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.
