Some Like it Hot, curated by Wendy Garden, brings together two of the Northern Territory’s most respected artists: Franck Gohier and Therese Ritchie in an exhibition that reflects upon gender trouble in the tropics. Both Gohier and Ritchie consider the performative nature of gender, tracing the intersections between sweat, sex, desire and discord in Australia’s hottest and most remote capital city.

As the temperature rises around the world through global warming, Some Like it Hot presents a timely opportunity to explore the synergies and tensions in the relationship between heat, place, and gendered behaviour.
