Celebrated Australian artist Rone takes centre stage at Chadstone’s Light to Night festival with his first major exhibition in three years.
Known for his large-scale installations created within abandoned and forgotten buildings, Rone combines portraiture, interiors, sound and atmosphere to create emotionally charged environments that blur the line between art, reality and storytelling.
This immersive exhibition reconstructs a Chadstone shopfront as a familiar yet disquieting Australian weatherboard house. Visitors step inside a space that feels at once intimate and nostalgic, where materially rich, time-worn interiors sit in contrast to the controlled architecture of the centre.
This deliberate friction sharpens Rone’s enduring fascination with the interplay of beauty and decay, impermanence and human connection, inviting moments of quiet reflection within an unexpected setting.
HOME is experienced as a 20-minute walk-through, allowing audiences to fully absorb the detail, mood and emotion of the space at a considered pace. Please note the exhibition includes immersive sound elements, including some louder moments throughout.
This is a free event. Bookings are strongly encouraged, with limited walk-up access available on the day, subject to availability.
