Three weeks ago, when Perth Institute of Contemporary Art (PICA) opened its doors for its first exhibitions of 2024, many of its most frequent visitors entered its building in an entirely new way.
This is because PICA has redesigned its public entrance in anticipation of major capital works that will unfold in its precinct as part of the WA Government’s multimillion-dollar Perth Cultural Centre (PCC) rejuvenation project.
