Mercy Street

Mercy Street is an exhibition that responds to the emotive public conversations concerning justice, punishment and fairness that take place in the media in the wake of tragedy. The polarised responses that often surface during such debates are rarely examined, yet can play a powerful political role in informing criminal legislation.

Film that will end in Death

Film that will end in Death follows a variety of individuals as they discuss their passion for, and relationship to, risk. Dunkeld artist Trevor Flinn conceived this documentary-based project as a series of evolving interviews, interwoven with passages of 8mm film. The resulting multi-channel video installation explores this compelling subject from a range of styles and perspectives.

BROMANCE

BROMANCE is a dance work about the antics of men’s relationships. From childhood mischief through to adult relations, brotherhood is a lifelong negotiation of trust and honour laden with competition and responsibility. Brotherly love has a huge impact on men’s lives and their understanding of love.

Territory Time

‘Territory time’ is a maxim for life in the Northern Territory. Isolation and extreme seasons, particularly in the state’s northern capital, Darwin, limit one’s activities and daily achievements, and create a sense of time that is fluid, warped; marked by waiting.

Next Wave Festival 2010: No Risk Too Great

The 2010 Next Wave Festival will explore the role of risk in a risk-averse culture. Under pressure to conform, we have all become experts in micro-managing our own behaviour. But is this self-surveillance distracting us from the bigger risks, the more un-manageable ones which are increasingly – and radically – changing our world? Just what does ‘risk’ actually mean in these volatile times?

And That Was The Summer That Changed My Life

In 1997, Zoë Coombs Marr started High School, broke her cheekbone with a hockey ball, taped every episode of Buffy and Xena, wrote mean graffiti about herself in the girls’ toilets just to be noticed and sat on Santa’s lap for the last time. This show is about all that.

After the Rainbow

After the Rainbow is a single-channel video remix which investigates the temporal dimensions of cinema. Through a reimagining of the initial sequence of The Wizard of Oz (1939), the fantasy world of cinema and the reality of Judy Garland’s sad life collide in much the same way as the worlds of Oz and Kansas in the original film.

Candlelight Protestival

Political protesting is a highly risky activity in Korea. By contrast, festivals, which are typically understood to be celebrations, have minimal risk. DongWoo Kang’s multi channel video installation hints at the possibilities and the limitations of these new social movements in Korea, where extremely serious celebrations have hit the streets…

100 Proofs the Earth is Not a Globe is a live art installation and guided performance that is part science project, part religious intervention. Infiltrating the Victorian Space Science Education Centre, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to navigate the improbable and sail to the frontiers of misunderstanding.

Great Heights is a series of immersive events across various Melbourne rooftops.
