COMA Sydney

The Master of Three Worlds group exhibition is on at Sydney’s COMA gallery, opening August 4 and running to September 10.

The show explores new developments, friendships, adaptations and ways in which “practice expands and changes over time,” and includes work by Seth Birchall, Christopher Day, Eugene Choi, Mason Kimber, Jason Phu, Tom Polo and Marian Tubbs.

The exhibition title references The Hero’s Journey narrative template in which “a protagonist is exposed to unexpected hardship and trial and returns to their initial setting having completed a transformative journey.”

The A Screen of Flesh group exhibition at Sydney’s COMA gallery, opening May 26 and running to June 23.

The show features work by Nicholas Cheveldave, Will Cooke, Tschabalala Self and Athena Papadopoulos and is defined by the press release as “an exploration of complementary notions: attitudes towards the human body as a physical object and organism, and the various personalities and lives that inhabit the flesh.”

Exploring subject matter from stereotype, media, relationships and emotion, the works deal with the complexity of the body itself and how it is mediated in ‘contemporary thought.’ The exhibition is put on in conversation with Dominik Mersch Gallery, who are showing work by Meng-Yu Yan in Occulere and Lucas Davidson in I am a Strange Loop.
