At PICA we recognise that we are situated within the unceded lands of the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation. We pay our respects and offer our gratitude to Elders past and present, and to those emerging leaders in the community. We acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the importance of their care and continued connection to culture, community and Country.

Always was, always will be.

Our foyer is open today 10am–5pm . Our exhibitions are always free.

Bella Lubcke’s residency at PICA will explore the history of found and second-hand materials with relationships to PICA and the Perth Cultural Centre, taking into account the shapes and decorative elements of the PICA building. Her slow-making and repetitive process allows for moments of intimacy with the materials and enables her to consider their histories.

About the Artist

Bella Lubcke is an emerging artist fascinated by textiles and the interwoven histories that pre-exist in fabrics and domestic materials. Her practice currently revolves around relational aesthetics, with the art piece existing only to facilitate some form of participation. She works through our perceptions, relationships, and feelings towards the body, particularly the female body. Simple forms like soft-sculpture tubes re-appear throughout her work as a playful motif that encourages ongoing creativity and intuition.
