To coincide with World Ocean Day 2012 (June 8), this exhibition brings together established and emerging artists from Northern NSW, Melbourne, Regional Victoria and Tasmania as they explore and respond to their local experience of marine ecosystems. Through this sequential mapping of Australia’s eastern seaboard a portrait of the system as a whole will unfold to illustrate the unique and fragile nature of ocean ecology.
Featuring Sue Anderson (TAS): Bernadette Curtin (NSW): Rachel Earea (Regional VIC): Paul Kalemba (VIC/TAS): Harry Nankin (VIC): Sarah Jane Pell (VIC/TAS): Christine Willcocks (NSW)
The new media exhibition "Emergencies" is based on a choice of Artists and Works centered in a dichotomy of media: real and virtual. Within the real media, we find the Biological (live), the Physical (phenomenal and material) and the Chemcial (substances and transformations). In the virtual media we find the docial networks, augmented reality and all within the digital world.

This October Science Gallery asks ‘what is the future of water?’. This theme will form the basis for a major exhibition and series of events at the Science Gallery, to run from October 2011 till January 2012.
The Cuators called for all armchair hydrologists, liquid artists, part-time diviners, fluid technologists and steamy scientists! Naturally, I applied! We are currently in negotiation relating to the works and activities that will form part of the initiative. Stay tuned... FUTURE OF WATER at Science Gallery is part of a larger 3-year international project, StudioLab, funded under the Framework 7 programme, with partners including Harvard University’s Idea Translation Lab, Media Lab Prado, Ars Electronica, the Royal College of Art, London and Le Laboratoire, Paris.
This is the unique story of farmed ocean fishing practices from the vantage of the mort diver tending to salmon and trout in free-flowing ocean pens at various stages of life from smolt to harvest-sized fish, and the relationship to the crews, farmers and environment, to reflect on cycles of life and light. Strahan Divers work in zero visibility in an ocean harbour naturally stained by the tannins of tea tree and button grass local to the remote pristine World Heritage Wilderness Area of the Gordon-Franklin, Tasmania. Due to be released April 2011
