Take A Journey Into The World Of Time • Rone 12 rooms, Full SensoryImmersion, ExclusiveDiningAnd And bar experiences
Step into a moment suspended in time, and get lost in an immersive art experience like no other.
A multi-sensory installation excavating meaning from the everyday, TIME • RONE projects onto a grand scale the lifelong search for beauty in decay.
Following a sell-out season in Melbourne, TIME • RONE opens its doors in AGWA’s Centenary Galleries this winter with expanded staging and a new room, exclusive to Perth.
Experience the historic Centenary Galleries like never before, as you walk, breathe and live among remnants of mid-century Australia.
Time has worn away much, and dust has settled over the detritus. But through the peeling paint and cracked ceilings, life persists. Faces search out for something, for all of eternity. Ghostly illusions from the past meld with mirrors into the future. For now, they’re all here with us, frozen in time.
From the mind of the ingenious and awarded multi-disciplinary artist Rone, the exhibition blends soundscape, mural and installation to ask questions about what we leave behind, and honours the otherwise forgotten.
Like all things, TIME • RONE is impermanent. But for a season, it invites you to exist in the same moment.
TIME • RONE: Opening Friday 28 June 2024.
Centenary Galleries
The multi-sensory journey of TIME • RONE expands to include an immersive and intimate dining experience, exclusive to AGWA.
Unrivalled decadence is bottled in each seating, and delivered through a multi-course menu inspired by the sentiments of TIME • RONE, against the backdrop of its ambient surrounds.
Time stands still for a night. Indulge in it, together.
Strictly limited bookings.
As the sun sets on the Centenary Galleries Building, the shades flutter open on Perth's newest immersive bar, exclusive to AGWA.
Opening alongside TIME • RONE in June, the bar will change the face of winter nights in the city. Beyond just exhibition visitors, the public can sample a taste of TIME•RONE through curated libations, served in surrounds that transport you through time.
ABOUT RONE
Emerging from the fertile underground street art scene in Melbourne, Rone has carved a distinct niche for himself, drawing acclaim and growing audiences to his large-scale installations that breathe life into forgotten rooms, buildings and eras. More than just murals, these are collaborations with the very spaces themselves.
Lights flicker, sound envelopes, murals cast your eye up and across. Like a puppet master pulling strings, Rone crafts the very atmosphere of your experience.
Breaking free from the confines of the traditional gallery model and embracing the impermanence inherent in painting walls, Rone descends on spaces and gives them a voice. His recent triumphs include Empire – a look at lost luxury, manifested by tides swallowing a decaying art deco mansion – and Omega, a noble final cry from the last weatherboard cottage standing, is the culmination of years, decades and a life spent chasing new artistic horizons, and stepping back to let spaces speak for themselves.
