For one night only on Thursday the 30 April, 18 artists will transform No 9 Karaoke Bar in Adelaide’s Chinatown into a multi-room contemporary art experience like never before.

Curated by artists Kim Munro, Yusuf Ali Hayat and Alice McCool, the project reimagines the familiar interiors of private karaoke rooms as intimate, site-specific art environments.

Audiences will encounter new and existing works created by local, national, and international artists and filmmakers that explore notions of place, space and belonging.

Each playfully using a Karaoke room to deliver their messages. Each work creating encounters where new rhythms of cultural expression can emerge within an unexpected setting.

on-site is a series of site-specific experiences of art presented in community contexts outside of traditional gallery and museum formats.

on-site's curatorial model engages with place to consider how our memories are enriched by recollections of places, and how places retain remnants of layered histories in the collective residual memory.

Commissioned performances by artists: Valerie Berry & Ben-Hur Winter, Jesse Budel, Saluhan Collective, Jazmine Deng & Helium, Ellen Steele, Astrid Pill & Jason Sweeney

Screenings by national and international film makers: Razan AlSalah, Bryce Kraehenbuehl, Komtouch Napattaloong, Ben Russell & Malena Szlam.
