| 6 August – 26 September 2010
| A new survey exhibition where artists use gestures, rituals and repetitions in video and photography opens at ACCA on August 6th
| Gestures & Procedures, brings together a series of works in which artists depict simple, recurring actions and sequences in their conceptual practice.
Some of the most seminal works in early video, studio and performance practice will be shown, including key 1970s projects by pioneer conceptual artists such as Bruce Nauman, John Baldessari and Vito Acconci, as well as works by contemporary practitioners such as British artist Lucy Gunning and Australians Anastasia Klose, Daniel von Sturmer and Tony Schwensen.

| 6 August – 26 September 2010
| A major new work by Bianca Hester will see this influential Melbourne-based conceptual artist use ACCA’s main gallery as a sculptural prop – and a venue for her experimental, spatial playfulness.
| Please leave these windows open overnight to enable the fans to draw in cool air during the early hours of the morning, will reinforce Hester’s ongoing interest in the way we negotiate architecture and space. The project will stage a series of encounters between spaces, materials, objects, forms and people.
