To Sept 19 Greater Together.
Sept 30 to Nov 19 Kader Attia encompasses over a decade of this leading French-Algerian artist’s work, whose genre-defying practice explores ideas of cultural exchange, appropriation and the entangled relationship between extra-occidental culture and the West in the wake of decolonisation. This first survey of the artist’s work in Australia encompasses major works including ‘Ghost’ (2007), an installation of empty aluminium-foil casts of hollow figures seated as if in prayer; ‘Asesinos! Asesinos!’ (2014), over one hundred doors reconfigured in a vast, upright formation, recalling bodies that surge forward as a crowd in protest; and ‘The Construction of Fear: A Culture of Evil’ (2013), a vast library of interlocking shelves, laden with 19th and 20th century books and newspapers that extend the colonial gaze into the present through their depiction of European encounters with a non-Western, uncivilized ‘other’. Presented in association with the Melbourne Festival and the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA), Sydney.

Both sessions of REMEDY 2017 include a heady mix of new and familiar faces.
Sept 20 5.30pm Dr Mark Titmarsh Book Launch: ‘Expanded Painting: Ontological Aesthetics and the Essence of Colour’. The relevance of painting has been questioned many times over the last century, by the arrival of photography, installation art and digital technologies. But rather than accept the death of painting, Mark Titmarsh traces a paradoxical interface between this art form and its opposing forces to define a new practice known as ‘expanded painting’. As the formal boundaries tumble, the being of painting expands to become a kind of total art incorporating all other media including sculpture, video and performance.
Oct 6 to Nov 4 (opening Thurs Oct 5, 5.30-7.30pm) Sally Smart – VCA alumna known for her large-scale cut-out assemblage installations. In this new major installation, Smart explores the themes and ideas associated with the studio as a place of work, contemplation and thought in action.

The Australian Alps produces 80% of Australia’s freshwater supply yet only comprises 1% of its landmass. Through massive earthworks, hydroelectric power schemes and complex technical infrastructure, pressurised water is mobilised to generate the electricity required to power the everyday spaces that we inhabit. CURRENT is designed to provoke a greater appreciation of the systems and technologies necessary to preserve the quality of life we are accustomed to. These artworks illustrate the intrinsic complexity underscoring sustainable practices by focusing on the co-dependent relationship of the natural and constructed environment and their attendant ecologies. Curated by Madelynne Cornish and Philip Samartzis.

Working in collaboration with artists, classically-trained vocalists and dancers, Travelling Light explores the notion of adaptation in a time of constant motion. The question of movement seems to haunt our times. Some move freely while others are forced to stand still – creating new types of tension. This exhibition based on a series of dance, movement, sound and sculptural urban interventions developed in Berlin, will culminate at the Deakin University Gallery at Burwood Campus. This exhibition is the first in an annual series of dedicated solo shows by emerging Australian artists.
