Among the venues exhibiting works is the Museum, where Rebecca Gallo's piece exploring the balance between artifact and discarded industrial scrap dangles from the corner of the recent extension to the Museum - itself a reappropriation of the industrial.

"Rebecca's work is one of the ten artists the museum is hosting this Cementa. It's a great mix of works within the museum, the museum grounds and down at Kandos Railway Station which is now part of the museum," Buzz Sanderson, museum president, said.

"We are very pleased to see a new dance piece by Susan Barling with music by Kim Deacon and Robyn Godfrey. This performance piece is inspired by the "Cement Bag Dress" by Annaleigh Moore, one of the treasured items in the museum's collection."
