SINE is the provocation of sound made visual. SINE is a mathematical series where the operation adds infinite quantities to a given equation. Mathematics, music and visual art expand common threads of thinking and expression around thoughts of order. Artist, musician, maker combine to mediate expressions through material object, instrument, performance, and the graphic to form the exhibition SINE at Wallace. Each contributor is invited to show an existing work or develop/adapt a concept for the exhibition taking a deep dive into SINE space. Artists: Leah Curtis Cat Hope Rex Bruce Jonathon Stockman Sze Tsang Matt Dickmann Eduardo Cossio Nic […]

Fremantle’s Inner Harbour will be transformed by The Port’s Call, an expansive sonic installation by Thomas Supple and Byron J Scullin. Beginning at dawn on the first day of the Biennale and continuing until dusk on Sunday 12 November, the arrival and departure of each large vessel (regardless of the time of day), will be signalled by a bespoke soundscape. With each passing vessel, a continually changing symphony of sound, using long-range acoustic technology, will echo throughout the Port. Stretching across a square kilometre, from the South Mole into Victoria Quay, the harbour will become a living stage for this […]

Kastoms is a new iteration of Taloi Havini’s Answer to the Call, an immersive twenty-two speaker installation, composed in dialogue with contemporary arts practice, scientific investigation and customary wisdom. Originally created after her residency onboard the R/V Falkor (Schmidt Ocean Institute) and premiered with the TBA21-Academy at Ocean Space, Venice (2021), this significant work is now re-imagined in Australia for the first time, resounding in a series of cycles specifically for the Old Customs House in Fremantle. An island platform will lie at the centre, its shape and blue tones will evoke the depth and expanse of our understanding of Oceania […]

Resonant is an exhibition bringing together two distinct installations at PS Art Space by Bori Benko and Rob Kettels. In conversation with space, time and, one another. Resonant will transport viewers into an entangled vibrational and sonic world, into a space of shared visual lyricism and intertwined histories. Bori Benko’s Songs to the Universe makes visible the vibrating forces beyond our perception. Everything in our world, in the digital landscape and within our bodies, hum with vibrational energy. Bori captures these different frequencies and unique tunes in her moving mechanical sculptures. Revealed in this exhibition are the harmonies, patterns and travelling waves […]

Close to the submerged remnants of the Fremantle Long Jetty, an immersive re-telling of arrival and separation will unfold. So once you were here they had you is an experiential audio-visual poem to the 50 young cotton-weaver women who arrived on the shores of Walyalup, journeying by ship from Lancashire over 110 days and nights in 1863. Created by electronic music composer Rebecca Riggs-Bennett and video artist Elham Eshraghian-Haakansson, this work takes place across Bathers Beach, re-tracing the steps of the women and the many others of the “Bride Ship” era. So once you were here they had you is […]

Come on Monday, November 13, 6pm for performances by poet Andrew Sutherland and sound artist Sally Ann McIntyre. Andrew Sutherland is a Queer Poz (PLHIV) writer, poet and theatre-maker in Boorloo making some of the most challenging and intruiging work in town (in this author's opinion). His work moves between confronting experimentalism and pop culture affection deftly, sometimes even managing to make one seem like the other. He will read some of his amazing poems. Sally Ann McIntyre visits from Naarm to play at the Fremantle Biennale on November 9. Here she's offering something better suited to a small space […]

We are extremely excited to announce our first SHOW: EXHIBITION OR PROJECT; Samuel Beilby’s Machinic Paragenesis. Samuel’s work captured us instantly and have put together an exhibition that just had to be part of CURRENT. This is one of those shows that you just have to experience to grasp. In Samuel’s own words: ‘On one-hand, it can be recognised as a DIY experiment in guerrilla field recording and video art-making that amounts to both an exposition of capitalism’s definitive exploitation of the natural world, and the generative potential of noise as an artistic material for charting complex tensions particular to […]
