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

Sub-terrain

Sub-terrain

Paddy Bedford, Julie Dowling, Derek Kreckler, Matthew Ngui and Juha Tolonen. Curated by Hannah Mathews Sub-terrain brings together a selection of Western Australia’s leading contemporary artists under the 2006 Perth International Arts Festival thematic of ‘earthly delights’. These artists, whose work draws on a diverse range of media, are linked by their interpretation of the urban and rural landscapes of our vast state. From the spinifex of Kununura and the colour fields of suburban Perth’s backyards to the use of organic materials, the work of these artists reflects the often subconscious yet significant relationship the distinctly West Australian terrain demands of us all.
