Opening: Hope Valley Road – an autobiography by Ron Nyisztor @ Vasse Felix
2026-07-05 11:00 - 12:00 (Australia/Perth) | WA
After its debut @ no.10, Hope Valley Road – an autobiography by Ron Nyisztor hits the road and travels to Vasse Felix.

This is an exhibition of Ron Nyisztor’s most recent project. Hope Valley Road once traversed the Kwinana industrial and Wattleup areas toward Mandogalup. In former times it ran from the coast through Banksia bush land, semi-rural properties and market gardens.

Present day Hope Valley Road is a detoured and restricted non-thoroughfare. The picturesque properties were vacated years ago; it seems their proximity to industrial plumes became highlighted and re-zoning was implemented.

The artist grew up in this locality and considers the romantic connotations of the road’s namesake to be at odds with its bleakness. Although the locality presents many conflicting sentiments, it has often been referential and provided an inspirational backdrop throughout the artist’s career.

This project refers to the deserted neighbourhood as motivation for a visual autobiography. It’s an alternative, extreme self-portrait; a likeness that is comprised from the depiction of motor vehicles associated with his journey. Stalled vestiges trained on any other horizon; each remnant having acquired status in the subject’s psyche serves to illustrate intimate exposés and confidential experiences.

ARTIST TALK: South West Survey 2026
2026-09-05 13:00 - 14:30
Join us for an artist talk with Lyn Nixon, Deidre Robb and James Walker, three artists featured in South West Survey 2026 : Tracework.

Part of the inaugural South West Biennial 2026, Tracework brings together 28 artists from across Western Australia’s South West, exploring the idea of trace — through marks, memory, material, place and connection.

Lyn Nixon’s Pernicious explores family, memory and the lasting scars of alcohol-related trauma, transforming childhood photographs onto ceramic gin bottles. Deidre Robb uses textiles and stitching to reflect on peace, conflict and healing. James Walker explores the drama and aftermath of fire, smoke and the landscape.

Hear from the artists as they discuss their practices, inspirations and the ideas behind their work.

1.00pm – 2.30pm | Saturday, 5 September 2026
