Oct 10 to Nov 15 Monumental Imaginaries explores the complexities and contradictions surrounding rapid energy transition and the climate futures heralded by these imminent changes taking place in the Hunter Valley and Central Coast. This exhibition champions how regional NSW will adapt to the agenda of renewable energy and highlights how local advocates consider replacements for carbon intensive resources such as coal. It invites visitors to consider the scale of these transformations under way and the important role of visual media – drawing attention to the legacies of fossil fuel dependency and the emerging green visions of the upper and lower Hunter Valley. The exhibition is multifaceted, bringing together diverse artistic and disciplinary perspectives that unsettle comfortable projections of net-zero living and the despair of climate apocalypse. It underscores the scale of fossil fuel imaginaries and the speed at which they are being supplanted.
In addition to the exhibition, Monumental Imaginaries features a public program collaborating with community, industry, and other institutional partners. These free events will encourage the public to engage with these ongoing political debates and dynamic stories that impact how we think about energy and its production. This exhibition is supported by the Sydney Environment Institute (SEI), the University of Edinburgh, and the Sydney School of Architecture, Design, and Planning. Artists and participants: Ben Brown, Merilyn Fairskye, Jess Harwood, Prevalent, Gino Volpato, Christopher Wright, Luke O’Connor, and Collins and Turner Architects. Curated by Jennifer Ferng, Daniel Ryan and Elizabeth Walling.
