Forming part of the 2016 Perth International Arts Festival Visual Arts program, this Perth debut of Trecartin’s work features AGWA’s major new acquisitions, the movies Sibling Topics (section a) 2009 and CENTER JENNY 2013. These works were acquired with funds accrued through the Art Gallery of Western Australia Foundation’s highly successful TomorrowFund campaign. Ryan Trecartin is widely considered to be the artist of our moment. Calvin Tompkins of the New Yorker recently dubbed him ‘a video art visionary’ whose work is full of ‘breaking news from the future’.
