Publication for the exhibition Fantastic Forms @bundanontrust .⁠ Featuring artists Merric Boyd, Nabilah Nordin @nabnordi , Stephen Benwell @stephenbenwell8518 , Rubyrose Bancroft @rubyrosebancroft ⁠ ⁠ The exhibition featured over 200 works from the Bundanon Collection in dialogue with new large-scale sculptures by Nabilah Nordin, a series of ceramic figures by Stephen Benwell and stop-motion videos by emerging Bundjalung artist Rubyrose Bancroft. Beginning with Merric Boyd’s idiosyncratic approach to artmaking, fantastic forms expanded from well-known ceramic work into his energetic and playful drawing practice, all of which was underpinned by the spiritual philosophy of love and connection that ran through his life and work.

Exhibition for Rebel Heart @library_vic ⁠ ⁠ Exhibition text⁠ ⁠ The rebel heart wants what it wants.⁠ ⁠ It is not bound by what is convenient, realistic or expected. It is not swayed by reason, counsel or opinion.⁠ ⁠ Across cultures and time, humans have used language and music to express the heart’s desires, translating love and longing into letters, poems and songs. This exhibition brings together an array of these intimate declarations from State Library Victoria’s collection, sent and received over the last 170 years.⁠ ⁠ Today, AI can draft our letters, craft our texts and even act as a substitute for our real-life relationships. The scribbly, imperfect messages in Rebel Heart contrast with these tidy and obedient automations. Blotched, misspelled, crossed out or un-sent; adorned with pet names, private jokes and drawings in the margins, they commemorate the messy humanness of love.⁠ ⁠ Contained in these handmade tokens are stories of resilience and romance. They reveal love not as sentiment alone, but as a generative force: a driver of social change, a bringer of hope and a spring of creative inspiration.⁠ ⁠ New songs by Amos Roach, Angie McMahon, Mindy Meng Wang and Mo’Ju, and artworks by Drew Pettifer and Paul Knight, take inspiration from the courageous hearts within these stories.⁠ ⁠ A soundscape in the centre space by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis reflects on what it means to love: the rushes and the risks.⁠ ⁠ Collaborators: ⁠ (Curators) Georgia Goud, Georgia Knight and Isabel Baker with Angela Bailey (Producer) Maree 幸 Williams⁠ (Design) @studiopeterking and @melaniehuang_ ⁠ ⁠ Photo @will.neill

Art Direction and Photography for @aesop

Exhibition design with and for @threefivefivethree ⁠ ⁠ Immobilities was an exhibition curated by OFFICE, Jack Isles, Mark Romei, and U-P, featuring work by Border Forensics; Faculty of Arts - University of Melbourne; Forensis; INDEX; LIMINAL; the Manus Recording Project Collective; Mark Romei; and The Investigative Commons⁠ ⁠ Curatorial Statement by 3553:⁠ Across the world, architectures and environments are mobilised to monitor and control the movement of bodies and communities. Central to these practices is the immobilisation of people on the move—an effort to dictate who holds the right to mobility, and under what conditions. From borders, walls, rooms and ecologies to soundscapes, Immobilities reflects on the many ways nation states design and perpetuate systems of border control, shaping the global mobility regime and the lives of those within it.⁠ ⁠ The exhibition convened an international consortium of researchers, designers and activists, situating Australian and international research within a transcontinental analysis of border practices. In doing so, it documented—and denounced—bordering in its many forms, across diverse geographies, technologies and methodologies.⁠ ⁠ Documentation: @benhoskingphotographer
