Monique Tippett, Burnt - exhibition view, 2022
Monique Tippett / BURNT
Be sure to catch the final days of this exquisite exhibition while Monique Tippett is resident artist and in the gallery daily from 11.00-2.00.
ABOUT
Burnt responds to the element of fire which is wielded by Tippett as a creative force. Fire is used for artworks that reside somewhere between sculpture and painting, as three-dimensional wall works.
Burnt brings together large and small, new and old works, that glow from gold to red and from the deepest darkest charred wood, to snowy ash.
There are still some artworks available for purchase.

COLLECTION FOCUS
Abstract Art by Women in the 1980s
ABOUT
This exhibition is the second instalment of the Collection Focus series of annual exhibitions drawn exclusively from the Janet Holmes à Court Collection. Here we present art works which have rarely been on display. The selection of art works reveals the substantial contribution that women artists have made to the field of abstract art in Australia. Women artists have played a fundamental role in the development of abstract art throughout the 20thcentury. It is a role that has often been overlooked in favour of the celebrated work of their male contemporaries. The specific period of focus for this exhibition is the 1980s and the works span across painting, collage, ceramics and sculpture, to celebrate and acknowledge the crucial significance of abstract art by women in Australia in the 1980s.

ABOUT
Emergences is part of the state-wide Open Borders Project. It includes 15 unique, interconnected, exhibitions, films and performances created by artists living across regional WA.
Each of us has a complex network of physical and psychological barricades in our lives. These can be environmental, imposed on us or self-erected. What happens when a barricade falls or is breached? Some may find euphoria in such a collapse. For others, the tension this creates can be crippling.
Presented by The Creative Corner and the Holmes à Court Gallery @ Vasse Felix, Emergences has been coordinated by Christopher Young and Anita Pettit.
ARTISTS
Amanda Bell, Clocherty/Deltondo/Hart/Jennings, Shannon Clohessy, Francesco Geronazzo, Shayne Hadley, Yu-Hua Lan, Elisa Markes-Young, Katharina Meister, Kate Alida Mullen, Martine Perret and Helen Seiver.
