In the dark, industrial setting of Sydney’s St Peters sits the Tortuga warehouse, a space dedicated to subversive art, sculpture, live installation and music.
Children danced to psychedelic rockabilly (19 August) as dogs wandered freely off their leads, men in top hats downed tequila cocktails while lanterns threw warm shadows.

The many mixed-media works and installations commented on a society coloured with undertones of corruption, pervasive surveillance, an ominous interlude towards apocalyptic oblivion. The show promised ‘art, installation, live music and a general sense of disquiet, a long-overdue commentary on oppression and rank hypocrisy, laced with salacious indecency and crochet (allegedly)'.
