Announcing: Ghost March - a solo exhibition by @josephcbotica Ghost March is a series of ceramic footwear sculptures made during my 6 week residency at House Conspiracy. In each pair of shoes I imagine the lost wayfarers of earth, paying respect to forgotten voyages. An empty shoe evokes the body which once was its wearer. In the empty shoes details, a journey is documented. Ghost March will be open on Friday, 18.07.25 from 5pm-7pm. 42 Mollison Street, West End. Free Entry The team at House Conspiracy acknowledge that this event will take place on the stolen lands of the Jagera and Turrbal people. Their sovereignty was never ceded. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Please join us next Sunday the 4th of May for our resident @gretelchapman.art solo exhibition: Body Diaries. Gretel Chapman (she/her) is an emerging artist whose practice explores how layers of contemporary Western social conditioning shape perceptions of the female body. Through the use of traditionally feminine textiles—altered to evoke bodily presence—and self-portraiture, she examines tensions around control, representation, and self-image. In this body of work, Chapman incorporates materials such as latex and employs sculptural processes to consider the body not only as subject, but as printmaker tool—probing the space a body can occupy and the weight of power it carries. Body Diaries will be open 04.05.25 from 4:00-9:00pm 42 Mollison Street, West End.
