Jon Tarry is one of Western Australia’s most prolific and internationally recognised artists. Working across the spheres of socially engaged art that combines traditional modes of making with complex new forms. His work is an examination of mobility in the modern world and he’s bringing it home to Fremantle before touring internationally.
With Something in the Sky Tarry is pushing his practice into new uncertain terrain: where sculpture is at the intersection of immersive live performance. This major new solo exhibition of 35 new works, Something in the Sky, opens at PS Art Space on 4 September, bringing sculptural installation, light works and sonic artworks together into a single, participatory experience. It is setting the direction for a new body of experimental and performative work that follow on his international tour in 2027, in Amsterdam, Paris and Japan.
On 12 September, the show turns collaborative with a live performance of Baggage Handler, the ongoing sonic project between Tarry and internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter and guitarist Dom Mariani, recently returned from a sold out tour of Europe. Described as a shared, intuitive exploration of the space between departure and arrival, BaggageHandler sees the artists build an interweaving, sonically diverse world from sound, memory and transition.
Limited tickets available for the Live BaggageHandler performance – 12 Sept 7:30pm
