AUSART DAY // DONATE TO POP

This year, POP will be taking part in AusArt Day!

AusArt Day is an initiative that mobilises artists and arts organisations across Australia to raise money in support of their creative projects and ongoing activities. Culminating in one powerful day of collective action, AusArt Day aims to elevate the visibility, reach, and impact of arts fundraising.

Have you visited an exhibition at POP recently? Have you attended an artist talk, read a catalogue essay, or visited an artist’s studio?

These are just some of the ways that POP supports artists, curators, and arts workers to develop their professional practices, connect with communities, and engage new audiences. By donating to POP for AusArt Day, you can not only help us continue to deliver transformative opportunities for South Australian artists but also amplify their voices on a national scale. POP is proud to be part of this nationwide movement in celebration of creativity and the future of arts in Australia.

If you like what we do here at POP, consider donating to us this AusArt Day to help make art happen.

SCOTT PYLE // CUTBACK

A cutback is a surfing manoeuvre that brings the surfer back into the power of the wave, allowing them to regain speed and momentum before moving forward again. It is a fitting metaphor for this exhibition, which reflects on 17 years of Scott Pyle's artistic practice while looking towards what comes next.

Rather than presenting a chronological survey, ‘Cutback’ brings together works through recurring themes that have shaped Pyle’s practice over nearly two decades. Pop culture, surf culture, fantasy, monsters, systems, patternmaking and Adelaide's rail history are woven together to reveal an artist whose work is driven by curiosity, imagination and a fascination with how ideas connect.

Pyle transforms these enduring interests into bold, energetic paintings filled with colour, movement and repetition. His practice celebrates both playful storytelling and carefully structured systems, offering insight into a unique way of seeing and interpreting the world.

ANH TRAN + THU HUONG (ABIGAIL) NGUYEN // SCORCHED EARTH

‘Scorched Earth’ is an exhibition portraying the lingering, intergenerational trauma of Agent Orange. Combining traditional folklore and metalcraft with speculative digital worldbuilding, the project visualises the persistent, unseen scars of the Vietnam War across environments, bodies, and memory.

Central to the project is the tension between historical weight and mythic storytelling. Tran and Nguyen reframe chemical contamination not merely as a historical event, but as a monstrous creature that casts shadow and fear across multi-generations.

‘Scorched Earth’ transforms a post-war landscape into a living archive. The exhibition challenges our perceptions of history and healing—asking what happens when the land itself refuses to forget, and when the remnants of war continue to peer from beneath the surface.

Artworks pictured: 1. Thu Huong (Abigail) Nguyen, ‘Untitled’, 2025, acrylic on wood panels, 255 x 153 cm. 2. Anh Tran, ‘Trace of Stillness: A Journey Home’, 2026, short film, 24 minutes 27 seconds.

Exhibition dates:
Wednesday 30 September - Saturday 31 October 2026
