UPCOMING EXHIBITION

Anarchive: knowledge follows form

27 April – 19 June 2026

In this solo exhibition, Bridget Currie brings the sleeping objects of FUMA's post-object art collection to life. Following strategies of unpacking, expanding and contracting, re-viewing and re-making—even snail-driven “digestion”—Currie has developed new works in dialogue with the archive of 1970s experimental art.

Guided by the conceptual legacies of Ngarrindjeri artist Trevor Nickolls (1949–2012), Dreamtime to Machinetime explores the intersection of ancestral memory and modern machinery in the work of contemporary First Nations artists and considers the speculative futures their practices propose.
