It ain’t necessarily so...
Mike Brown and the Imitation Realists
18 July 2006 - 1 October 2006
Mike Brown first came to public attention in a 1962 exhibition with Ross Crothall and Colin Lanceley, known collectively as the Imitation Realists.

They produced exuberant, playful and often provocative constructions that were without precedent in Australian art.

Between the lines
Kim Donaldson
7 October 2006 - 3 December 2006
Books radiate imagination. Studied and worn, they carry the imprints of time,
gathering associations and furnishing our intimate lives. The book-lined walls
of the Heide I library contain a wealth of ideas and associations that inspired
Kim Donaldson’s most recent exhibition project, Between the lines.
Adopting the roles of researcher, editor, artist and historian, the exhibition
is the result of Donaldson’s three-year enquiry into the contents of
the library, and the lives and histories inscribed on the pages of its volumes.
Unmasked
Sidney Nolan and Ned Kelly 1950 - 1990
11 November 2006 - 4 March 2007
Sidney Nolan's original Ned Kelly series, painted at Heide during 1946-47, has been widely acclaimed and extensively researched. Much less attention however, has been given to the artist's numerous later representations of the legendary Australian bushranger. This exhibition explores, for the first time, Nolan's ongoing artistic engagement with the Kelly myth after he left Australia permanently in 1953, a fascination that lasted for the next three decades.
