Infinities explores different experiences of time that take us from the microbial-scale of bacterium inside our bodies, to the planetary-scale of the spinning of the Earth and beyond. Through a combination of contemporary video works, sculptures, installations and new commissions, the exhibition brings artists and ideas from across the globe in to Goulburn for the very first time. Time can be a slippery concept to define. At its simplest, it’s often explained as an ongoing and continuous sequence of events that occur in succession: minute followed by minute, breakfast followed by lunch, childhood followed by adulthood, the Big Bang followed by the first galaxies. The minutes, the meals and the experience of ageing are all very familiar, however, Infinities is intended to alter a typical sense of human time in ways that are at times calming and meditative or dizzying and vertiginous. Each of the exhibition’s artworks bring about different temporal ways of relating to the worlds around us by experimenting with rhythm and motion; exploring continuous cycles of life, death and beyond; as well as layering together the depths of pre-history with far-futures where humans no longer inhabit the Earth. <img width="5993" height="1685" width_o="5993" height_o="1685" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/531bb70f56b32081fac0b454f19a563f95b1efb8301f61bebe46825cb4fd9f58/TinaHavelockStevens_TheRapids_2019_Still3.jpg" data-mid="94395340" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/531bb70f56b32081fac0b454f19a563f95b1efb8301f61bebe46825cb4fd9f58/TinaHavelockStevens_TheRapids_2019_Still3.jpg" /><img width="6000" height="1685" width_o="6000" height_o="1685" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f30c57894a67b14ba32f8a27f9c893d6f788975bbd7b7db3af11f4a42120ba4b/TinaHavelockStevens_TheRapids_2019_Still1.jpg" data-mid="94395337" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f30c57894a67b14ba32f8a27f9c893d6f788975bbd7b7db3af11f4a42120ba4b/TinaHavelockStevens_TheRapids_2019_Still1.jpg" /><img width="6000" height="1672" width_o="6000" height_o="1672" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e9301f06159b7fe9bc244d1b6e2097545c0f63ab6a43a338543ea5cc781a157b/TinaHavelockStevens_TheRapids_2019_Still2.jpg" data-mid="94395338" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e9301f06159b7fe9bc244d1b6e2097545c0f63ab6a43a338543ea5cc781a157b/TinaHavelockStevens_TheRapids_2019_Still2.jpg" /> Tina Havelock Stevens The Rapids 2019 (video stills). 2-channel digital video installation, colour and black &amp; white, 5.1 sound. 19’45”.

A new beginning? First comes the proposal, then the wedding and finally, so the story goes, comes the honeymoon. Originating in early-19th-century upper-class Great Britain, ‘honeymoon’ describes the custom of a newlywed couple going on a holiday together that marks the transition between unmarried and married. The word itself, however, dates back to the 5th century, to describe the month after a wedding when a newlywed couple drank the honey-based alcoholic drink mead during their first moon (or month) of marriage. While ‘honeymoon’ has a positive connotation today, it was first used as a term to warn newlyweds about the decline of love, with the first weeks of marriage as being the sweetest ones. What happens when the newly minted couple sail off into the sunset?

