Still Point: Otomys marks 15 years at Villa Alba Museum

13 - 25 NOV 2025

In an era of cultural clamour, art offers us a rare respite - that of quiet contemplation.

Set within the layered architecture of the historic Villa Alba Museum, this exhibition brings
together contemporary works by emerging and established artists from Australia and abroad,
all of whom are deeply engaged with process and philosophy in their respective practices

However varied in medium; from sculpture to painting, textile and print, these works reward
our watchful stillness with a gently resonating presence that extends beyond material form.

Still Point is an invitation to linger in this attentive calm.
