We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Yamatji Nation—the Amangu, Badimia, Hutt River, Mullewa Wadjari, Naaguja, Nhanda, Nhanhagardi, Wajarri, Wattandee, Widi Mob and Wilunyu peoples, and the Noongar people of the Whadjuk Nation. Together they are the Traditional Custodians and First Peoples of the lands on which we live and create. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
Seven Forms (Geraldton '26) is showing at Geraldton Regional Art Gallery from 18 April - 21 June 2026
About the exhibition. |
|
Seven Forms (Geraldton ‘26) presents new work by seven established WA-based artists. The artists consider natural ecologies in the Mid West region intersecting with human technologies including so-called artificial intelligence. The projects are specific to particular sites and speculative; they consider current and future climate change impacts and human entanglement in the processes they unleash.
The artists – Susanna Castleden, Monika Lukowska-Appel, Melanie McKee, Alana McVeigh, Layli Rakhsha, Sarah Robinson and Sue Starcken – focus in their creative research on intersections of art, technology and the environment at a time when human futures require fundamental change. Always observant of being on Yamatji Country, together the artists offer a compelling vision of place at a time of profound environmental and cultural transition. The exhibition is the second in a series of exhibitions curated by Janice Baker highlighting the uniqueness of Western Australian regions in a time of transition toward sustainable energy and communities. Artists: Susanna Castleden, Monika Lukowska, Melanie McKee, Alana McVeigh, Layli Rakhsha, Sarah Robinson and Sue Starcken. |
