Love Letters is an exhibition of collaborative work developed through a letter exchange project that has connected artists living in regional QLD, and both regional and metropolitan NSW. Collaborating through letters was a response to border closures, social isolation and the loneliness experienced during Covid restrictions.

Each letter, handwritten and crafted by the artists, is an intimate artwork. The exchange embraced old fashioned ways of connecting, highlighting their timelessness, significance and purpose. Through the letters, each artist shared experiences, stories and creative processes, informing the creation of this collaborative, multisensory exhibition.

A Kiwi comedy spoken entirely in an improvised, gibberish-esque language with English subtitles, Nude Tuesday is an utterly singular excursion into miscommunication, full frontal nudity and self-discovery. In an effort to rekindle the spark in their troubled marriage, 40-somethings Laura (Jackie van Beek) and Bruno (Damon Herriman) head to a three-day couples’ retreat run by relationship and sexual healing guru Bjorg Rasmussen (Jemaine Clement). Upon arrival, the path to their reconnection is met with hilarious and increasingly absurd farce.

Golden Blood feels like a big-screen thriller, even though it’s got a cast of two. Playing out on the neon streets of Singapore, it desperately claws back the extreme wealth it once knew, holding a rusty machete between its teeth. Originally slated for our 2021 Season, Merlynn Tong’s Golden Blood is back and hungrier than ever in 2022. When her mother dies, a teenage girl is left alone within the four walls of the only thing she’s inherited—a decaying penthouse in the heart of Singapore. To make matters worse, she’s now in the care of her estranged brother, and he’s not exactly up to the gig. For one, he’s only a few years older than her. And two, he’s a gangster. Like, an actual one. Left with next to nothing, the orphaned siblings become a formidable, atypical corporation of two. But it’s not long before cracks begin to show. What is the trade-off for desiring excessive levels of luxury? What should be kept in this world, and what should be offered to the next?
