Sixty-one works by 2024 Year 12 Visual Arts graduates were selected from 37 schools across WA.
Cast in bronze
The Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) will present a captivating new exhibition that explores the evolution of Modernist bronze sculpture, tracing its journey from the mid-to-late nineteenth century to the mid-to-late twentieth century.
Cast in bronze draws on significant bronze works from The State Art Collection and offers a fascinating glimpse into the development of sculptural practice during a period of profound transformation in the art world.
Art of Peace at AGWA
The Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) presents Art of Peace: Art After War, a thought-provoking exhibition featuring nine artists from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda and Timor-Leste who have created artworks shaped by living amongst the aftermath of war and conflict.
In the last thirty years, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, and Timor-Leste each emerged from different versions of social and human destruction, from the genocide of hundreds of thousands of people. Understandably, the peace following war can often be hard work, and life in a post-conflict society is very different in each of these countries.
Revivification
ART AND SCIENCE INTERSECT
IN A WORLD FIRST AT AGWA
The Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) will showcase an extraordinary immersive exhibition combining sound and cutting-edge biological innovation to bring to life the musical genius of a deceased composer.
Four years in the making, Revivification delivers a historic first: the in-vitro (external) ‘brain’ of the late composer Alvin Lucier (1931-2021) creating a new work in real time, as a live performance over the duration of the exhibition.
