Enraptured

Overview

The Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre is known for its slew of quirky exhibitions. But their newest exhibition, Enraptured, might just take the cake.

A collection of five separate exhibitions, Enraptured explores the concept of wrapping. Yes, I spelled it correctly; this is not a hip hop appreciation spectacle. From rock stars suited up in leather to a soprano in a wig, the showcase explores the way the clothes maketh the man and the covering maketh the object. Its sub-exhibitions include The Art of Costuming: Costumes from Opera Australia, Tony Mott Rock Photos, Christo: John Kaldor Family Collection (that's the fabric bound trees) and Next: 2013, featuring works by high school students.

A truly interesting web of connections, Enraptured may challenge viewers to consider what their everyday costumes say about themselves.

Artist talks will be held on Thursday 12 and Saturday 14 December from 10am – 11am.