I dreamed I was a house is an immersive exhibition curated by insitu collective that unlocks the psychological potential of the domestic home. In psychoanalysis, dreaming of a house is considered to be a reflection of one’s self, whereby the individual spaces relate to different facets of our personality. In a similar direction, this exhibition overlays two types of ‘interior spaces’ – the mind and the home – so that the architecture of the home evokes the hidden depths of the human psyche: from the vortex of the hallway, to the social façade of the dining room, to the intimacy of the bedroom, and down to the shadowy subconscious, hidden in the basement. Working within the historical building of Casino Luxembourg, insitu collective has invited six artists to create individual domestic environments or ‘rooms’. These rooms form a metaphorical collage of a house that brings to life the emotional resonance of our most private spaces. The unique spatial and multi-sensorial experience that is at once familiar and surreal aims to trigger personal associations, memories and emotions that are held deep within ourselves. HALLWAY Upon reaching Casino’s upper floor and entering the metaphorical house, you will first discover the Hallway, created by Ulla von Brandenburg. In dream analysis the hallway symbolises self-exploration. As in a real house, it is the entrance into a new intimate space, the beginning of a path. It can be a transitional phase or a journey into the unknown. Von Brandenburg’s installation C, Ü, I, T, H, E, A, K, O, G, N, B, D, F, R, M, P, L, II creates an endless curtained tunnel in which visitors switch from the real experience of entering room after room to the repetition of this movement in a film. The film is narrated by a beautiful voice reciting a deconstructed passage of the poem “Conversations with a stone” by Wisława Szymborska: “I knock on the front door of the stone: – ‘It’s me. Let me in’. – ‘I have no door,’ says the stone.” <img width="2953" height="1969" width_o="2953" height_o="1969" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/213ef0f084e99ce49c63824aa72c51f1ef717d63d6adbbb3542d37fe26daf824/1_Casino-Luxembourg---Forum-d-art-contemporain_I-dreamed-I-was-a-house_Ulla-von-Brandenburg_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019.jpg" data-mid="46371717" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/213ef0f084e99ce49c63824aa72c51f1ef717d63d6adbbb3542d37fe26daf824/1_Casino-Luxembourg---Forum-d-art-contemporain_I-dreamed-I-was-a-house_Ulla-von-Brandenburg_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019.jpg" /> Ulla von Brandenburg&nbsp;C, Ü, I, T, H, E, A, K, O, G, N, B, D, F, R, M, P, L, II, 2019 Dyed fabrics, ropes, wooden bench, super 16 mm film, colour, sound (10´) Courtesy the artist, Art : Concept, Paris, Meyer Riegger, Berlin/Karlsruhe, Pilar Corrias Gallery, London and Produzentengalerie Hamburg&nbsp; Photo: Andrés Lejona <img width="2953" height="1968" width_o="2953" height_o="1968" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ff07118c4a434a42bbe1950237e6fa9debe9d8565e51f1aac551bf8a648f250c/2_Casino-Luxembourg---Forum-d-art-contemporain_I-dreamed-I-was-a-house_DiningRoom_Aurora-Sander_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019_01.jpg" data-mid="46373015" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ff07118c4a434a42bbe1950237e6fa9debe9d8565e51f1aac551bf8a648f250c/2_Casino-Luxembourg---Forum-d-art-contemporain_I-dreamed-I-was-a-house_DiningRoom_Aurora-Sander_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019_01.jpg" /> <img width="2362" height="2362" width_o="2362" height_o="2362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/967c74fbe8068097f955ab3512f7f00e844168e72ab67def0218ad23862e90bd/2_IDreamedIWasAHouse2_DiningRoom_AuroraSander_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019.jpg" data-mid="46371701" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/967c74fbe8068097f955ab3512f7f00e844168e72ab67def0218ad23862e90bd/2_IDreamedIWasAHouse2_DiningRoom_AuroraSander_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019.jpg" /> <img width="2953" height="4344" width_o="2953" height_o="4344" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0462915e54ee53927c91e3122796022b7d6039260704e5eb6d85c75cf3b9dcf3/2_IDreamedIWasAHouse2_DiningRoom_AuroraSander_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019_04.jpg" data-mid="46373786" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0462915e54ee53927c91e3122796022b7d6039260704e5eb6d85c75cf3b9dcf3/2_IDreamedIWasAHouse2_DiningRoom_AuroraSander_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019_04.jpg" /> Aurora Sander À la carte, 2015-2019Mixed mediaCourtesy the artists Photo: Andrés Lejona DINING ROOM Once you have passed through the hallway, you are guided into the Dining Room, where