Description: Get Over It is a new interactive exhibition that takes a tongue in cheek look at everyday human activity and associated regulations - such as health and safety. It is the third in a series of site-specific exhibitions at the gallery that have been developed in response to the gallery space and/or the surrounding natural ad urban landscape.

Through her 'Safe and Healthy Art', artist Carol Mancke explores how rules and regulations can take away opportunities for people to exercise judgement, understand risk and take responsibility as individuals. In addition, Mancke's work seeks to challenge the popular notion that art is something to be viewed from a comfortable distance.

Entrance to the exhibition is free. The gallery is open Wednesday to Saturday, 10am-4pm.
