For the love of Petroleum
- Exhibition dates: 20th July to 4 August Thursday to Sunday, 11am to 4pm Opening: Saturday 20th July 3pm - 5pm
Blue Willow, 2021, recycled 3D filament, acrylic, 35 x 35 x 35 cm- Sarah Goffman
Exhibiting artists: Carla Cescon, Sarah Goffman, Lucy Merrett and Rolande Suliere
Artist/s statement
In For the Love of Petroleum, artists Carla Cescon, Sarah Goffman, Lucy Merrett and Rolande Suliere offer systems, talismans and totems holding desire for the lost, long gone, resurfaced, reused and the unobtainable out of reach rendered illusory in this Anthropocene age.
For the love of Petroleum is also somehow about pathways, expansion and resultant systems and networks which exist because petroleum is the energy of propulsion, combustion and inflation. It delivers consumer lethargic comfort whilst depleting itself. It is also culture itself.
Fossil fuel usage creates systems and networks of land and sea communication which define and direct corporate exploitation of common land and sea. Corporations
create secured and funnelled entry and exit points through country and sea that hold significance for the culture of first nations peoples and where valuable unearthed resources are held as secret. The spectre of an unexamined Anthropocene present, lays ready to challenge structures of economic power and the constriction of the movement of global and bioregional communities.

In the Flat Field
- Exhibition dates: 8 to 24 August Thursday to Sunday, 11am to 4pm Opening: Thursday 8 August 6 - 9pm
Tom Isaacs Homage to the Hypercube 2024
Artists: Tom Isaacs and Nuno Rodrigues de Sousa
Artist/s statement
“What if Kasimir Malevich’s Black Square and Stanley Kubrick’s monoliths were inhabitants of Flatland?”
'In the Flat Field' is the first joint exhibition from transdisciplinary collaborative duo Tom Isaacs and Nuno Rodrigues de Sousa. This exhibition was inspired by and creatively engages with the relatively obscure science-fiction novella Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin A. Abbott—a Menippean satire set in a two-dimensional world populated by geometric figures. Drawing from Flatland’s exploration of multiple dimensions and recent scholarship on the connections between Modern art and contemporaneous developments in the fields of science and mathematics, including x-rays and the fourth dimension, the artists will explore speculative links between Flatland, science fiction, and Modern art. The artists also engage with elements of Flatland’s social commentary, touching on issues such as feminism, eugenics, and class struggle, as well as the method of socio-political critique through creative work.
Opening: Thursday 8 August 6 - 9pm.
