While incarcerated, Andrew began noticing the transportive power of laughter. After all, if a joke can make you forget you’re in prison, what else can it do? Upon his release, Andrew took up stand-up comedy, initially under strict bail conditions where his parents had to come with him to shows, and he had to be home in time for curfew. A year later, Andrew performed his debut solo show ‘Jokes About the Time I Went to Prison’, at the 2023 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Andrew’s show garnered him critical acclaim, along with a nomination for Best Newcomer.

All the Times I Could Have explores untold stories, moments of hesitation and unspoken possibilities in a liminal world of ‘almosts’. Join two overthinkers as they take you on a visual and confessional journey of the words left unsaid, the thoughts never acted upon, and the people who keep the memories of these ‘almosts’ in the back of their brain, ruminating on what could have been. Here, the ‘almosts’ are everywhere: texts you never sent, people you might have loved, places you could have called home. All the Times I Could Have is an invitation to reflect on the choices we made and also the ones we didn’t, and how we can better navigate this coexistence. Are the things that almost happened simply regrets, or are they opportunities to rewrite your life?

Form and feeling: artists’ studies of the twentieth century explores the centrality of drawing to the artistic practice of British and Australian artists, including Stanley Spencer, William Dobell, Russell Drysdale and Frank Auerbach. Drawn from The State Art Collection, this exhibition brings together significant figurative oil paintings and their preparatory drawings – a number of which have never been shown before. Form and feeling is focused upon technique and process, exploring the differing approaches to line, shape, contour and materiality as these artists progress preliminary sketches into finished works. Form and feeling brings to the fore the politics of collecting in Australian public institutional history, wherein Modern British art was keenly collected – particularly after WWII. This exhibition explores the influence that these artists had upon the Australian art scene at the time and restages this influence for audiences today.

In a world-first, legendary photographer Henry Roy holds his first survey at The Art Gallery of Western Australia. Henry Roy – Impossible Island draws on 40 years of recollections and observations as it brings together 113 photos taken from 1983 to 2023. The images were shot in places such as his native Haiti, Ibiza, Paris, Dakar, Cameroon, Normandy, Marrakesh, Thailand, and the Ivory Coast. Impossible Island channels the many influences that have shaped Roy’s artistic journey including his exile from his homeland of Haiti to his love of literature and passion for New Wave French cinema. Henry Roy’s work has been of international interest since the 1990s because of the incredible beauty and richness of his imagery, qualities that have made him a sought-after photographer in magazine editorial and exhibition contexts. His photographic vision was a key component of the new publishing trends in the late 1990s, specifically as a contributor to Purple, and later in the 2000s Hobo magazine.

The Deep Green Sea is a major solo exhibition by Kelsey Ashe, presenting an immersive installation of expansive screen prints and short film. Ashe has created a surreal world of dark fairytales upon coastal seascapes, which are recognisably Antipodean, yet inflected with strange ecological allegories of the artist's imagination. Meticulously screen-printed in botanical inks and photoluminescent pigments at a giant scale, the oceanic-gothic artworks fittingly fill the large inner sanctum of the former Catholic Chapel at BRAG. Ashe envisions the sublime and mysterious within landscapes by drawing on her studies in Japanese aesthetic philosophy and print-making techniques. The artist seeks instances of yugen; a Japanese word referring to the ‘dark, tranquil colour of the universe and the profound awareness of this which triggers a deep emotional response’.

These objects are placed in dialogue with photographic images and poetry that document the thrum of life and death in environmental arterial systems, connecting roots, rivers, skeletons, and veins. Tributaries is both a contemporary memento mori and a reminder of the constantly changing states of all organic matter, including our own bodies – a testament to the interconnection of human, animal and environment.

Our story is not one story, but many stories to share. Balancing Act features Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander works of art from the State Art Collection. In this exhibition, you will encounter a vast range of material revealing the wide scope of First Nations truth-telling and art-making practice. Radical observations about the ups and downs of life are placed side by side with expressions of relationships with Custodial Country; the locations and places artists and communities care for, according to their kin and family ties with place. Different versions of history are told, at times emotional and challenging, alongside moments of great beauty and poignancy. Many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists use their cultural production to investigate feelings and unpack ideas around identity in the wake of colonisation. Others use their work as a way to support and express their own grief and healing, as well as to express joy and cultural belonging. Balancing Act invites you to be surprised, delighted and challenged by the stories told through the eyes of First Nations artists and their works of art.

