THE WORLD AROUND US @ ARTS PROJECT AUSTRALIA
Curated by Penelope Hunt for CLIMARTE
Opening 3pm, 4th May, 2019
4 May - 8 June
The exhibition charts the process of walking the same paths around Northcote’s Merri Creek for a year-long period, and presents images by artists working digitally.
As part of CLIMARTE’s ART+CLIMATE=CHANGE 2019 festival, The world around us literally refers to a five-block radius around the Arts Project Australia studio. Each week as the seasons change and the weather alters, so changes the landscape and our perceptions of it. Through the process of walking the same paths over a year, Arts Project studio artists will present work that focuses on and truly examines the fluctuations of their local environment, articulating their interests and concerns.
Featuring works by: Miles Howard-Wilks, Danny Lyons, James MacSporran, Eden Menta, Will Murray, Anthony Romagnano, Aidan Sefo, Georgia Szmerling and Lachlan Turk.
The exhibition will be opened by Bronwyn Johnson, Executive Director, CLIMARTE.

I see myself in you
Penelope Hunt’s series, I see myself in you focuses on how connection to the environment can psychologically mirror the relationship we have with ourselves and the world around us.
Taken of the Merri Creek, which weaves behind her home in Melbourne’s Northern suburbs, the images are all seen from a particular vantage point. Near to where an historic meeting took place between John Batman and prominent members of the Wurundjeri-willam and other clans in 1835, Elders concluded with Batman the only treaty to be ever struck between the invaders and the indigenous people of Australia.
Through the process of waking and noticing how the reflection changed over the seasons, a relationship and connection to place became more evident and simultaneously more complex.
Notions of beauty, yearning and connection to the landscape are referenced against the colonial landscape painter John Glover’s artwork, Swilker Oak, as shadows of our Colonial past are evoked within the landscape.
