☆ Fall Damage

Artists Tiyan Baker and Jason Phu have spent hundreds of hours playing Fortnite together. Connected remotely through in-game microphone, for the artists, Fortnite has become a space for artistic discussion and exploration. Recently, Fortnite has connected with Unreal Engine to make its four years worth of assets available to the public to build and modify their own Fortnite worlds. In Baker and Phu’s Fall Damage, the artists draw on existing themes in their work to present a series of video, sculptural and interactive works derived from worlds built by the artists in Unreal Engine Fortnite. Drawing on the nihilistic pleasure of gaming and the possibilities for finding personal agency, in Fall Damage explores such ideas as building utopian futures, speculative altars of worship and communion, transcendence into virtual (after) lives, respawning and survivance

☆ Relic, group exhibition curated by Rare Silk

Relic is an experimental visual arts exhibition that delves into the profound themes of memory, loss, and the enduring connections with those who have passed. Contemporary artists are invited to craft unique relics that reflect their personal experiences of grief and transcendence, transforming their emotional journeys into tangible artworks. Each piece serves as a vessel for reflection, encouraging viewers to contemplate their own narratives of farewell and the echoes left behind. This exhibition offers a space where art and memory intersect, creating a collective tapestry that honours both individual and universal experiences of loss.

Featuring artists Andrew Sunley Smith, Andrew Beck, Alice Humphries, Danielle Caruana, Duncan Wright, Eli Smith, Heritier Kasanda, Ilona McGuire, Jessee Lee Johns, Kate Hulett, Ken Meyer, Manveen Kaur Kohli, Max Barton, Sam Bloor, Sarita Slater, Tim Meakins, Tom Mùller.

☆ Goolugatup Sounds returns in 2025 for its 23rd edition – featuring Hubbub (France), Yikes + Nafta and more TBA

Exhibition open 8 February continues until 23 March 2025.
