Through A Glass Darkly
7pm | Artist Talk with Karina Seljak x Samuel Markovic facilitated by Ruby Donohoe
IN | ARI’s 2024 Cellmate artists, Karina Seljak and Samuel Markovic, in their end-of-residency exhibition. THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY is a sensuous installation that contemplates vessels as a transcendent form. Karina’s pastel visions and Samuel’s soundscaping come together in conversation in a blurring of both earthly and unearthly terrains.
Through a series of restricted access points, visitors can experience Karina’s finger-blended, fine gradient pastel works and Sam’s experimental drone, sonic landscapes. Both artists’ spatial approach to sound and colour invite visitors through a spectrum of recognisable forms to the transcendentally uncontainable.
By activating rooms once used to contain bodies, The Old Lock Up itself becomes a resonant vessel, reflecting ways of transforming sensuous media – or indeed complete emptiness – into imagined realities.

ARTIST TALK | Hope O'Chin x Perrin Ellis
Friday 4 August | 5.30pm - 7pm | Book Tickets Here
IN | artist run initiative invites you to join artists Hope O’Chin and Perrin Ellis as they discuss their recent exhibition Sugar Ghosts x Inmates.
An intimate critical conversation unpacking the role of archive as both a living and lived artefact, the traditions of the archivist, and what is made both present + obliterated in the course of creating record.
Talk Soon/ Cool Fountains
Join us for the opening of Talk Soon / Cool Fountains, a group exhibition curated by IN | artist run initiative that informs and explores narratives around personal identity and lived experience. Intimate understandings of the personal are weaved and materialise through, video, painting, sculpture, installation, and performance. The artists in the exhibition pull from an ecology of their daily life and facilitate alternative modes of storytelling to position an affirmative point of view of their lived experiences of queer identity, living with a speech disorder and managing trauma.