the family comes together and guests are welcomed. As the room for entertainment and hospitality, it also represents the border between the public persona and private self. However, as we know from the classical Kammerspiele, in the dining room passionate revelations can be made and lives can be changed over just one evening. Here, Aurora Sander’s installation À la carte sets an open stage reminiscent of an idyllic island. An eight-course ‘seafood menu’ is served and shared with unidentified creatures waiting for their guests. The scenario is unsettled yet, one can never predict the denouement of the festivities in this aquatic universe. BEDROOM Following the vibrant social experience of the Dining Room, you will then sneak into the private realm of the Bedroom&nbsp;created by Julie Favreau. Behind its closed doors, intimate encounters take place and confidential whispers are shared. It is where we are our most physical selves – we snore, we drool, we sweat, we cum – and in the morning, the smell of our sleep permeates the room. Favreau typically creates environments with films, photographs, textiles and sculptures in which suggestiveness, the sense of touch and its relation to eroticism and desire play an important role. Through juxtapositions, close-ups, and disembodied familiar forms, Favreau’s abstract sculptures hint toward a narrative without revealing its content. As a visitor entering into a stranger’s room, you can feel yourself in the position of ‘voyeur’, even more so if you let yourself slide into the temptation of this dark and yet so sensual atmosphere. <img width="1969" height="1125" width_o="1969" height_o="1125" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c5b2aa9dba73730a9b080845a1f13e9691dee4c015cfa0e874eb5ec32bf10423/3_Casino-Luxembourg---Forum-d-art-contemporain_I-dreamed-I-was-a-house_Julie-Favreau_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019_06.jpg" data-mid="46376353" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c5b2aa9dba73730a9b080845a1f13e9691dee4c015cfa0e874eb5ec32bf10423/3_Casino-Luxembourg---Forum-d-art-contemporain_I-dreamed-I-was-a-house_Julie-Favreau_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019_06.jpg" /><img width="2883" height="3930" width_o="2883" height_o="3930" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c7f8648baf35c034d3d8c6da910d31036b5441c9aabb7ef13f834b7a3924b28f/3_Casino-Luxembourg---Forum-d-art-contemporain_I-dreamed-I-was-a-house_Julie-Favreau_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019_03cr.jpg" data-mid="46376576" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c7f8648baf35c034d3d8c6da910d31036b5441c9aabb7ef13f834b7a3924b28f/3_Casino-Luxembourg---Forum-d-art-contemporain_I-dreamed-I-was-a-house_Julie-Favreau_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019_03cr.jpg" /> Julie Favreau Delicious Dive, 2019 Video, installation, sculptures and photograph Courtesy the artist Photo: Andrés Lejona <img width="2362" height="3543" width_o="2362" height_o="3543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5255e8f410c0933f5ed6fd74d438e7a9bd78663d2989a28156d12c9804e4b241/4_IDreamedIWasAHouse4_ChildrensRoom_AnnaHulacova_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019_02.jpg" data-mid="46375632" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5255e8f410c0933f5ed6fd74d438e7a9bd78663d2989a28156d12c9804e4b241/4_IDreamedIWasAHouse4_ChildrensRoom_AnnaHulacova_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019_02.jpg" /> <img width="2362" height="1575" width_o="2362" height_o="1575" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/776042748c5b5d7314033f0cb0269672619f569c409b863b365e045eba393b6b/4_IDreamedIWasAHouse4_ChildrensRoom_AnnaHulacova_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019_03.jpg" data-mid="46375816" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/776042748c5b5d7314033f0cb0269672619f569c409b863b365e045eba393b6b/4_IDreamedIWasAHouse4_ChildrensRoom_AnnaHulacova_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019_03.jpg" /> <img width="2953" height="1969" width_o="2953" height_o="1969" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/eb583cd5d5f9e568c9742bbb12d6fa444f4aca9871f1563813a050eaa112fd18/4_Casino-Luxembourg---Forum-d-art-contemporain_I-dreamed-I-was-a-house_Anna-Hulacova_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019_04.jpg" data-mid="46371721" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/eb583cd5d5f9e568c9742bbb12d6fa444f4aca9871f1563813a050eaa112fd18/4_Casino-Luxembourg---Forum-d-art-contemporain_I-dreamed-I-was-a-house_Anna-Hulacova_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019_04.jpg" />Anna Hulačová Sunshine heritage for sons and daughters, 2019 Mixed media installation Courtesy the artist and Hunt Kastner Photo: Andrés Lejona CHILDREN’S