About the exhibitions:

Rest time | Curated by Laura Couttie

Featuring artists: Jingwei Bu, Emma Buswell, Kate Just, Shannon Lyons and Dhana Merritt

What happens when we reject grind culture and ‘fill our cup’ instead? How can slow art – grounded in mindfulness, collaboration and exchange – help us imagine new ways of living, working and creating? Rest time offers an invitation to all visitors to rest, reflect and reconnect.

Female Trouble | Pia de Bruyn

Taking its title from John Waters’ cult classic, Female Trouble explores archetypal femininity through the lens of cinema. Historically, film has portrayed women as damaged, deranged, or dangerous — Female Trouble invites audiences into a cinematic universe where female identity takes centre stage, camp aesthetics reign supreme, and the stereotypical portrayal of women in film is radically upended.

Arranging by chance | Abbra Kotlarczyk & Briony Galligan

Arranging by chance is a collaborative exhibition that builds on the artists’ research into family trees, queerness, toxicity and healing. It considers the family tree as a symbolic and botanical form, positioning it in relation to ‘pharmakon’—the idea that a poison is also a remedy. The exhibition will incorporate new and existing works spanning drawing, installation, photography, audio and written texts.

jpg Fossils | Corinna Berndt

jpg Fossils is a science-fiction inspired video installation by Corinna Berndt that poetically connects fragments from the artist's digital archive. The exhibition envisions the digital realm as a kind of external collective memory, reminding us that growing digital systems need natural resources to keep running. jpg Fossils re-imagines these systems for storing our personal data in the future.