While incarcerated, Andrew began noticing the transportive power of laughter. After all, if a joke can make you forget you’re in prison, what else can it do? Upon his release, Andrew took up stand-up comedy, initially under strict bail conditions where his parents had to come with him to shows, and he had to be home in time for curfew. A year later, Andrew performed his debut solo show ‘Jokes About the Time I Went to Prison’, at the 2023 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Join two overthinkers as they take you on a visual and confessional journey of the words left unsaid, the thoughts never acted upon, and the people who keep the memories of these ‘almosts’ in the back of their brain, ruminating on what could have been. Here, the ‘almosts’ are everywhere: texts you never sent, people you might have loved, places you could have called home. All the Times I Could Have is an invitation to reflect on the choices we made and also the ones we didn’t, and how we can better navigate this coexistence. Are the things that almost happened simply regrets, or are they opportunities to rewrite your life?

Form and feeling: artists’ studies of the twentieth century explores the centrality of drawing to the artistic practice of British and Australian artists, including Stanley Spencer, William Dobell, Russell Drysdale and Frank Auerbach. Drawn from The State Art Collection, this exhibition brings together significant figurative oil paintings and their preparatory drawings – a number of which have never been shown before. Form and feeling is focused upon technique and process, exploring the differing approaches to line, shape, contour and materiality as these artists progress preliminary sketches into finished works. Form and feeling brings to the fore the politics of collecting in Australian public institutional history, wherein Modern British art was keenly collected – particularly after WWII. This exhibition explores the influence that these artists had upon the Australian art scene at the time and restages this influence for audiences today.

In a world-first, legendary photographer Henry Roy holds his first survey at The Art Gallery of Western Australia. Henry Roy – Impossible Island draws on 40 years of recollections and observations as it brings together 113 photos taken from 1983 to 2023. The images were shot in places such as his native Haiti, Ibiza, Paris, Dakar, Cameroon, Normandy, Marrakesh, Thailand, and the Ivory Coast. Impossible Island channels the many influences that have shaped Roy’s artistic journey including his exile from his homeland of Haiti to his love of literature and passion for New Wave French cinema. Henry Roy’s work has been of international interest since the 1990s because of the incredible beauty and richness of his imagery, qualities that have made him a sought-after photographer in magazine editorial and exhibition contexts. His photographic vision was a key component of the new publishing trends in the late 1990s, specifically as a contributor to Purple, and later in the 2000s Hobo magazine.

The Deep Green Sea is a major solo exhibition by Kelsey Ashe, presenting an immersive installation of expansive screen prints and short film. Ashe has created a surreal world of dark fairytales upon coastal seascapes, which are recognisably Antipodean, yet inflected with strange ecological allegories of the artist's imagination. Meticulously screen-printed in botanical inks and photoluminescent pigments at a giant scale, the oceanic-gothic artworks fittingly fill the large inner sanctum of the former Catholic Chapel at BRAG. Ashe envisions the sublime and mysterious within landscapes by drawing on her studies in Japanese aesthetic philosophy and print-making techniques. The artist seeks instances of yugen; a Japanese word referring to the ‘dark, tranquil colour of the universe and the profound awareness of this which triggers a deep emotional response’.

Tributaries explores the fibres of flora, fauna, and human systems. It includes jewellery, small fine metal sculptures, and objects formed by corrosion casting, a process by which resin is injected into animal organs and other biological systems to form moulds of internal spaces. These objects are placed in dialogue with photographic images and poetry that document the thrum of life and death in environmental arterial systems, connecting roots, rivers, skeletons, and veins. Tributaries is both a contemporary memento mori and a reminder of the constantly changing states of all organic matter, including our own bodies – a testament to the interconnection of human, animal and environment.
