Open now! The first institutional solo exhibition by Australian artist and fashion designer Jordan Gogos.

‘Parádeisos’ is framed around the Greek vision of a cultivated paradise—at once real and imagined.

In antiquity, parádeisos described enclosed gardens, carefully constructed worlds where architecture, art, and nature intertwine, and where pleasure, care, and imagination take root.

Here, it becomes a metaphor for the deeply personal and joyfully collective worlds Gogos creates with textiles, photography, sculpture and live modelling.

Visit UNSW Galleries Wednesday – Friday, 10am–5pm, and Saturday – Sunday, 12pm–5pm.

Kalisolaite ‘Uhila is a Tongan-born artist based in Aotearoa whose practice revolves around performance.

‘Koe tenga tete to tete utu pe koia’ (the seed you sow you will reap) emerges from the artist’s return to Mildura, Australia, in 2025—almost three decades after living and working in the city as a teenager.

The exhibition sees ‘Uhila retrace this formative period, reconsidering how acts of labour, masculinity, and care continue to inform his practice.

Tina Stefanou works across experimental film, performance, vocalisation, socially engaged research, and sculptural installation.

🥂 Free entry

Australian artist and fashion designer Jordan Gogos transforms ephemera into visions of paradise. His practice is open-ended and improvisational, collaging colour and texture, folk traditions with q***r sensibilities, and domestic craft with pop exuberance, to reimagine oddments as an opportunity for invention.

‘Parádeisos’ is framed around the Greek vision of a cultivated paradise, at once real and imagined. Here, it becomes a metaphor for the deeply personal and joyfully collective worlds Gogos creates.

‘Uhila marks the opening with a durational performance, peeling and offering oranges to visitors as a gesture of community.

‘Koe tenga tete to tete utu pe koia’ sees the artist retrace a formative period of time spent in Mildura as a teenager. The project explores how memory, labour, and tenderness intertwine, inviting an intimate encounter with ‘Uhila’s practice, and revealing how the seeds of our past continue to bear fruit in unexpected ways.

Announcing: On 14 May, UNSW Galleries will present the latest collection by Iordanes Spyridon Gogos as part of the 2026 AFC Australian Fashion Week.

Founded in 2021, ISG is a fashion house that merges research‑based, practice‑led sustainability with textile innovation and avant‑garde design. Led by designer Jordan Gogos, the label is recognised for its bold, sculptural garments that challenge conventional fashion norms.

For the first time in three years, ISG will also reprise the presentation for a special public audience. Tickets are available from the AFC website.

Following AFW, Jordan Gogos will also present his first institutional exhibition at UNSW Galleries. Opening on 29 May, ‘Parádesisos’ offers unprecedented insight into Gogos’s interdisciplinary practice, revealing the ambitious scale, technical complexity, and emotional intensity that define his work.

See Lillian O’Neil’s work in ‘All the World’s Memories’ before the exhibition closes this Sunday 3 May 2026.

In the exhibition’s accompanying text, Judy Annear writes on O’Neil’s practice:

“Variations in the dot screens of component images are preserved, reflective of differing origins. The titles are often laconic, redolent of the mundane, yet serve to emphasise the emotional complexity of the severed and reassembled imagery. The usual life of images is to never say what they are, only to reflect what we want to see. In O’Neil’s works, we are tantalised by the formal structures, the strength of the cuts and the montaged imagery, all of which lead us elsewhere.”

📍 Visit the exhibition this weekend:
Sat–Sun 12pm–5pm

Grant Stevens’ large‑scale projection presents a sequence of evocative words set against a shifting field of colour. The work unfolds like a PowerPoint presentation, moving back and forth through a dataset of more than 1,300 words that describe a broad spectrum of human emotions.

For the exhibition reader, Katie Dyer writes: “Somewhere in this strange cycle of abstracting and cataloguing our inner worlds, ‘Feelings’ provides a space for catharsis.”

📍 Hear from Grant Stevens in conversation with Ana Iti and Katie Dyer this Thursday 30 April.
