Gallery 1:
Tear Jerker
Andrea Meacham

Cool Change is pleased to present Tear Jerker, a solo exhibition by Andrea Meacham (VIC), featuring an accompanying text by Sarah Byrne.

Tear Jerker reimagines the Cocytus River as a strange, twisted bathhouse. It's a muffled wail of grief and aloneness—of pain and suffering swirling away, under the surface, out of view—held at bay by doom-scrolling and dissociative ceiling-staring—rearing its head in private therapy rooms or ugly crying while trying to brush your teeth in the shower. Tear Jerker tries to entangle you in an eternal karaoke video; you slosh about, chased by dolphins and earworms while dry retching at the congealed, soapy hair clump staring out at you from the abyss. Just relax and cry; things won't be fine, fine, fine.

Gallery 2 (Lateral Shelf):
Video Rainbows
Curated by Cassandra Tytler & Andrea Rassell

Cool Change is to present Video Rainbows, a group exhibition curated by Cassandra Tytler and Andrea Rassell—co-founders of the Moving Image Lab Perth (MILP)—and inspired by Jessie Scott’s documentary Rainbow Video (2023).

Video Rainbows explores the cultural phenomenon of now-defunct physical video shops and considers their influence on the artists who frequented them. The exhibition features a curated program of video works influenced by video store and film culture, presenting a selection of artists from WA with the Victorian artists featured in Scott’s documentary.
