Visitors are welcome to visit both The Collection and usher Gallery, where these performances will run throughout the day in each venue. Below is a detailed list of the performances scheduled:
Title: Out of Site, Out of Mind
Performers: Jody Connolly & Danielle Swabey
Venue: Usher Gallery
Welcome to the in-between. A place once so worn and loved by those who entered. A place that is always locked. A place to escape. In a place forgotten and discarded, we invite you to notice.

Venue: The Collection (Main Entrance)
Show Times: 10:00am - 16:00pm (15 minutes duration)
Recollection is a journey through the sonic atmospheres of The Collection. Typically, galleries are viewed as being places of quite reflection. However, Recollection transcends this lineal audio experience, exploring and manipulating the sound in and around the galleries.
Title: The Opposite of Armour
Performer: Jennifer Broome
Venue: The Collection (by Medieval Armour)
Show Times: 11:00am - 15:00pm
No voice, No Name, No memories. Behind the glass nothing but an empty shell stands, the ghost of our history and the reminder of my vulnerability.

A navigation [tour guide] of The Usher Art Gallery, that presents a different perspective of The Usher and art galleries, as a whole, using Institutional Critique and Art Attacks. Furthermore, throughout the navigation we will be carefully transporting an empty white frame, following official guidelines, through The Usher.
