  Media Studies :: Bennett Miller

  Media Studies continues Western Australian artist Bennett Miller’s ongoing thematic interests in human behaviour and in particular the many complicated relationships that exist between humans and the natural world.

  This exhibition is a series of new video works and small sculptures, many of which remix or repurpose an existing aspect of popular culture. One example is an edit of the reality television show Survivor that is chopped down to feature only the moments in which an animal appears on the screen. Similarly, in a series of small kinetic sculptures we see existing media machines rewired to perform repetitive, often redundant tasks. In varying ways and contexts the video and sculptural works are linked thematically by a parody of the ways humans have altered and reinterpreted the environment that surrounds them.

  Local audiences may be familiar with Miller’s work through his five-year presentation of a fake Amish community, Barnraiser which was presented by Lismore Regional Gallery at Splendour in the Grass.

  Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat & Sun: 10am-4pm; Thurs: 10am-6pm

  Blinman Slag is an art/science exploration of mining slag waste from the Blinman Copper Mine in the Northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia.

  Examining slag from historical, geological, mineralogical and cultural perspectives, the exhibition by Grayson Cooke explores the strange beauty of mining waste as a window into the enormous forces humankind exerts upon the earth. These forces are immense but frequently rationalised within narratives of technological progress or economic necessity.

  While anti-mining activism uses public action and protest to draw attention to the negative environmental and social effects of resource extraction, this project takes a different approach, seeking new ways to manifest and image the changes wrought upon the earth by human activity.

  RocoColonial

  15 Feb - 19 Apr 2020
  Lismore

  Featuring artists: Brook Andrew, Tony Clark, Peter Cooley, Geoffrey Hannah, Deborah Kelly, Belem Lett, Jennifer Leahy, Danie Mellor, Marc Newson, Técha Noble & (more)

  Featuring artists: Brook Andrew, Tony Clark, Peter Cooley, Geoffrey Hannah, Deborah Kelly, Belem Lett, Jennifer Leahy, Danie Mellor, Marc Newson, Técha Noble & Romance Was Born, Joan Ross, Justin Shoulder, Esme Timbery, Jenny Watson, Louise Zhang, Renjie Teoh (cartouches)

  Rococo and Colonial are often considered to be disparate, undisputable categories that neatly divide periods of time. This separation offers little opportunity to consider parallel histories — how similar or different things might be happening elsewhere or at the same time.

  RocoColonial examines the overlap between Rococo and Colonial and begins by acknowledging that both can be intrinsically related and link Australia to a wider, speculative world of multiple, concurrent histories. The exhibition features artists and designers, who in their varied practices are destabilising the dream of Australia Felix (the lucky country) and whose material and conceptual language opens up the paradigms of the Rococo and Colonial to contemporary reinterpretation and re-engagement.
