To Nov 10 East Gallery Coincident – eminent West Australian ceramist Bernard Kerr’s fourth solo show explores how ceramic objects are displayed, represented, perceived, and used in Western culture. Designed to complement the cultural conversations explored in the IOTA24 statewide festival, Coincident aims to shape conversations around the puzzling phenomenological relationship between our visual and tactile interactions with, and perceptions of, objects and images. In this case, Kerr’s hand-crafted ceramic objects and still life installations look to shape the conversation around the relationship between our perceptions, and the role of the maker.
To Nov 10 West Gallery: Unfold – presented as part of the Indian Ocean Craft Triennial (IOTA24), explores the craft of the artists’ book through the stories and conversations of 15 Western Australian artists: Nazerul Ben-Dzulkefli, Monique Bosshard Curby, Bina Butcher, Moira Court, Jo Darvall, Shanti Gelmi, Louise Grimshaw, Sarah Hewer, Rob Kettels, Monika Lukowska, Norma MacDonald, Matt Perrin, Kristy Scaddan, Paul Uhlmann, and Vanessa Wallace. Encompassing a diverse range of disciplines including printmaking, drawing, collage, ceramics, photography and animation, these artists reinvent traditional forms of the artists’ book craft to reinterpret the genre. Curated by Kristy Scaddan.
