It was a joy to escape the summer heat and dry plains of Bathurst and dive into the world of the future, or at least what was promised. Adam Norton’s survey exhibition at Bathurst Regional Art Gallery 'The Signs Are Good: 20 years of painting the future' is a captivating display of paintings, video, works on paper and sculpture, culminating in a fantastical exploration of the space race, alien sightings and nuclear testing.
