EARTHING Presented By ACE
EARTHING introduces three contemporary South Australian artists presented by Adelaide Contemporary Experimental (ACE) (Kaurna Country/Adelaide) whose works create different contact points for the energies that connect, control and move through us, unseen but knowable.
OAKEY’s installation, PORTAL, offers a reflection on the transformative experience of moving between inner and outer worlds in the state of extended deep listening. OAKEY will be sharing a durational performance and conversations with visitors from 11:00 – 13:00 daily in the installation.
Carly Tarkari Dodd, a weaver of Ngarrindjeri, Narungga and Kaurna heritage, celebrates the sustenance of intergenerational connections in vivid new interwoven works co-designed with her 4-year-old niece Harper.
Referencing the combination of offensive and defensive strategies embodied in the spiny fruits of the environmental weed, the three-cornered jack, and the role of these in its inexorable territorial incursions, Mark Valenzuela’s hand-built ceramics generate an unsettled interplay of sound and clay.

Attending To Presented By West Space
West Space (Naarm/Melbourne) presents Attending To a sound and installation work by Aarti Jadu and Claire de Carteret, who have been experimenting with sound and ceramics, and the ways these materials work together.
From a background of group devotional singing and folk tradition, Aarti Jadu seeks to integrate participatory work into contemporary composition. Claire de Carteret is a ceramicist exploring clay chemistry, technologies, and resonating sculptural form. Attending To unfolds the artists’ interest in how listening rather than hearing, cultivates intimacy, subjective interpretation and reflection.
