Happy When It Rains

Overview

Unless you're Gene Kelly, there aren't too many of us that are happy when it rains. But that's the point of this collaborative exhibition hosted by craft bevvie curators MoCU and curated by the founder of the Alaska Projects, Sebastian Goldspink.

Eight Australian artists, including Bridie Connell, Jason Wing, Kate Scardifield, and Lauren Webster, have been commissioned to create the works for the exhibition. "Each of the pieces being created is dark in tone but share a sense of light," Goldspink said, revealing the dichotomous nature of the artworks that highlight their own internal oppositions. This quality of internal dissonance, however, serves to show that there is a unifying characteristic of craftsmanship behind each piece.

It's all about the craftsmanship for MoCU, too, who will be providing artisan wines and craft beer and cider matched to the artworks. Studio Neon head chef Aaron Teece will also be on-hand with a specially created canapé menu. Entry is $10 and includes a drink and a canapé.
