Breakfast at Tiffany's (After Tiffany’s, Querelle)

to 20 June

Breakfast at Tiffany's (After Tiffany’s, Querelle)

Breakfast at Tiffany’s negotiates within the theatrical moments of performance as a playful subversion of marginalisation. By taking on archetypes of cinema, costuming, medieval folklore, within domestic and everyday settings; this exhibition views play as an act of care, and absurdity an opportunity to speculate subversive futures.

Framed by the voices of emerging artists, ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ exists within proximal relation to both the artists, and the conditions that shaped their practice. By opening space for their collective dialogue, this exhibition champions the forefront of grassroots practices and their exciting practices.

'Weatherworks' with Timo Kube and CHAUFFEUR

to 30 May

'Weatherworks' with Timo Kube and CHAUFFEUR

This is the first iteration of the new collaboration between CHAUFFEUR and Imprint

Opening reception May 9, 3-5pm for Timo Kube’s fourth solo exhibition Weatherworks.

Kube´s meticulous attention to aesthetics and the tangible qualities of mineral materials informs his unique colour palette. The Weatherwork series continues Kube´s pursuit of experience in physical action, process and change. This may arise through the prolonged labour of artistic creation and maintenance with a strong sensibility to how the surface may appear (or disappear).

The choice of minerals and his rigorously observant practice with determination, and analysis in their own specific aesthetic properties are examined. Coined by the artist as`monomineralic painting` - referring to Kube´s unique concept of mineral composition or the observations of a material surface derived from a single mineral source - red earth clay, iron pyrite, flint, porphyry and volcanic rock to indigo, a plant based pigment.

The exhibition is open from May 6, Wednesday to Saturday 1-5pm.

The Imprint Artist Party

Imprint Australia’s recent event took the form of a loosely structured party, where the focus was less on programming and more on creating an open, shared space. With music running throughout the night, the atmosphere developed organically as people moved between dancing, conversation, and chance encounters.

Rather than centring a single performer or moment, the event was shaped by the collective presence of those who attended. Friends and strangers alike contributed to the tone of the night, with the energy building gradually through participation.

Simple in its format, the gathering highlighted how a space, a sound system, and a group of people can come together to produce a sense of connection, one that isn’t planned in advance, but emerges through being there.

‘Staying with the Trouble’ with Rofe Street Gallery

‘Staying with the Trouble’ with Rofe Street Gallery

Staying with the Trouble brought together artists who refuse distance in a world marked by entangled lives, shared vulnerabilities, and ongoing struggle. Drawing on Donna Haraway’s call to “stay with the trouble” to remain present with complexity rather than turn away, this exhibition invited viewers to consider kinship as an active, ethical practice. Here, kinship was not a metaphor but commitment: to living and dying well together on a wounded planet, to recognising our responsibilities within overlapping worlds, and to standing with those facing dispossession and violence.

Presented as a fundraiser for humanitarian aid in Palestine, the exhibition held space for art as solidarity. The works gathered here insisted that care is not abstract; it is material, situated, and urgent. By attending closely to the fragile, interdependent threads that bind us, Staying with the Trouble asked how we might respond, with clarity, courage, and compassion, to the crises we inherit and the futures we are still shaping.

With almost $5,000 raised for rebuilding universities in Gaza, and over 350 guests at the opening night. Staying with the Trouble was a massive cultural success on the its local scale, proving that radical arts and community still hold space during times of intense separation.
