Join us for the opening celebration of Strange Planet, 3-5pm on Saturday 25 May at the APA gallery Collingwood Yards.
Strange Planet invites you to move towards the creatures from whom you usually recoil; to examine their glittering intricacies, behold their hairy thoraxes, to bat your eyelids at their slithery scales and razor-sharp fangs.
Find solace in the uncanny beauty of these inhabitants for within their otherworldly forms a symphony of colours, textures, and shapes awaits.
Meet us beneath the thicket in the depths of this Strange Planet.
This exhibition features Anna Dehm, Anne Lynch, Bronwyn Hack, Chris Mason, Dorothy Berry, Dionne Canzano, Eden Menta, Julian Martin, Katherine Foster, Lygin Ang, Matthew Gove, Miles Howard Wilks, Michael Camakaris, Nhan Nguyen, Patrick Francis, Ruth Howard, Samraing Chea, Shoshanna Brott, Terry Williams and Valerio Ciccone.
Strange Planet is curated by Miles Howard-Wilks, Sandy Fernée and Sarah Lamanna.
