From August to October, PICA will be transformed with two new solo exhibitions.
Our Central Gallery will house A Self Potrait by Khaled Sabsabi. This is his most significant exhibition in Australia to date and is informed by Sufi spirituality, his own experience of moving between communities and geopolitical factors.
Upstairs, the Westend Gallery will showcase Amalia Pica’s first solo exhibition in Australia, please open hurry, with new and recent works exploring the techniques, potential and shortcomings of communication.
On Saturday 8 September you are invited to join us for Art & Identity: Muslim Artists in Western Australia and a live dance-performance in response to Amalia Pica’s work, Catalogue of great ape gestures (in alphabetical order).
