Olga Cironis and Duncan Wright were collaborative partners in their Know Thy Neighbour #3 residency, working with the City of Armadale. The pair drew inspiration for their work from a series of staged encounters with residents of the Harrisdale and Piara Waters areas.

On Wednesday 22 March and Thursday 23 March we have two public program events to add depth and context to the currently installed Know Thy Neighbour #3 exhibition at Cullity Gallery.

The Know Thy Neighbour #3 exhibition catalogue is intended to be read as a companion piece to the works on show at Cullity Gallery until 25 March 2023.

Olga Cironis and Duncan Wright continue their work in Armadale.

Olga Cironis and Duncan Wright’s interventional artwork Unrestrained Passion for Armadale has taken over the latest edition of the Examiner Newspapers.

The paper, which has regular distribution across the City of Armadale, City of Gosnells, and the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale, features a double-page spread of portrait shots of residents to the Harrisdale/Piara Waters neighbourhoods, who have spent time with the artists over this month and offered their insight into their relationship with its changing landscape. The artwork, is also one out of a series of interventions that Cironis and Wright have facilitated with the provocation to investigate belonging within the social and cultural landscape of Armadale.

The quote “Unrestrained Passion For Armadale” takes from a reflection made by a local resident when considering with the artists their sense of place within the Armadale community.

If you live within the City of Armadale, City of Gosnells, or the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale, you may have caught a glimpse of this image in yesterday’s edition of the Examiner Newspapers.

Together Cironis and Wright have been meeting with members of the Harrisdale/Piara waters community to gather stories and photo documentation, which will be slowly released over this month and later culminating in an exhibition at Cullity Gallery in February 2023.

Keep your eyes peeled for more mentions in the paper to see what more is to come.

Through Spaced’s Know Thy Neighbour #3 program, Olga Cironis and Duncan Wright work with the community of Armadale.
