TIME•RONE is an immersive art exhibition that breathes life into a lost era of Australian history. Hot on the heels of one's sold out and highly successful TIME installation at Flinders Street Station, Melbourne, Rone brings his signature haunting murals to Perth and AGWA's historical Centenary Galleries, with new installations exclusively for Perth audiences. AGWA will take the experience to an entirely new level when TIME opens to the public on 1 July 2024 for a 3-month season. The exhibition will take over 12 rooms, on both floors, of the historic Centenary Galleries building, each hosting immersive installations with visuals supported by a soundscape, created by composer Nick Batterham.


AGWA Director Colin Walker said, "This is the first time the Centenary Galleries will feature an immersive experience and the first time they've been fully opened in nearly 20 years. TIME will be an unmissable experience of 2024 and the hot ticket for winter in Perth," he said.


Part immersive art installation and sensory engagement, TIME will also include immersive dinners, a RONE store and a fully designed RONE-inspired bar space where visitors can linger amongst the art and dive into the RONE experience through several imaginative offerings. A multi-sensory installation excavating meaning from the evervday, TIME projects onto a grand scale the lifelong search for beauty in decay. Experience the historic Centenary Galleries like never before, as you walk, breathe, and live among remnants of mid-century Australia.


"TIME is an open-ended narrative - there's no right or wrong way to experience the space, just trails that I hope visitors will pick up. People make their own story, and every person will experience it differently," said Rone.

The exhibition will be made up of 12 rooms in the Historic Centenary Galleries, with expanded staging and a new room, exclusive to Perth. This is the first time the Centenary Galleries will feature an immersive experience and the first time the Galleries have been fully opened in nearly 20 years. The rooms will host immersive installations with visual and sound scapes. The visitor will be lead through the rooms using a storvline to take them on a journey. Rone's work is a testament to the power of transformation, breathing new life into forgotten spaces and engaging audiences in a multi-sensory journey. With each installation, he pushes the boundaries of artistic expression, inspiring viewers to question their perceptions and embrace the beauty of impermanence.
