Larry Achiampong & David Blandy Diane Borsato Stephanie Dinkins Bridget Moser Sondra Perry Miya Turnbull Like everything alive that we try to hold forever brings together seven artists whose works, in a broad sense, reflect ways that our human bodies exist in relation to non-human objects and the complex, interconnected ways that these objects, through their systemic collection, consumption, and contextualization, impact our understanding of self and others. Through a constellation of approaches, the works here address psychosocial relationships to materiality and craft; issues of embedded identity, likeness, and self-authorship; biases and harms embedded within science, technology, and museological collections that are often cloaked under the guise of logical neutrality; and objects or avatars that allow us to access the limits of human experience, push against it, or gesture toward a transhuman future.

Mel O’Callaghan: Pulse of the Planet

May 27 - August 27, 2023

Co-curated by Peta Rake and Shauna Thompson.

Pulse of the Planet is a major solo exhibition by Paris/Sydney-based artist Mel O’Callaghan that synthesizes several years of collaborations and ways of knowing. For the last twenty years of her practice, O’Callaghan has explored resonant objects, spaces, and tools—namely how they affect, codify, and connect bodies. By working alongside experts in other fields, O’Callaghan seeks to pose new questions through her artistic practice, to highlight the natural synergies between disciplines, as well as to focus attention on how highly curious researchers reciprocally approach complex questions about our more-than-human existence.

The works in this exhibition convene transdisciplinary creative research—from oceanographers, physicists, microbial ecologists, psychologists, and musicologists, among others—that converges around the most urgent problems of our time, including planetary shifts, the viral age, climate futures, interspecies living, and which lifeworlds we must be attentive to and why. Drawing on our innate impulse to connect with one another and to Earth’s inexplicable forces, Pulse of the Planet sees all bodies—human and non-human—as sites of revelation and connection.

Mel O’Callaghan was born in 1975, Sydney, Australia. She lives and works in Paris, France and Sydney, Australia. O’Callaghan’s work explores human behaviour in relation to notions of resistance, endurance, and transformation. Selected solo exhibitions include, Carriageworks, Sydney (2022); University of Queensland Art Museum, Brisbane (2020); Artspace, Sydney (2019); National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne (2018); Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2017).
