Coulter was shortlisted and chosen to reinvent the surface of a Lexus vehicle, for the inaugural Art series event for the Victorian Racing Federation.

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 for one night. 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.

Artists: Tia Ansell, Brud Studia, Emma Coulter, Robert Hague, Nicholas Smith, Oliver Wagner, Wendy Yu
