DOT40: Celebrating 40 years

Opening Event: Thursday 10 September, 5:30pm, The Barn. All welcome!

Celebrating four decades of exceptional craftsmanship, DOT40 is a major new exhibition marking 40 years of DOT – formerly Design Objects Tasmania, an organisation that has been at the very heart of Tasmania’s vibrant designer-maker culture since 1986.

Opening this September at The Barn at Rosny Farm, DOT40 is a curated exhibition bringing together the work of remarkable Tasmanian designers and makers. DOT40 will be more than a retrospective; it is an active celebration of the ongoing evolution of craft and design in Tasmania. Supported by the Clarence City Council and Rosny Farm, this showcase is a must-see for anyone passionate about local design and the handmade.

Join us in The Barn this September to experience the legacy, the present, and the bright horizon of Tasmanian design.

Exhibition continues: 11 - 27 Sep 2026.
Rosny Farm is open Weds - Sun, 10am - 4pm

Opening Event:

All welcome!

Power Signals is a painting exhibition by Helen Spencer that looks closely at how old ideas about power are resurfacing in contemporary life. The works draw on mid-century media imagery, particularly photographs that once presented Western male authority, control, and dominance as normal or even admirable. Spencer revisits these images to question what they taught us then, and how their values are re-entering culture now.

is a chaos edit made via doomscrolling. It takes the tone of the terminally online and turns it into a frenetic visual montage portraying yearning through trite aphorisms. The hashtag is self-aware in its cringiness but built on a foundation of technologically induced disarray. This exhibition sees memes and short-form video content as a byproduct of processing uncertainty and fear. It uses the discursive tools of online culture and the tone of the terminally online, transferring muddied expressions of authenticity out of the digital.

Abbie is a multidisciplinary artist working with video, sculpture and text. Informed by popular entertainment, social content and internet slop, their practice looks at new media’s influence on our relationship with personal and collective identity and constructions of self. Abbie has held exhibitions in Australia and overseas and is represented by Penny Contemporary, Hobart.

Last week to see three wonderful animal themed solo exhibitions by Yvette Watt, Iris Blazely and Rosie Treasure. These exhibitions share a fascination with our relationships with the non-human world - whether through wildlife, domestic animals, or the everyday creatures that quietly shape our lives.
