Subversion, some say it is a dirty word, and some believe it is an important value in the shaping and direction of society. Subversive actions draw negative media responses but ultimately are used to defend the environment or fight for human rights. This exhibition was a group show by artists of the northern Rivers exploring the theme 'Subversion' with an exhibition of outstanding subversive art.As it was the Gallery's 18th Birthday the Serpentine Community Gallery team had put together a night of sensational performances to celebrate.

Bound by Opposites by Mim O’Grady, aluminium and paper, 77x94cm
"Bound by Opposites" explores the balance between strength and fragility, permanence and impermanence.
Using aluminium and paper, this artwork challenges traditional notions of resilience and delicacy. The aluminium, rigid and industrial, contrasts sharply with the softness and vulnerability of the paper, yet both materials come together to create a cohesive whole.
This invites viewers to reconsider their perceptions of what is strong or weak, enduring or fleeting.
In the context of the "Subversion” exhibition, this piece challenges us to see beyond opposites, recognising that strength can be found in fragility, and stability can exist within transience
