Cul de Sac: Opening Night

Cul de Sac: Opening Night

Cul de Sac is a collaborative exhibition that takes its name from a piece of ordinary suburban infrastructure: a street closed at one end. You arrive, you turn around, and you leave the way you came. Not a wrong turn. Not a failure of navigation. Just a place that asks you to pause before moving on. A place that makes turning-back feel, for a moment, intentional.
The exhibition asks: what does it feel like to stand at the boundary of something: a relationship, a chapter, a version of yourself, and realise that only now, here, do you finally understand it? Each contributing work takes the Cul de Sac not as a failure of navigation, but as a natural feature of the landscape, an invitation to pause and to reckon. To make meaning out of what came before, even as life insists on moving forward.

17 artists spanning geographies with one shared human experience.

Reuben Black, Basim Boulos, Melody Crouch, Bianca De Ritis, Thomas Earnshaw, Joshua Foti, Sarah Hasselerharm, Heritier Kasanda, Jordan Nesic, Victoria Ondrusek-Roy, Ahmed Ragab, Yuxian Seow, Yuliang Seow, Tajevir Singh, Nikki Singh, Cedric Tang, and Lilybelle Tarr.
Join us for opening night and be part of the beginning. We'd love to see you there.

Cul de Sac is curated by Fault and made possible by our friends at Cheap Tongue Gallery / Case Frames, with special thanks to Wise Child.

This exhibition takes place in Walyalup on Whadjuk Country. Fault acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Whadjuk Country where we live, work, and create. We extend our respect to Elders past, present, and emerging, and thank them for their wisdom and creativity. This land has been and will always be Aboriginal land.
