FACTIVISMMoreland Summer Show 2016

FACTIVISM: News, information and opinion are never far out of reach. We are saturated with headlines, images, slogans, sound bites and signs but often lack facts. Facts are powerful, yet they can be cherry-picked and spun. How are facts verified? How do we form our view? What banner should we flock to? What is the right cause? How do we put the truth to work?

OTHER SIDE

Every encounter is a negotiation – a space composed of layers, conflicts, intersections and interstices. No matter what your take is, no matter how many others concur, there is always a view that is contrary to your own.

Nauru hosts three regional processing centres, part of Australia’s revamped ‘Pacific Solution’. They house about 500 asylum seekers.

This exhibition contemplates twentieth century colonialism and twenty-first century paternalism.

GroundedSarah Edwards | Jennifer Lade | Fleur Summers

An artist’s canvas or ground is receptive–a site for receiving material inscription. Similarly, the ground we populate in our everyday lives is marked and mapped by our actions and is a receptacle for the objects of our transactions. Fleur Summers, Jennifer Lade and Sarah Edwards respond to the form, geology and social inscription of the sub/urban ground as a contemporary canvas.
