The White Rabbit Gallery is open

Current exhibition

“Lumen” – March – November 2021

From the blindingly brilliant to the dim and diffused, White Rabbit’s new exhibition looks to the light to reveal the overlooked and intangible. With works by more than 25 artists from China and Taiwan, visitors will traverse harsh fluorescents, digital realties and literal cracks of lightning to uncover the invisible architecture that shapes our world.

We are working on our new and improved website.

We are almost there! A few snaps meanwhile of what we are up to…

Happy Sunday 🎶 Start your morning with @genesisowusu courtesy of our friends @phoenixcentralpark 🌹 If you look closely, you may even spy some special works from the White Rabbit Collection, including Yu Hong and Zanele Muholi. Click on the link in our bio to watch 'The Fall' by Genesis Owusu, performed and recorded live at Phoenix.

Director’s Statement:
Entrapment, both personal and societal, physical and psychological, stands front and centre of ‘The Fall’. In this live performance film, Genesis Owusu is bound literally and metaphysically within increasingly oppressive situations in which microphones, art and architecture act as instruments of torture. His raw, ferocious performance manifests constant tension within his various restraints, in a bold statement on race, representation and the artist’s own sense of claustrophobia.

Peter shared with a blast from the past! Our 7th exhibition 'Double Take' which ran between September 2012 – January 2013. "This showcase defined what art I dwell into today" 🥰 We are so glad this exhibition resinated with you and that you are still a visitor/friend of the gallery today! Thank you Peter! We hope the White Rabbit care package brings you some joy in this difficult time.

Now, the question is... do we drape our Teahouse cages in ferns again? 🤔

Lucy written by Judith Neilson is a short story with some punch. A true story about a stray dog barely alive, adopted and eventually a life saver. A story hard and dark, a story bright and positive. In the French folds you’ll find beautiful line drawings by Paris based Icinori

The White Rabbit Gallery is CLOSED today, but that doesn't mean you have to miss out! 😘 Here's a little bit about Feng Chen's 'W' which is in our current exhibition LUMEN

Feng Chen creates videos, sculptures and hypnotic installations that investigate the synchronization between visuals and audio. In the kinetic sound sculpture, ‘W’, a carved wooden ring rotates as an amplified baton traces the undulations of the wood. Attached to the baton is a tiny computer-like device that converts the rise and fall of the baton into pink noise. Pink noise has more bass than white noise (whirring fans and humming air conditioners) but less than brown noise (strong waterfall and thunder). Common examples are waves crashing, steady rainfall and rustling leaves. Whilst momentarily disconcerting, the overall experience of ‘W’, is surprising yet calming. Unlike other works by the artist which actively seek to unnerve the viewer, this particular installation has an intriguing hypnotic quality.

The White Rabbit Gallery is CLOSED today, but that doesn't mean you have to miss out! 😘 Here's a little bit about Wang Po-Yu's 'Unreal Ink' which is in our current exhibition LUMEN

Wang Po-Yu’s digital projection of fog and ink splotches picks up on the idea of the illusive and unattainable suggested by the proverb, to create a ‘smoke and mirror’ installation with the viewer as an active participant in the illusion.
“Interaction is the main element of most of my works, as I like to play with ideas of perception and reality. We are deceived by the fiction that we are in control of what we want and hope to get out of life. In reality, we are powerless; just like grains of sand blown about by a desert wind. Viewers who interact with the work will respond in different ways to this realisation."

The White Rabbit Gallery is CLOSED today, but that doesn't mean you have to miss out! 😘 Here's a little bit about Li Yongzheng's 'Look! Look!' which is in our current exhibition LUMEN

Every 13 seconds, a single air bubble ascends from the bottom Li Yongzheng’s water-filled cube, gently disrupting the surface. The simple form invites us to look beneath the surface and see what is reflected back. “Some people see peace or love, while others see horror and hatred” the artist says, “but regardless, each will see the occasional bubble rise slowly to the surface and burst.” Li entreats us to pause, reflect and consider the impermanence of all things.

The White Rabbit Gallery is CLOSED today, but that doesn't mean you have to miss out! 😘 Here's a little bit about Wu Daxin's 'Ashley's Heart' which is in our current exhibition LUMEN

‘Ashley’s Heart’ was inspired by the near-fatal illness and hospitalisation of Wu’s friend and colleague, Australia arts writer, Ashley Crawford. For the ‘Year of Australian Culture in China’ in 2010, three Australian artists and three Chinese artists were funded by the Australia Council to make an arduous journey together. It was in Tibet, somewhere higher than 4000-metres above sea-level, where Crawford collapsed with a combination of altitude sickness and an infection complicated by diabetes. He spent four days in intensive care in a Hong Kong hospital, where Wu saw him, attached to tubes, ventilators and other life-saving machines. He said, “The only thing that showed he was alive was the fact that his heart was pumping.” At that point, Wu decided to make a work to record this shared experience.
