About the Show

Opening Night: The Long Kiss Goodbye + Boomerang

Join us for the opening of Season 1 with two new exhibitions: The Long Kiss Goodbye + Boomerang – A National Symbol.

THE LONG KISS GOODBYE
The Long Kiss Goodbye explores how artists transform familiar materials and symbols into complex meditations on love, loss, attraction and repulsion.

It features a group of artists from around the nation, each with a unique connection to Western Australia.

Sarah Contos (NSW) | Penny Coss (WA) | Iain Dean (WA) | Michele Elliot with Tender Funerals (NSW) | Brent Harris (VIC) | Clare Peake (NT)

Presented in association with Perth Festival.

BOOMERANG – A NATIONAL SYMBOL
Australia as a nation is recognised around the world by symbols of Aboriginal culture.

In this exhibition, the Berndt Museum explores the idea of the boomerang – beyond a symbol of ‘Australia’ – to highlight its many uses and meanings. The exhibition asks audiences: ‘How much do you know about boomerangs?’

Presented by the Berndt Museum of Anthropology.

OPENING NIGHT:
FRIDAY 7 FEBRUARY, 6 – 8PM
LAWRENCE WILSON ART GALLERY
