PICA is pleased to present the first Australian showing of award winning multi-screen video installation Sekilala by Yuka and Kentaro Shimura, a Japanese brother and sister artistic duo that work together as SHIMURABROS.

SHIMURABROS are well known in Japan and across Asia and Europe for their inventive and pioneering approach to the motion picture. With Sekilala (2006-2008) the SHIMRABROS have taken their interest in the motion picture into a new realm by extending film beyond its two-dimensional limitations and employing advanced 3D technology and virtual reality programming.

Sekilala, is a three-screen immersive video installation, shot on super 16mm, filmed in Prague and with a storyline inspired by the controversial image of a mouse with what appears to be a human ear growing on its back. A family drama in which the father is obsessed with bio-furniture erratically unfolds in multiple, fractured stories. Projected onto three screens and randomly configured in twenty-six short sequences, the same story is never experienced twice, and the viewer becomes the editor of an infinite and complex film.

Hours: Tuesday - Sunday 11am - 6pm
Cost: FREE

Objects to Live By: The Art of John Meade is the first major survey exhibition of one of Australia’s leading sculptors and is currently on display PICA.

Featuring more than 17 sculptural works ranging in scale from intimate objects on table tops to architecturally scaled wall works, this exhibition brings together Meade’s larger floor-based and suspended forms, smaller 'table sculptures', and an ensemble from a collaborative installation.

Often employing geometry and soft organic forms, John Meade works in an intuitive way to materialise his ideas, creating tightly orchestrated pieces that explore the metaphysical, the surreal and the fetishistic. Tapping into the real and the subconscious, playing with scale and expectation, Meade uses minimalism and messiness, the deliberate and the accidental, to explore extremes of form and intensities of emotion.

John Meade is a critically acclaimed Melbourne-based artist who has exhibited in many solo and group exhibitions since 1995. His work is also held in numerous collections, including those of Monash University; the Museum of Contemporary Art; Heide Museum of Modern Art and the National Gallery of Victoria.

Hours: Tuesday - Sunday 11am - 6pm
Cost: FREE

An interest in diagrams, patterns, series and systems by eight influential contemporary artists are the focus of this critical new exhibition at PICA.

Love of Diagrams brings together over 50 key works by leading and emerging international and Australian artists, many of whom who will be exhibited for the first time this country.

This major group exhibition shows a range of recent and early work from each artist and in doing so considers a constellelation of complex practices. Embracing drawing, collage, painting, photography, sculpture, sound art and installation, this exhibition questions the origins of these artists' obsessions with all things diagrammatic and what this signals as a means of representing, mapping and articulating current ideas.

Artists: Armando Andrade Tudela (Peru), Bradford Bailey (USA/UK), Jose Damasceno (Brazil) Natasha Dusenjko (Vic), Marita Fraser (Australia/Austria), Joyce Hinterding (NSW), Bojan Sarcevic (Bosnia/France), David Thomson (WA)