ROOMMoving now from a very adult Bedroom to the Children’s Room, you will arrive at the crystallisation of an invented universe. Here, a carpet can turn into an ocean, a stool into an iceberg, slippers into sea animals. Scale has no value, the physical limits of surrounding objects are always questionable and the voice of reason is an echo that fades. In Anna Hulačová’s installation Sunshine heritage for sons and daughters, the artist draws upon a specific visual language that is inspired by traditional crafts, East European cultures and Czech folk traditions. Through this installation, Hulačová revisits aspects of her own childhood in which daily objects like agricultural machinery became natural playgrounds, combining them with Soviet, Futurist and Surrealist sculptural aesthetics. STUDYClosed off from the transformative worlds inside the Children’s Room, you will come upon the Study – a hideaway space, designed for thinking, working and reflecting. It holds the potential for an escape from family life and is the only space left where big dreams can still be dreamed, a cigarette can be smoked in quiet or late working hours sustained. With Hands as Drawers, Alvaro Urbano presents the Study in a state of abandonment, shrouded in melancholy. Perhaps its emptiness points toward personal milestones that cannot be achieved and adventurous lives that can no longer be led.<img width="2953" height="1968" width_o="2953" height_o="1968" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/804c755d8ba84b005afeb8b21ff5499c5c0d3ea51016a7b43e4220d637366a38/5_I-dreamed-i-was-a-house_Alvaro-Urbano_Photo-Andres-Lejona.jpg" data-mid="46371724" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/804c755d8ba84b005afeb8b21ff5499c5c0d3ea51016a7b43e4220d637366a38/5_I-dreamed-i-was-a-house_Alvaro-Urbano_Photo-Andres-Lejona.jpg" /><img width="2953" height="1969" width_o="2953" height_o="1969" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/69917a5fa0efaf7b4874f2a0cd24f2b9ceb812fbf5986ecc93d962f272eba334/5_I-dreamed-i-was-a-house_Study_Alvaro-Urbano_Photo-Andres-Lejona_.jpg" data-mid="46371725" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/69917a5fa0efaf7b4874f2a0cd24f2b9ceb812fbf5986ecc93d962f272eba334/5_I-dreamed-i-was-a-house_Study_Alvaro-Urbano_Photo-Andres-Lejona_.jpg" /> Alvaro Urbano Hands as Drawers, 2019 Mixed media, variable dimensions Courtesy the artist and ChertLüdde Photo: Andrés Lejona <img width="2953" height="1969" width_o="2953" height_o="1969" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9368400116189f496cb84c50e8d06b785c59af7639ea55c3e4126de10fd4effe/6_Casino-Luxembourg---Forum-d-art-contemporain_I-dreamed-I-was-a-house_Basement_Markus-Selg_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019.jpg" data-mid="46371728" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9368400116189f496cb84c50e8d06b785c59af7639ea55c3e4126de10fd4effe/6_Casino-Luxembourg---Forum-d-art-contemporain_I-dreamed-I-was-a-house_Basement_Markus-Selg_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019.jpg" /><img width="1969" height="2953" width_o="1969" height_o="2953" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5acc4ba8816468f001e52318fb849e485c92185334ec38a0c4f5d2595cfce990/6_Casino-Luxembourg---Forum-d-art-contemporain_I-dreamed-I-was-a-house_Basement_Markus-Selg_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019_06.jpg" data-mid="46371727" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5acc4ba8816468f001e52318fb849e485c92185334ec38a0c4f5d2595cfce990/6_Casino-Luxembourg---Forum-d-art-contemporain_I-dreamed-I-was-a-house_Basement_Markus-Selg_Photo_Andres-Lejona_2019_06.jpg" />Markus Selg Child Unleashed 2019 Mixed media, variable dimensionsCourtesy the artist and Galerie Guido W. Baudach Photo: Andrés Lejona BASEMENTFinally, in a closed-off space, you will find yourself in the Basement. If the mind were a house, the subconscious would be found here, containing the things that are stored away and memories that may have been forgotten. The basement represents primal urges, intuitive reactions and basic needs. In Markus Selg’s interpretation, instead of a dark and musty space, you might be surprised to see the walls painted in fluorescent yellow, a floor of psychedelic galaxies, covered with children’s toys and plastic bones. With his work Child Unleashed, the artist takes us deep into his own subconscious to present stations of his journey through life, arranged in seemingly no order but all coming together to reflect what may be floating around internally. ‘Courage’ stands like a mantra on a hanging poster on the wall – the title of his first gallery exhibition. Further, the children’s toys strewn on the floor could be either from his past or his own daughter, who reminds him just how it is to play and to rediscover the world every day.

