REVERB
Amongst the ornate interiors of Labassa—a Victorian mansion steeped in the grandeur of gilded surfaces, layered histories, and bohemian afterlives—the work of seven contemporary artists whose practices engage with time, materiality, and the poetics of place, come together over two special evenings. Once the haunt of silent film stars, renegade creatives, and eccentrics, Labassa provides a charged context for their works that oscillate between tradition and reinvention.
