Overview

This is a biggie. Casula Powerhouse will be celebrating 21 years with an all-star group show and a killer birthday bash to boot. Harking back to 1994, their year of birth, the festivities held on Saturday, October 17, will be a combination of ‘90s dance party, bush doof, and television variety show.

The night will feature special events such as Stephen Mushin’s popular Colourpult, which will fire ‘colour bombs’ into the walls of the museum as a non-polluting reimagining of its former life as a Coal Power Station. There will also be children’s workshops, roaming karaoke sessions and an 'edible dessert landscape', whatever that means.

The exhibition will pay tribute to a host of emerging and established Australian artists, all of whom have contributed to the cultural development of Casula Powerhouse in some capacity. 21 will feature work from Gordon Bennett, Vivienne Binns, Daniel Boyd, David Capra, Rosie Deacon, Christine Dean, Mikala Dwyer, Fiona Foley, Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro, Deborah Kelly, Angelica Mesiti and many more.
