"Assembled: The Art of Robert Klippel" & "Valhalla" (TarraWarra Museum of Art)

Klippel - I didn't engage deeply, but I most liked some of the drawings and collages, and the small steel and wire sculptures, rather than the more obviously monumental larger assemblages.

"Valhalla" was keen, like most of Callum Morton's art. On the outside, it's a three-quarter scale replica of his childhood house in ruins; on the inside, it's an unsettling generically modern lobby area - also three-quarter scale - with three closed lifts and associated lights which flicker on and off and sounds which include mysterious thuds, menacing laughter and a scream or two.
