Rounds
Curator: Sarah Rowbottam

Artists: Neil Aldum, Rebecca Baumann, Tim Carter, Elise/Jürgen, Shannon Lyons, Bennett Miller, Sarah Rowbottam, George Egerton-Warburton

Nine of Western Australia’s most interesting emerging artists have radically engaged with issues of peer influence and authorship through a unique methodology. Exhibition curator Sarah Rowbottam invited the artists to make new art works over 4 demanding 6 week cycles, within which each artist handed over a work to another artist in the group who in-turn made a new work in response.

Rounds After Hours: Tuesday 13 July, 6pm Meet the artists behind the much anticipated ROUNDS exhibition and be taken on an artist tour of the show, led by PICA Director Amy Barrett- Lennard.

ROUNDS Book launch: Friday 13 August, 6pm

Bevan Honey: Your Reference to More Gracious Living

Bevan Honey has developed an ambitious new body of work for PICA’s Westend gallery including a futile ‘burn-out’ machine that spins out on the gallery floor, alongside an expansive geometric installation of wooden lines that stretches over 30 metres and wraps around the gallery walls.
 

Ignacio Uriate: The Invention of Letters

PICA is proud to present the first Australian screening of Berlin- based Ignacio Uriarte’s new film entitled The History of the Typewriter Recited by Michael Winslow (2009) as well as a suite of seven works on paper specially conceived for PICA.

In the film, actor/comedian Michael Winslow, famous for his role in the slapstick Police Academy movies and his gifted ability to orally mimic any sound, is seen in a studio recording an oral history of the typewriter.
