Michael Parekowha, Cosmo McMurty 2006

Soft Core presents artistic practices that explore the many facets of ‘softness’—from large-scale inflatables and forms made from soft materials to materials that simply look soft. On show is work by Tully Arnot, Mikala Dwyer, Tully Moore, Tony Oursler, Michael Parekowhai, Patricia Piccinini, Todd Robinson, Koji Ryui, Kathy Temin, Louise Weaver, Simon Yates and Paul Yore. An exhibition curated by Michael Do, in conjunction with Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre and toured by Museums & Galleries of NSW.
