ARTIST TALK // Andrew Nicholls with Thea Rossen
2pm, Saturday 24th February

Join us to hear from Andrew Nicholls and collaborator Thea Rossen from Ad Lib Collective, about their exhibition, Portent, as part of the 2024 Perth Festival themed Ngaangk ('The Sun').

This exhibition draws on eclipse lore to focus on how solar eclipses have been perceived as omens of pending disaster over time, in different places, cultures, beliefs and in mythology. Become immersed in a changing light and sound spectrum as Andrew takes us through the ideas behind the artwork in the show, and he and Thea discuss their cross-disciplinary collaboration, and interpreting the 2023 Exmouth Eclipse through music.