As of May 2018 3,793 exoplanets have been discovered, which can potentially or may already be supporting life. The dream of humans traveling further to outer space are becoming more tangible. But still, very few people have ever been beyond the atmosphere of the Earth.&nbsp;Outer space exists mostly in our imaginations or in scientific data. The vast majority of us can’t touch it, hear it or exist within it…yet. When we look around, however, we start to find many signs of outer space already here in the daily life of Thailand: maps of the stars can be found inside local temples, a UFO beaming out the dirt of our stained clothing appears on a laundry detergent packet, even the days of the week are named after the planets, the sun and moon. This exhibition then asks, how does imagining other worlds teach us about Earth, ourselves, and our place in the universe? <img width="5838" height="3748" width_o="5838" height_o="3748" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/468c5af3ba1bb54d85fcae73dda501375c842d2caa87036eabfcb4ad5b412880/DSC08012.jpg" data-mid="33202095" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/468c5af3ba1bb54d85fcae73dda501375c842d2caa87036eabfcb4ad5b412880/DSC08012.jpg" /> Beyond the Final Frontier 2019 (installation view), S.A.C.

Courtesy the artist. Photo: Preecha Pattara Arnont Nongyao Eciov (2018) is a soundscape of outer space created especially for this exhibition. Arnont Nongyao is an avid collector of sounds, with a particular interest in the concept of ‘vibration’. Through careful listening, he hears voices inside the buzzing of bees, the rush of a waterfall, or the humming of car engines in a traffic jam. These sounds of daily life and the voices that he hears within them, are amplified for this installation. Arnont aims to bring on an awareness of the ‘codes’ and ‘language’ around us so that we can tune into potential hidden forms of communication that we are not usually aware of. Visitors are invited to slowly move around the circle of speakers, listening carefully for moments of harmony and discord and secret languages inside them. <img width="2362" height="1575" width_o="2362" height_o="1575" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4396b2ceb5f5620dfb330efa0f1a0bccd0925feac91d344f460f0ee1e05cb520/VisanuEuarchukiati_ScentsFromSpace1web.jpg" data-mid="33271485" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4396b2ceb5f5620dfb330efa0f1a0bccd0925feac91d344f460f0ee1e05cb520/VisanuEuarchukiati_ScentsFromSpace1web.jpg" /> <img width="1417" height="1417" width_o="1417" height_o="1417" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bdfb53fd8d75117041ff3d83b74fa83ee53fb8a9c188f6d9138fd8002fc175a3/VisanuEuarchukiati_ScentsFromSpace3web.jpg" data-mid="33282951" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bdfb53fd8d75117041ff3d83b74fa83ee53fb8a9c188f6d9138fd8002fc175a3/VisanuEuarchukiati_ScentsFromSpace3web.jpg" /> <img width="1890" height="1890" width_o="1890" height_o="1890" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/89954d81f183afb0252fc08350b12145a63ac09b4e7cfaa625f63955ffbbc568/VisanuEuarchukiati_ScentsFromSpace5web.jpg" data-mid="33282953" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/89954d81f183afb0252fc08350b12145a63ac09b4e7cfaa625f63955ffbbc568/VisanuEuarchukiati_ScentsFromSpace5web.jpg" /> <img width="1976" height="1976" width_o="1976" height_o="1976" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b82c2eb6a3d4b5e0ab1a1d5ba6c348854a56346c4a7f6cde3243ec1c5320b5eb/VisanuEuarchukiati_ScentsFromSpace4web.jpg" data-mid="33282952" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b82c2eb6a3d4b5e0ab1a1d5ba6c348854a56346c4a7f6cde3243ec1c5320b5eb/VisanuEuarchukiati_ScentsFromSpace4web.jpg" /> Visanu Earchukiati Scents from Space 2019.

