FARCE brings together a range of works by Bruno Booth, Germaine Chan, Darcy Cronin, and Pascale Giorgi that investigate themes of fiction, facade, fantasy and fallacy. The show considers how constructed edifices function to explicate desires, fears, and avenues of coping with the systems within which we are implicated. Inasmuch, ‘farce’ looks at how the virtual interfaces with the actual, and vice versa.
Bruno Booth is a Walyalup (Fremantle) based artist working across painting, sculpture, video, sound and public, interactive installation art. Booth’s work explores the complexity and dissonance that exists between the physical and the cultural. The artist often uses the motif of movement to engage with economic, social, or bodily navigation through contemporary society, unpacking topics that we’re conditioned to passively ignore or actively dismiss along the way.
Perth-based artist Germaine Chan, a Fine Arts graduate, works across painting and digital media. Her practice draws from spirituality, faith, and shared human experience, reimagining traditions through a contemporary lens. Blending material and digital processes, her works meditate on universal experience and the restless search for meaning, transcendence, and belonging.
Darcy Cronin is an emerging artist out of Boorloo / Perth currently studying a Bachelor of Creative Arts, Fine Art at Curtin University. Their work spans the mediums of printmaking, photography, digital media, and sound primarily focusing on human experience and our connection to the world while occasionally exploring the more cynical side of human nature.
Pascale Giorgi is a multidisciplinary artist, working mainly in sculpture. She has exhibited her work in numerous group and solo exhibitions in Italy and Australia. In her practice, ancient and medieval culture and visual languages are often borrowed
and repurposed to make way for mash-ups, hybrids and translations.
