Imperial Slacks: Cosmic Love Wonder Lust
This is one reunion you ought to lock in this month.
Overview
The Slackers are a Sydney-based collective of artists. They formed in 1997 and were active until 2002. Using a rundown residential dwelling in Surry Hills, the group developed a collection of studios and social spaces – building a bubbling hub of interdisciplinary activity.
Imperial Slacks had a big impact on Australia’s cultural landscape. Some of the group members include big guns like Shaun Gladwell, Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro, Wade Marynowsky, Chris Fox, Angelica Mesiti and The Kingpins.
This month will see a double venue retrospective of their work along with a few new commissions. Spread across Sydney College of the Arts and Campbelltown Arts Centre, Cosmic Love Wonder Lust will be something of a reunion. Curated by Nicholas Tsoutas, the show will feature a suite of mixed media works, examining the collaborative dialogue between artists as well as revisiting the role of the artist run space.
You can head along to the opening at SCA on August 14, which will be opened by Mike Parr, or the opening at Campbelltown Arts Centre on August 15.
