The GRAG rotates a selection of the City of Greater Geraldton Art Collection in the Stairwell Gallery

An exhibition featuring landscapes and companion works drawn from Geraldton’s own Art Collection, reflecting on our relationship with the land that holds, feeds and homes us.

REMOTLEYCLOSE is about the happiness and sorrow of migrating, leaving home and reinvention elsewhere. The artists contemplate both ‘home and away.’ Is ‘home’ simply made by adding together time + safety + familiarity as the geographer Yi Fu Tuan tells us? The question of how people turn a foreign space into a known place or a home is embedded into most of Furque and Eastaugh’s work.
