shape of Things to Come provides a window into an unknown future where artists investigate ideas of progress, transformation, and adaptation through diverse mediums and bold visions. The artworks grapple with both the destruction we face and the potential for renewal, offering a powerful reflection on how art can act as both a warning and a catalyst for change.

Further exhibiting artists include: Penny Byrne, Penny Evans, Bridget Hillebrand, Locust Jones, Lin Onus, John Perceval, Annika Romeyn and Anne Wenzel.
