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.

Galleries are closed until 7 February. Our exhibitions are always free.

KISS club 2017

KISS club 2017

Pucker up Perth!

KISS club is a performance event for ideas in development, featuring emerging and established artists across live and experimental arts practice. Created by Sydney based artist Karen Therese, KISS club has been presented by tactical media group pvi collective at CIA studios since 2010. This year KISS club will be co-curated for the first time by PICA and pvi collective. Selected artists will present ten minutes of a work in progress to an audience, providing a chance to trial new ideas and receive feedback in a generous and warm environment. A Q&A with a special guest speaker will also feature, providing expertise and insight into a topic beyond the arts.

This fast and furious performance night gives audiences a fresh insight into what is bubbling in the hearts and minds of Perth’s experimental performance makers and the opportunity to help shape and support new work.
