Weekends at PICA: Kambarang/Birak

PICA opens its final exhibitions of 2024 with an afternoon of exhibition tours, artist talks, a book launch and more.

Join Robert Cook, Curator of Contemporary Art at the Art Gallery of Western Australia, for a tour of Paul Knight’s exhibition L’ombre de ton ombre (The shadow of your shadow), which presents new and recent photographic, textile and machine learning works that employ the artist’s relationship with his partner as an index of time. Following this, PICA Curator Sarah Wall will be in conversation with exhibiting artist Jack Ball to discuss their exhibition Heavy grit, which brings together installation and collage, drawing on materials from the Australian Queer Archive and recent images from Ball’s daily life. The day concludes with the launch of Tight Crop, a photo book published by Heart of Hearts Press featuring Ball’s recent photographic works.
