ADAPTATION –
LIFE BEFORE, WITH, AFTER US

KELDER

A season of artist films convened around the theme of ‘adaptation’. Looking at our increasingly precarious relationship with the environment and non-human animals the films in Adaptation ask several urgent questions:

MA HAIJIAO - IF WE DELETE GREEN, IF WE START CARING ABOUT PLANTS, 2022

Tabula Rasa Gallery

Ma Haijiao’s works are often expressions based on his personal observation after a long-term attention to a certain topic. His recent works focus on impacts of urban development that can be felt in our living environment, from a more collective perspective such as city architecture, environmental issues to more personal angles such as family life, and individual living condition.

LUCY SABIN

ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS, FEB - MARCH 2020

Gerald Moore Gallery

With the Environmental Crisis such a prevalent subject in the news and the recent protests led by young people, Gerald Moore Gallery sent an open call to artists to respond to this major issue. The responses focused on the impacts we face: climate change, degraded air quality, deforestation, the decrease of animal population, land and sea pollution, soil erosion and biodiversity losses.

LAURA ROUZET - SUMMER 21 IS BURNING, JUNE - SEP 2021

Laura Rouzet's online portfolio

Featuring embodied and hybrid assemblages, the digital piece becomes its own ecosystem, a mixed reality in between the hypothetic and the real, the physical and the virtual, the organic and the synthetic. At the time of the pandemic, environmental crisis, spatial tourism, and virtual expansion, our reality seems to have melted with fiction, touching upon the absurd and the sacred.

SAM SCHMITT - SHADESHELTER, SWMS, 2019 - 2020

Sam Schmitt's online portfolio

"A provocative but appropriately organic response to climate change, ShadeShelter’s images are of the aftermath of hurricanes, never of the hurricane itself. The installation contrasts images of detritus with the calm complacency of ambient music and atmospheric sounds from the cold of winter."- The Ivan Juritz Prize

HANNAH FLETCHER - CIRCLES: A RECORD OF OUR TIME, 2017

Hannah Fletcher's online portfolio

The environment records human movement, human action. When we depart, what legacy will we leave? Thousands of years into the future, what evidence will remain from the Anthropocene?

‘DIGITAL ECOLOGY’: ON ROUND LEMON’S ONLINE EXHIBITION EARTH.

Round Lemon

With the planet subject to the regulations of a pandemic our physical existence as human beings is beginning to diminish; in its place we are evolving new ways to be. In tandem with this, our impact on the environment too, is changing. The world, suddenly and seemingly more vacant than before, is gently turning its head toward the digital.

PROJECT 34: ASAD RAZA - ABSORPTION, 2019

Kaldor Public Art Projects

At Carriageworks in Sydney, on the site of the former Eveleigh Railway Yards, Asad Raza’s project Absorption filled the Clothing Store with approximately 300 tonnes of a new soil mixture, or “neosoil”. The work continued to grow over the course of the project, tended to regularly by a team of “cultivators”.

RACHEL ROSE - SUN RISE | SUN SET

Pilar Corrias Gallery

The cross-generational group show Sun Rise | Sun Set brings together contemporary, as well as 19thth and 20th century artists to form a multi-layered response to the fast unfolding eco-catastrophe. The exhibition aims to reconfigure our relations to the Earth and all its inhabitants, by nourishing the ever-changing relationship between humans, animals, plants, inanimate objects, technologies and non-beings.
