BeQuest ReVolution
Rikard Fåhraeus & Kate Koivisto Wheeler
​

16 December 2018 to 14 February 2019

Rikard Fåhraeus (Stockholm, Sweden) and Kate Koivisto Wheeler (Perth, Australia) met briefly at "Meetings" at Supermarket Art Fair 2014. They have since then stayed in touch via e-mail. Some months after the meeting they started sending each other leads, traces, hints and evidence that there is something to be found, each finding connected to the one before. 

In April 2018, a two-week focus on this process, BeQuest, was presented at Studio 44, Stockholm, in the Studio 44 group exhibition Bestruction (stage 2).  In September 2018, another version of BeQuest was exhibited during Berlin Art Week 2018 at >top, Berlin, in Bestruction (stage 3), Fåhraeus and Koivisto Wheeler walking the streets of Berlin each day in their quest, which was presented on the gallery wall. They also produced a book, BeQuest, an artists’ edition of 8, from 26 days of their process in August, and included this in the exhibition at Berlin.

Beginning with hammering a pin through two books featured in the Stockholm exhibition, "La Place de l’Étoile” by Patrick Modiano, and “Earthly Paradise” by Colette, the process for BeQuest ReVolution involved each sending an exhortation to the other, which led to an action, from which the next exhortation was found. Then came a process of developing artworks from reflections and interpretations of the results.

Guest exhibitor Ian Haig at Peek-a-Boo Gallery, in conjunction with 'Unhallowed Arts'

'Some Thing', Ian Haig, mixed media, 2011
17 October - 14 November

​Gotham Studios is delighted to host Ian Haig's 'Some Thing' at Peek-a-Boo Gallery in conjunction with UWA and SymbioticA's 'Unhallowed Arts' festival celebrating the 200th anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein'.

'Some Thing' is a fusion of David Cronenberg's 'New Flesh' and William S. Burroughs' transmuted bodies that populate 'The Naked Lunch'. When referring to the junkie's mutating body in 'The Naked Lunch', Burroughs sees it as losing its "human citizenship and was in consequence, a creature without a species'.

'Some Thing' is too perhaps a creature without a species, an aberration of flesh, guts and gristle that renders the human body an unclassifiable meat. It is what Burroughs refers to as un-D.T. - Undifferentiated Tissue, a condition whereby the body and its flesh liquefies and transforms into a new form.

Currently a subletting artist in residence at Gotham Studios, Sharon Callow is a recent visual arts graduate from Edith Cowan University, and winner of the Louise Macfie Painting Prize, the university’s painting residency for 2018, and the NAVA Ignition Prize. Primarily a painter, her practice also utilises photography, digital media and textiles. This work, on show at Peek-a-Boo Gallery during August and September, is from her current project To sleep, perchance to dream. In this project Sharon seeks to create quiet, reflective spaces into which one could retreat. Begun as a response to insomnia, these works are intended to offer a respite from the informational overload and multiple responsibilities entailed in attempting to lead an ethically, socially, politically and environmentally aware existence.

​15 May – 15 June, 2018


In preparation for her exhibition, Landscape of Bloom at Linton & Kay Galleries, West  Perth later this year, Gotham artist Magda Joubert has prepared some new designs for large scale paintings in the making.

The new designs were inspired by Joubert’s successful completion of a commission in 2017 to paint 187 paintings for the new Intercontinental Hotel Perth. The theme for hotel commission was native Western Australia wildflowers, and birds found in Perth bushland. 

Prints of the designs will rotate, with two new works showing every 4th day, during the months of May/June, at Peek-a-Boo gallery, Gotham Studios.
