Building upon her well received 2007 Art Gallery of New South Wales exhibition 'I lost my balance yesterday, my mind is really starting to slip' (overheard conversation, wharf 2 Circular Quay, Sydney, 06.07.1999), this exhibition will feature three new works especially occasioned by PICA. Opening: Wednesday 6 February, 6pm Exhibition publication [fl img='Hastings02.jpg' caption='Gail Hastings, missing walls: bureaucracy at work 2007 Courtesy of the artist.
