Join artist Nova Milne, launching their new limited edition artist book and dual-track vinyl. Blurring boundaries between artwork, archive and artefact, the project invites audiences into the dispersed world of their distinctive work Metabolic Riffs / Interiors Underground (2025). Originally an audio-visual film installation, now materialising the intersection with language, sound, image and publication. To leaf through this book of breastfed-time is to take a trip through the temporal, intersubjective landscapes of a mammal’s interiority. Five minutes of visual/sonic movement interleaved as pages, and a new audio track lyricising excerpts from Nightswimming, an original text by Jake Starr.
Location: SYRUP CONTEMPORARY, Booth F04
Join artist Damien Shen for a captivating live performance that combines storytelling, magic, and Aboriginal excellence and optimism through eye-catching card tricks. A recent Artbank Prize 2026 finalist, this performance extends Shen’s moving image work My Cuzzy Nate and the 654 Club—adapted from the classic ‘Sam the Bellhop’ multi-part card trick into a warm and personal story.
Each performance lasts approximately 10 minutes, performed at 3pm, 3:30pm, and 4pm.
Damien Shen is a South Australian man of Ngarrindjeri (Aboriginal) and Chinese descent. As an artist he draws on both of these powerful cultural influences to create works of intense personal meaning.
