The Conservatorium speaks to both the practice and thematic impulses behind an empty jar. Curated by Proximity’s Renae Coles and Perth Zine Collective’s Anna Dunhill, this exhibition will be the first hosted in the recently opened Paper Mountain, an artist-run community centre which will be decorated by multiple mini-spaces of the glass, plastic or ceramic variety. Amongst the artists involved are such luminaries as photographer Jackson Eaton, artist Sheridan Coleman and writer Lily Chan. Even a live school of fish will be present within one container in Abdul-Rahman Abdullah’s Life Support System – talk about creativity in confined spaces!
