McClelland Sculpture Park + Gallery is holding two beautiful and contrasting exhibitions simultaneously until Sunday, November 12, featuring the works of sculptor Tina Wentcher and artist Stephen Haley.

Curator Ken Scarlett OAM has been working for many years on the poignant retrospective of Tina, who was born in Constantinople in 1887, and remembers meeting her before her death in 1974 in Melbourne.  “She recounted her ‘lucky’ story of how she and her husband won a raffle ticket to travel to Asia just before Hitler and the Nazi party came to power.”

Stephen Haley: Out of Place curator Simon Lawrie said the experience of developing the exhibition with Stephen was astounding.  “The acclaimed artist passionately discusses through his work the two defining movements of our age: rapid global urbanisation and technological development.”

McClelland Sculpture Park + Gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am-5pm (closed Mondays and some public holidays). Entry is by donation.
