THE BEGINNING

Recently landed: The beginning

We’re overjoyed, utterly, to be a part of the forthcoming Melbourne Now 2023 which “will be displayed throughout all levels of The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, including permanent collection galleries, showcasing new works and commissions by emerging, mid-career and senior practitioners as well as local collectives”[i].

For our part, we will be making a green pocket of restored eucalyptus forest habitat collaged with pieces from the collection of the NGV. A forest in which you can watch night turn to day and day turn to night.

[i] “Celebrating new and ambitious local art and design, Melbourne Now will cross a range of contemporary disciplines including fashion and jewellery, painting, sculpture, architecture, ceramics, video, performance, printmaking and publishing. The inaugural 2013 exhibition was an unprecedented survey of some of the most exciting local contemporary practitioners. Ten years on, Melbourne Now 2023 will again highlight the latest art, architecture, design, and cultural practice shaping Melbourne. A cornerstone of the first Melbourne Now, Community Hall will return as a space to gather, connect and celebrate Melbourne’s diverse and creative communities, as well as popular NGV Kids interactive projects. Bold in scale, Melbourne Now will be displayed throughout all levels of The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, including permanent collection galleries, showcasing new works and commissions by emerging, mid-career and senior practitioners as well as local collectives.” Melbourne Now, NGV, https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition/melbourne-now-2023/, accessed 2nd November, 2022.
