COMA Founder Sotiris Sotiriou walks us through ‘Unfolding Fields’, Eleanor Louise Butt’s first solo presentation with the gallery.

On view through 27 June, 2026. At 37 Chapel Street, Marrickville.

Currently on view at Espace Louis Vuitton Venezia in parallel with the 61st International Art Exhibition — La Biennale di Venezia, Lu Yang’s solo presentation DOKU The Illusion brings together original sculptures and a new video work centred on the artist’s latest film.

As the fourth chapter in the ongoing DOKU series, the exhibition extends Lu Yang’s long-running exploration of consciousness, identity, and the constructed body across physical and virtual space. First initiated in 2019, the DOKU series continues to unfold as an expansive narrative project. Curated by Claire Staebler

Opening tonight from 6pm, Australian artist Eleanor Louise Butt presents her first solo exhibition with COMA, titled Unfolding Fields, on view at 37 Chapel Street, Marrickville.

These paintings operate as sites of embodied experience and entangled encounters. They are connected, open-ended events in which no mark feels final, and clarity is intentionally held at bay. In the studio, works are improvised in the moment, allowing intention and ambiguity to unfold through the embodied process of painting. They reflect a desire for immersion within a scene, or within the painting itself. In this way, the paintings function as worlds of their own, connected to the all-at-onceness of lived sensation, unfolding at varying scales and intensities.

Opening this Friday, Unfolding Fields, a solo exhibition by Australian artist Eleanor Louise Butt.

“This new body of works evokes a sensation of being bodily surrounded by light and shade, by a density of colours and forms. By unearthing the analogy of the garden, I have come to experience the paintings themselves as sites of physical immersion and embodied encounter.”

Friday 15 May, 6 - 8pm, 37 Chapel Street, Marrickville.

We would like to wish Australian artist Shan Turner-Carroll (b. 1987) happy birthday! In celebration we would like to take a look back at some of Turner-Carroll’s exhibition highlights.

Deeply fascinated with unearthing tacit knowledge, his practice integrates mediums including photography, sculpture, performance and film. Turner-Carroll’s practice interrogates both human and non-human nature, alternative forms of social exchange and interactions between art, artist and viewer: sending and receiving signals.

South Korean-born artist Young-jun Tak has been interviewed for to Be’s recent article ‘Young-jun Tak on Sameness and Difference’, by Oscar Bloomfield.

On his practice Young-jun Tak said “There is a word in Korean, 𝘫𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘬-𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘢, which has two meanings: to refine a text and to carve and chisel something hard, such as a jewel. It is a form of proofreading, but it is as though you’re literally sculpting words and text. This verb is consistent throughout my practice—from editing to sculpture.”

First look at Unfolding Fields, Eleanor Louise Butt's first solo exhibition at COMA, opening Friday 15 May, 6–8pm.

These paintings operate as sites of embodied experience and entangled encounter. Approaching paintings as sites for experimentation and discovery, the works move beyond depiction, unfolding as perceptual worlds that invite a sense of being within the painting itself. They are connected, open-ended events in which no mark feels final, and clarity is intentionally held at bay.

First look at Unfolding Fields, Eleanor Louise Butt's first solo exhibition at COMA, opening Friday 15 May, 6–8pm.

These paintings operate as sites of embodied experience and entangled encounter. Approaching paintings as sites for experimentation and discovery, the works move beyond depiction, unfolding as perceptual worlds that invite a sense of being within the painting itself. They are connected, open-ended events in which no mark feels final, and clarity is intentionally held at bay.

37 Chapel Street, Marrickville, 2204.

Drawing on Buddhist cosmology alongside visual languages of video games, anime and science fiction, the work reflects Lu Yang’s ongoing interest in multiplicity, embodiment and perceptual change.

Final weeks to experience the work.

Young-jun Tak premieres a new work with Videoart at Midnight as part of Loop Plus, Busan.

Pulsating (2026) continues Tak’s ongoing Ways of Lives series (2022–ongoing), drawing a connection between a centuries-old fishing ritual on Gadeok Island and a solitary figure moving through Berlin’s Tiergarten. Across these parallel scenes, Tak draws connections between labour, masculinity and queer desire, sustaining a quiet tension between observation, anticipation and the search for connection.

On view through 26 April, 2026.
Grand Josun Busan, South Korea.
