To pitch a tent, to pull it back down

Thu 4 May – 14 May 12pm-8pm
Opening night Fri 5 May, 7.30pm

An experiment in collaboration, this exhibition makes physical some of the ideas, approaches, and conceptual binds we have been thinking through and working around as part of Next Wave’s TIDAL research commission. It presents new individual work informed and shaped by our time together, forced into being in close proximity, and co-inhabiting shared physical and conceptual space. This work is about language, mapping, and the power in withholding or sharing knowledge; of artmaking and the sacred, and what it means to relate to a place in shifting times. Of our gratitude for swamps and wetlands and soggy football fields, and our love for the drainage systems beneath our cities.

Aaron Claringbold, Eliki Reade, Jack Mitchell, and Rebecca McCauley are artists whose work and lives intersect with a shared interest and appreciation for bodies of water, and socially engaged work that confronts and enriches understandings of place. Coming from various positionalities; including Nyungar, kailoma-Fijian, and English/settler descendent ancestry; they have previously worked collaboratively in pairs.

Working across storytelling, photography, sound and live art, they have individually and collaboratively shown work, including with Due West (Resistance Transmission, 2019), Next Wave (Leisuretime I, 2022), Adelaide Contemporary Experimental, CCP, Hillvale, and Dead End Film Festival; sat on committees for SEVENTH and KINGS Artist Run; and been part of programs such as Australia Council’s Future Leaders Program, RMIT’s Photo Futures Lab, the Creators Fund, and Footscray Community Arts’s Emerging Cultural Leaders Program.

TIDAL is supported through the City of Melbourne Arts and Creative Investment Program.
