Join Angus McGrath in conversation with Tim Meakins and Lewis Gittus as they discuss their exhibitions now on at Tributary Projects. Join the chat directly over zoom, or join the viewing in person at the gallery.

Tim Meakins // PUMP IRON ‘TIL YOU ARE IRON // Gallery One

Tim Meakins is an artist and graphic designer based in Perth, Western Australia. Working across sculpture, painting, print, animation and publishing, he employs a visual grammar drawn from the history (and present) of computer graphics/operating systems and cartoons to create intensely energetic propositions around the ever-mutating forms, limits, plasticity, optical register and possibilities of digital and analogue states-of-being. Solo exhibitions include Big Kicks (Smart Casual, Fremantle, 2018) and Low Energy (Cool Change Contemporary, Perth, 2019) and the upcoming Pump Iron ‘Til You Are Iron at Tributary Projects Canberra, 2021.

Lewis Cancut // COLLAPSE // Gallery Two

Lewis Gittus is a Melbourne-based composer, artist, and sound designer whose practice spans pop-music, installation, video, and text. These varied fields remain connected via an ongoing interest in synthesis, artifice, and the human body. Throughout his practice, sound is foregrounded for its ability to conjure ephemeral impressions of objects and spaces, at once familiar and monstrous.

Angus McGrath // Facilitator

McGrath makes music under the name California Girls and is also a writer for The Big Issue.
