Squash like you’ve never seen it before!

Built for a sport once among the nation’s most loved games, the walls of the Essendon courts will be taken over by this breath-taking musical battle.

Dreamed up by Speak Percussion, Squashed is a unique, site-specific contemporary music performance.

Join Kaylie Melville (vibraphone), Marshall McGuire (harp), Maria Moles (drum kit) and Rohan Dasika (bass) - as they serve and volley, drive and boast, flam and strike, bow and pluck; reimagining a forgotten sport into a tournament for percussion and strings.

This event is part of Moonee Valley Council's Art in Surprising Places program. Link in bio for details.

Experimenting with texture will be the focus in June's Gallery Sketchers session, happening this week. We will experiment with different ways to draw texture by incorporating various techniques in mark making, using a variety of pencils and tools.

The exhibitions currently on show at Incinerator Gallery are filled with textural inspiration from fabrics to metalwork, through to ceramics and photographs rich with natural textural elements.

Thursday, 11 June, 10am
All materials are provided but feel free to bring your own pencils too.

Attendance is free, although we recommend booking via our website. Linked in bio.

Mobile-making fun at last month's Arty Tales ✨

Last Friday’s Arty Tales saw our creative young participants and their carers make colourful, textural mobiles. Guided by our Barking Spider Creative educator, Laura, the children were led through a physical treasure hunt inside the room, exploring different textures, before starting on their bright, colourful artworks. Materials used were leaves, feathers, bubble wrap, shells and more.

Join us in our next session this Friday, 5 June at 9.30am. Book via the link in our bio.

‘we/us/theirs/all’ asks how we interact with our own dreams and hopes—how we contain and release them. How do we manifest collective change, and how do we enact it at a personal level?

We are living through a liminal timeline between mass extinction and the collapse of empires. Historically, humans have endured such collapses before—we have remnants of past civilisations as evidence. But what will remain after our timeline? What do we want to rebuild after collapse, and how do we hold hope for future generations?

‘we/us/theirs/all’ is dedicated to the indomitable human spirit.

See ‘we/us/theirs/all’ in the Main Gallery until 13 June.

Join us this week for the launch of artist Edwina Green’s First Nations Playable Public Art Sculpture at its permanent site along the Maribyrnong River as part of Council’s @reconciliationaus events.

“The abstracted oyster form allows the sculpture to tell the story of the health and history of these lands and waterways. It carries an indelible commitment to fostering the knowledge embedded within Aboriginal custodianship of Country. Her work builds on the significance of this place to all people, but especially young ones—its past, its present, and its future.” - Myles Russell-Cook, Artistic Director and CEO of ACCA

Thursday, 28 May from 3pm–5pm

Angus Scott @gussi.i is a lens-based artist, curator, and producer. His practice explores how more-than-human perspectives can open up different ways of thinking about the human condition.

Working across moving image, photography, writing, and publication, he often engages with themes of life cycles, colonial inheritance, and ecological entanglement. His work has been recognised through award programs and exhibitions both internationally and in Australia.

His photographic installation ‘Tending the Invasion’ in Boadle Hall explores how ecological tensions are entangled with colonial legacies.

See ‘Tending the Invasion’ in Boadle Hall until 13 June.
