April 9 to May 18 Gosia Wlodarczak: Artist Not @(At) Work, 31 Domestic Jobs For December.
Gosia Wlodarczak’s latest project is a series of 31 performances that took place each day throughout December 2017. While dressed up in designer garments selected from her extensive wardrobe collection, Wlodarczak completed various domestic chores around her home, which were in-turn documented by photographer Longin Sarnecki and uploaded onto social media for interaction. The entire set of 31 photographs will be exhibited as a series of high-resolution archival prints.Wlodarczak’s project sets out to establish a dialogue between the two phrases: the artist is always working and women’s work is never done.

April 21 to June 24 Dwelling Poetically: Mexico City, a case study – considers the ways artists and cities mutually transform each other. One of the great cross-roads of north America, Mexico City has taken prominence not only as one of America’s most populous urban centres, and as Latin America’s strongest economy, but as a node of rich and potent cultural production thanks in part to a whole generation of artists from the ë90s through to the burgeoning, much-discussed contemporary scene. Dwelling Poetically proposes a portrait of the Mexican capital through a selection of artists that live there, have lived there, or have only passed through, and yet have nevertheless contributed to its composition. Developed by guest curator Chris Sharp, assisted by Fabiola Talavera, Dwelling Poetically: Mexico City, a case study presents new and existing work by Francis Alÿs, Andrew Birk, Ramiro Chaves, Isabel Nuño de Buen, Martin Soto Climent, Chelsea Culprit, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Ektor Garcia, Yann Gerstberger, Jaki Irvine, Kate Newby and Melanie Smith.

The Islamic Museum of Australia affords a cultural immersion in the art, history and discovery of Islam and Muslims in Australia. By showcasing a wealth of contemporary artistic expression and an extensive cultural heritage, IMA facilitates space for critical reflection and personal interpretation – in the act of sharing, common myths and prejudices are dispelled and mutual understanding is established.
To July 8 Ways To Be Muslim – an exhibition of contemporary Muslim life. With the growing public debate on the status of Muslims in the west, Peter Drew’s street art campaign ‘6 Billion Ways To Be Muslim’ playfully challenged that conversation with his unique hand printed posters. Ways To Be Muslim reinvents this campaign through the photography and videography of six young Australian Muslims as they set out to discover just how many ways there are. This topical exhibition and exciting public program shares the lives of every day Australian Muslims.

This collected material becomes the direct reference source for his work, providing tangible evidence to the viewer of his relationship and experience within the landscape. The exhibition will revolve around five of the artist’s projects. Peter Atkins is represented by Tolarno Galleries in Melbourne and GAGPROJECTS in Adelaide.
