Gregor Kregar has opened a fabulous new show at the Tin Sheds Gallery at the University of Sydney. In Piercing the Clouds, Gregor includes video projections, 3D rendered photographic works and futuristic stainless steel sculptural constructions. Complex geometric sculptures invert our sense of gravity and spatial harmony.

The exhibition was opened by the Slovenian Charge d’Affaires (Gregor was born in Slovenia).

The exhibition continues until 12 July. For more information, click here.
