Cool Change Kieron Broadhurst will be discussing his solo exhibition – Excession – that encompasses all three of our gallery spaces.

Excession documents the existence of these three parallel histories through three installation artworks:

The Island presents an attempt at modelling, and thereby controlling, the primordial Island.

An Event documents the limited evidence of the mysterious Event and its effect on the West Australian landscape.

Earth Coincidence Control Office recreates the office space of one of the members of ECCO, a secret society which attempts to communicate with dolphins through coincidences.

Each of these hidden worlds contain within themselves speculative relationships to our own. Through a negotiation with the works and their subject matter, new, estranged approaches to the multifaceted utopian potential of these forgotten histories emerge. After all what, if anything, is really real?

The Cool Change Bar will be in operation.
