ARTIST+Curator's TALK
2025-11-29 14:00 - 16:00
Join us for an intimate conversation with artist Marcus Beilby and curator Connie Petrillo as they explore the themes and processes behind The Real and the Remembered .

This rare opportunity offers insight into Beilby’s photorealist practice spanning nearly five decades, from his earliest work “Whatever Happened to Sunday Mournings” (1979) to the luminous “Yellow Room” (2025). Discover how everyday objects—a shovel, a broom, a yellow room—are transformed through patient observation into meditations on memory and time.

Following the discussion, enjoy a guided tour of the exhibition where Marcus will share the stories behind individual works and his approach to capturing that liminal space between the real and the remembered. This is a unique chance to hear directly from an artist who has worked with quiet dedication toward this moment, building a body of work that asks us to reconsider how we see the ordinary world around us.

Each painting in this exhibition is a small act of preservation, a way of holding time still.

TIME to BURN @ Vasse Felix
2026-04-12 11:00 - 12:00 | Holmes à Court Gallery @ Vasse Felix, Cnr Tom Cullity Dr & Caves Rd, Cowaramup, WA, 6284, Australia
Time to Burn, an exhibition bringing together artists responding to urgent environmental concerns surrounding contemporary forest management.

Curated by Christine Gregory, Time to Burn examines current fire management practices, with a focus on aerial prescribed burning in Western Australia’s Great Southern and South West regions.

Through artistic and community perspectives, the exhibition explores the environmental, cultural, and ecological consequences of these methods.

“The Southwest forests are a biodiversity hotspot, with many unique plants and animals existing nowhere else on Earth, yet they are under threat from many angles including inappropriate fire management. The WA Government should take inspiration from these artists, and be creative, considered and informed in re envisioning fire management in the Southwest to protect both nature and communities.” Jess Boyce, Director Western Australian Forrest Alliance (WAFA) https://wafa.org.au/about-us/

The exhibition aims to provoke informed dialogue and encourage alternative approaches to fire management, highlighting the irreversible damage caused by prevailing practices. Time to Burn asks a vital question: how can we protect both our communities and the natural environment—before time runs out?

The exhibition features Western Australian artists Kate Campbell-Pope, Annette Davis, Elizabeth Edmonds, Peter Hill, Sandra Hill, Paul Moncrieff, Kim Perrier, Ben Pushman, Tania Spencer, Monique Tippett, Peter Usher, and Tony Windberg.

The exhibition is part of the South West Biennial 2026 run by Bunbury Regional Art Gallery.

Ron Nyisztor ARTIST TALK @ no.10
2026-04-18 14:00 - 15:30 | Holmes à Court Gallery @ no. 10, 10 Douglas St, West Perth, WA, 6005, Australia
Join us for an insightful discussion with Ron Nyisztor around the works in his exhibition Hope Valley Road : an Autobiography

This project refers to the deserted neighbourhood as motivation for a visual autobiography, 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.

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

If you’re wanting to hear more from the artist, as he unpacks how an exhibition of vehicle depictions, intriguing names and an overall unique idea of a ‘self-portrait’ encompasses who Ron Nyisztor is; then this is the perfect event for you!
