“I need to get up there. I shut my eyes and call to him with my mind. My protector, my wise one. I see his black snout first peering over the edge of the opening, then a massive paw, almost bigger than me. He makes his way down to me with graceful agility. He's brought me something. A hooded cloak, a miniature of his own image. My snout, his snout, together. I climb on his back and grab his soft fur in my hands, and we go through the opening, into the sun.”

BUS Projects weekly opening hours are 12-5pm Thursday-Friday, 10-2 Saturday or by appointment.

Thank you everyone for joining us for our film screening, Cặn Cảnh, last Saturday. It was such a pleasure to have the opportunity to speak with four of the filmmakers, Lêna Bùi, Đặng Thảo Nguyên, cát nguyên, and Nguyễn Trung Nghĩa, and hear more about the stories behind their films and their working processes.

There’s something really special about coming together in person, sitting quietly alongside one another as we watch the films, bursting into laughter at unexpected moments, and then seeing all the food disappear by the end of the afternoon.

A big thank you to Cinema Con Nhà Nghèo for this wonderful collaboration and for curating such a thoughtful and meaningful selection of films. We’re so grateful to have shared this afternoon with you all.

And a very special thank you to Kyle Canavan, who worked so hard to transform the space and make it feel completely different for the screening even though it was only a one-day event.

Opening celebration Wednesday 26 August 6-8pm!

This month in Gallery 1 is Emily Greenwood's solo exhibition, ‘Trolley Herder Project’.

Emily Greenwood's 'Trolley Herder Project' maps the unseen labour and extended movements of retail workers tasked with collecting and re-arranging discarded shopping trolleys. Memory and institutional encounter underpin three video works, each documenting a distinct act of trolley herding as they play simultaneously across the space. The formative Ashfield Mall performance (2022), the extended journey between Broadway Shopping Centre and Verge Gallery (2024), and a newly conceived return to the streets of Brunswick will be brought to the walls of gallery one over the next three months, quietly celebrating the gentle choreography of retail work. A found trolley and a single speaker anchor the installation, extending the videos into sculptural presence and sonic atmosphere.

Opening celebration Wednesday 26 August 6-8pm.

This month in The Project Space is 'Bear with me', an exhibition by Andrea Meacham.

Andrea Meacham is a multidisciplinary artist working in Naarm, so-called Melbourne, Australia. They act as a medium of their own life, transmuting emotionally charged past experiences into material and aural installations, revealing tender inner worlds laced with magical dreaming, comedy and horror-ennui. Andrea draws from cinema, pop culture, music, mythology and the occult to examine contemporary anxieties relating to fragility, shame, and grief.

'I'm standing inside a canyon. It's dark. And loud because a river runs straight through this place. From where I stand on the slippery rock precipice, my eyes are following the rushing water’s path, watching as it disappears into the belly of the cave system. I'm wearing only my swimsuit. I'm cold. I’m scared. I'm 9 years old. I look up and see an opening in the roof of this cavern. I can see the blue sky. I want to go there.'

26 Aug - 19 sept.

Our secret is finally out!

We’re delighted to announce that the seventh edition of Cinema CNN (Cinema Con Nhà Nghèo), a Vietnamese film screening program, Cặn Cảnh, is coming to Bus Projects, featuring five short films by five Vietnamese filmmakers.

In this edition, Cặn Cảnh explores the intersections between filmmaking and ecological ethics, examining the dialogue between individuals and power structures, while reflecting on cinema’s capacity to engage with landscape, ecology, and histories of place.

Join us on Saturday 15 August, from 2:00 PM for this special cross-cultural screening event and artist talk. And, of course, we’ll make sure there’s plenty of delicious Vietnamese food to enjoy together! 😤

Free to attend, more info & register via link in bio.
