Double Hitch

Double Hitch is the rumoured group show in a scout hall that fellow artist (and a bit more) Adam Veikkanen and I are putting together -it is now a reality and should be written into diaries!



Roping together installation, drawing, sculpture, video and music, Double Hitch is an exhibition featuring works by eight emerging artists who have studied at the ANU School of Art, and who have all grown up in Canberra. Using materials found in their homes, on the streets, in the scrub, at the op-shop, each artist ties together their ideas of warmth, community, friendship and reminiscences of a childhood spent in the suburbs of Canberra.
This exhibition, held inside the heritage-listed O’Connor Scout Hall and away from the traditional gallery space, welcomes all members of the public to view the work and become entangled with their local artists and welcomed into Canberra’s thriving art scene.
Featuring works by:
Adam Veikkanen
Fiona Veikkanen*
Bettina Hill*
Hannah Bath
Chris Carmody
Tim Dwyer
Poppy Malik
 Luke Penders.
Opening Night Friday 29th of April, 6pm.
Continues Saturday 30th and Sunday 1st from 10am until 5pm.
O’Connor Scout Hall: Cnr Boronia Drive and Hovea Street, O’Connor.
*Both Fiona Veikkanen and Bettina Hill are currently residents of CCAS.
