Strange Weather brings together artworks that broadly consider how our contemporary understanding of the environment and our place within it is mediated by technology.
Here strange weather is a metaphor for ecological, geopolitical, technological and economic fragmentation. The artists in this exhibition use photography, moving images, sound, data, mapping and weather monitoring technologies, among others, to explore aspects of atmospheric strangeness that shape our understanding and experience.
Artists
Grayson Cooke, Torin Francis, Libby Harward, Chris Henschke, Ross Manning, Rebecca Najdowski, Rebecca Ross, Nikki Sheth, Philip Samartzis, Sean Williams and Martin Walch.
