22.01.2022 Its a little known fact that Lenin once visited Perth in search of perfect beach and waves, considering he was an accomplished surfer. Luckily for us, local artist extraordinaire Christopher Crouch was there to hang ten with Vladimir Ilich and finaly immortalised those days of wine and Roses in his book Lenin in Perth. The book is available at our current exhibition Between the Sheets, closing this Sunday. Miss out and revolution will come knocking on your door... will you be ready to answer? Mon-Fri 10am-4.45pm, Saturday 12-4pm
