Enjoy an afternoon of conversations with South West Survey artists Lyn Nixon, Deidre Robb and James Walker at Holmes a Court Gallery this Saturday.

As part of the inaugural 'South West Biennial 2026: Tracework', the Survey brings together 28 artists from across WA's south western regions to explore the idea of trace through marks, memory, material, place and connection.

๐Ÿ“… Saturday 5 September

Lyn Nixon's 'Pernicious' explores family, memory and the lasting scars of alcohol-related trauma, transforming childhood photographs onto ceramic gin bottles. .robb uses textiles and stitching to reflect on peace, conflict and healing. .walker.980 explores the drama and aftermath of fire, smoke and the landscape.

Hear from the artists as they discuss their practices, inspirations and the ideas behind their work.

SOUTH WEST SURVEY / Holmes ร  Court Gallery
Part of the South West Biennial, the Survey offers a snapshot of contemporary regional practice from artists living and working across south western regions. The collection responds to the physical and cultural landscapes of regional Western Australia, a place as diverse as the artists and works produced here. Some works attend to material and process, others to image, story or memory. Some emerge from daily routines or long-term observation, others from specific sites, events or conditions.

Brought together in one place, the Survey invites works to sit alongside one another, allowing shared concerns and points of friction to surface across materials, environments, and lived experiences. Within the Biennialโ€™s framework of Tracework, attention is given to marks, impressions, and forms of contact: gestures repeated over time, traces of labour, and the ways artists register their surrounds through making.

After closing at BRAG, the Survey travelled north to the Holmes a Court Gallery in West Perth, carrying regional practice into a metropolitan context.

ON NOW / Iluka Visions 2026
Now in its 35th year, Iluka Visions is BRAG's annual exhibition dedicated to student artists from South West high schools, giving them the opportunity many artists dream of: seeing their work professionally displayed in a public gallery, often for the very first time.

This year's exhibition spans painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, wearable art, photography, video and mixed media, offering a genuine snapshot of how young people in the South West are seeing and responding to the world around them.

For many students, Iluka Visions is more than just an exhibition. Selected works are judged by a panel of arts professionals and go into the running for a range of category awards as well as overall prizes, giving students a taste of what it's like to have their work critiqued and celebrated in a competitive, professional setting.

Since 1991, countless West Australian artists and arts workers have pointed to Iluka Visions as their first real gallery experience, the moment that showed them a creative career was possible.

Iluka Visions 2026 is now on display at BRAG until Sunday, 15 November 2026.

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE / Introducing Michelle Over
We're delighted to welcome Michelle Over as our next Artist in Residence, joining us from August 2026 to October 2026 through the Pivot Artist Development Program.

Michelle's expressive paintings explore the rhythms of everyday life, drawing inspiration from ordinary moments and the people who inhabit them. Working with bold colour and an intuitive approach, her practice reflects a longstanding interest in capturing the spirit of contemporary life.

Michelle will soon be welcoming visitors who are interested in learning more about her practice, creative process, and the work she's developing during her residency. If you see the door of the Residence Studio open on your next visit to BRAG, make sure to pop in and say hello.

ON NOW | Pasar Malam / Night Market
๐˜—๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ข๐˜ณ ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ/๐˜•๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ต ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต is an immersive exhibition of large-scale screen-printed works by 15 Indonesian and Australian artists exploring the transgressive allure and vibrant energy of the Indonesian night market.

At the night market, you can buy fake Rolex watches, fried grasshoppers and amulets with โ€œmagicalโ€ powers. Skinny guys with tattoos operate carnival rides that definitely arenโ€™t safe. Thereโ€™s a haunted house and a giant python. Gangsters, pickpockets and revolutionaries lurk in the shadows. The morning market is for groceries and gossip, but the night market is the world turned upside down, where our repressed fears and desires are set loose.

In keeping with the slightly seedy, mysterious, and precarious night markets of Java, the exhibition is designed to be an immersive and engaging experience. Visitors will navigate a crowded, colourful space where 15 artists bring the chaos and permissiveness of the Night Market to life.

With each new location on Pasar Malam's journey, the teams from Krack studio and 16albermarle Project Space make a few tweaks, giving each venue its own character and creating a fresh, ever-changing experience. For BRAG, the team has added another layer of colour and nostalgia to the exhibition by lining the video tent with two new film posters. Created by two artists in their 70s, Pak Yoyok and Pak Sambodo painted movie billboards in Yogyakarta, Indonesia during the 1980s and brought their skills back to life for the Bunbury leg of the exhibition's Australian tour.

ON NOW / Billy Missi'n Wakain Thamai
Explore the powerful artistic legacy of the late Torres Strait Islander artist Billy Missi.

Deeply influenced by the storytelling, song, and dance traditions of his Wagadagam Tribe, his artistic journey combined traditional carving techniques with modern linocut methods, creating a unique aesthetic that earned international recognition before his passing in 2012.

Presented by NorthSite Contemporary Arts in partnership with Torres Strait Regional Authorityโ€™s Gab Titui Cultural Centre, and toured by Museums & Galleries Queensland, ๐˜‰๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜”๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ด๐˜ช'๐˜ฏ ๐˜ž๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ช brings together over 50 of the artist's most significant and iconic prints, including rare and never-before-exhibited monoprints, etchings, and linoprints from Djumbunji Fine Art Press and private collections.

Curated by Dr Russell Milledge, this retrospective was developed in close consultation with the Billy Missi Estate, family members and friends, highlighting Missiโ€™s critical role in the emergence of Zenadth Kes (Torres Strait) printmaking as a contemporary art form.

ON NOW / 31
Reflecting on a life committed to making, questioning and evolving, '31' celebrates over three decades of creative practice by Margaret River artist Christopher Young. It is an acknowledgment that artistic practice is rarely linear, but shaped by persistence through uncertainty, shifts in direction and the quiet accumulation of work.

'31' marks not just the passing of time, but the endurance required to sustain a creative life. In an industry often defined by visibility and validation, this exhibition foregrounds resilience. It reveals both moments of recognition and the many unseen, unresolved or deeply personal works that sit alongside them.

Spanning photography, installation, video, social practice and work within museums, Chrisโ€™ practice draws together diverse modes of making and thinking. '31' offers insight into a practice grounded in community, experimentation and long-term commitment - honouring both the visible outcomes and the processes that sustain them.
