Northern light et work
There are things set in stone now for 2014. I find myself dreaming about it, especially the old growth forests, the light, the snow, the cold. The draw of the cold, the wild.
I have a solo exhibit at Bus Projects in Melbourne and am curating a group show in Melbourne with the theme of ‘work’, as in energy, effort and output.
First I will be at Mustarinda, Finalnd in July and August for a residency and exhibition program.
Then I will be travelling to Tromsø, in north Norway, for September and October, for a residency and proprosed project with the Research Centre for High North Operations at the University of Tromsø - which I am hoping to get a grant for as an early career residency (meaning I could stay much longer).
My research now seems to centre around work in arctic and sub arctic climates, and fostering collectivity through exploring liminal space.
This is 5 to 6 month trip plan.
