WHAT @ GALLERY 9, SYDNEY

The artist known as what
THE ARTIST known as what is one of the most enigmatic art identities in Sydney. MCA curator Glenn Barkley profiled what for us in 2008 and since then what‘s work has been acquired by several major collections, including the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra. For this latest exhibition at Gallery 9, provocatively entitled Satanism, the artist is “messing with notions of good and evil via Bach; a video performance of his Chaconne in D minor, works on paper and the dark art of painting.”
Until April 17th
