The List and the Line

This event has ended

Casino Marino, Friday 12th April - Monday 29th July

The List and the Line with Anne Phelan and Mark Swords brings together two very different art practices in a site specific and responsive installation at Casino Marino. Both artists interconnect conflicting histories through the act of making — with complex collage paintings, layered Joly screen photographs, text works, assemblages and sculptures. The personal is thrown together with the national, consumerism is jumbled with colonialism, visual narratives tumble into abstraction, and pleasure is maybe more pizza box than portico perfection.

The Casino is not denounced in our time as a monument to imperial excess and extravagance, but rather it is celebrated as an unlikely architectural gem and national treasure. Built as a pleasure-house, this little maison de plaisance is so much more than kitchen, dining room and bedroom. The Greek origin of the word archive is arkheion, meaning house or abode. In its conception and design this casino, or little house, was a fusion of antiquity and early modern style. Now it can be an archive of other potential histories.

Where the Earl, James Caulfield partied, we now also play. In the initial selection of works there were so many direct visual connections with shapes and textures, exotic plants & animals, and indeed parallel symbolism. To this were added new works, responding to and sometimes working against the thematics of specific rooms. The List and the Line is where both artists meet, beyond stripes and potential inventories, to find a way to structure our thinking on this incredible place.

Late Night Station

The New Theatre

Late Night Station is a sharp edged darkly comic drama that reveals how ordinary people become complicit in systems of control and denial. Blending absurd humour with political unease. Wise and Flannagan, pass the night watching surveillance screens, feeding unseen dogs, and arguing about music, conspiracy theories, and the meaning of their work. What are they actually guarding and who are the strangers who lurk close by?

Dead Pioneers

The Workman's Club

Dead Pioneers emerged as a dynamic extension of vocalist Gregg Deal’s performance art, seamlessly blending music with critical cultural commentary. Rooted in the same themes of identity and resistance that define his visual work, the band’s sound acts as a powerful platform for addressing the complexities of Indigenous experience. Deal harnesses the raw energy of post-punk and alternative influences to challenge prevailing narratives, using lyrics that provoke thought and evoke emotion. Just as his performance art confronts the legacies of colonization and systemic marginalization, Dead Pi
