Lifting its title from a 1980 song by The Fall about a reclusive dog breeder whose “hideous replica” haunts industrial Manchester, this experimental project – a concoction of artworks, performances, screenings, workshops, a “replica school” and other uncanny encounters – adopts monstrous replication as a tactic, condition and curatorial framework for exploring algorithmic culture, simultaneously alienating, seductive and out-of-control. Curated by Joel Stern and Sean Dockray.

Fusing First Nations cultural traditions, the industrial materiality of the mining industry, and regional and global art influences, the exhibition asserts and re-imagines the artists’ cross-cultural identities, drawing upon the haunting wounds of post-contact histories, the renewal and remaking of cultural practices, and the collaborative resilience and audaciously punk attitude of a frontier community.

To Oct 26 Virginia Cuppaidge and Naoise Halloran-Mackay.
Mobilised through a sense of light and movement, colour, rather than form, dominates Virginia Cuppaidge’s painting. Their radiant and sensuous surfaces reflect both the opalescent skies of New York and the expansive space and light of Australia. Gently referencing Australian architecture, Naoise Halloran-Mackay’s sculptures suggest transition and possibility. His “doorways” can be understood as transition points or thresholds between humankind and nature, interiority and exteriority.

To Jan 2025 Lee Bul: Untitled – this work comprises a central body from which other parts of the form explode outwards into space.