Photos: Preecha Pattara Visanu Euarchukiati For this exhibition, independent academic and astronomy researcher Visanu Euarchukiati, developed and sourced a series of Scents from Space based on the known smells of chemical substances found in space.TitanTitan is the largest of all Saturn’s moons. There are trace amounts of other hydrocarbons, such as ethane, diacetylene, methylacetylene, acetylene and propane, and of other gases. In lab experiments NASA scientists matched the spectral signature the Cassini spacecraft detected in Titan's atmosphere. The material contains aromatic hydrocarbons that include nitrogen, a subgroup called polycyclic aromatic nitrogen heterocycles (PAH) which smells like gasoline. Space RoseNASA, International Flavors and Fragrances (IFF) and the Wisconsin Center for Space Automation and Robotics (WCSAR) collaborated on an experiment, which was taken on STS-95 on 29 October 1998. A miniature rose with 2 buds,&nbsp;cultivated by IFF, was sent in a small Astroculture chamber. Astronauts took samples of the oils from the roses. After the shuttle returned, it was found that the roses actually made fewer oils while in space, but had a more "floral rose aroma" than the same roses on Earth. The space rose scent is used in Shiseido Zen.Centre of the Milky WayThe search for organic molecules was made by pointing a radio telescope to the giant molecular cloud Sagittarius B2 at the center of the Milky Way. There was no trace of amino acid in the thousands of signals, but ethyl formate C3H6O2 was found. Ethyl formate gives the flavor of raspberries, and the smell of fermented molasses, commonly found in rum. <img width="7088" height="6300" width_o="7088" height_o="6300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7dd6f2a9eaa16ade49fe6c1b0277b06965e465a6310e13ac5936efae106913f7/PrapatJiwarangsan_TotalEclipseAtMars.jpeg" data-mid="33205472" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7dd6f2a9eaa16ade49fe6c1b0277b06965e465a6310e13ac5936efae106913f7/PrapatJiwarangsan_TotalEclipseAtMars.jpeg" /> Prapat Jiwarangsan Eclipse at Mars 2017. Photograph, scraped on surface, 115 x 115cm. Courtesy the artist. Prapat Jiwarangsan Eclipse at Mars (2017) is a series of large-scale photocopies of archival photographs that document the solar eclipse of 1868. This solar eclipse is known as ‘The King of Siam’s eclipse’ after King Mongkut (1804-1868) calculated and predicted the solar eclipse earlier and more accurately than any other international astronomer. Prapat Jiwarangsan has then etched a landscape of Mars over the top of each photocopy, based on images from NASA. This gesture blends together past, present and future by overlaying the historic moment of King Mongkut’s scientific breakthrough with a potential new life on Mars. <img width="3150" height="1772" width_o="3150" height_o="1772" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c1939b09bc8a15dd8f527eb47fffcbc36e949c8e64e7660a4f4ac9db3de2d3d6/ChulayarnnonSiriphol_MythOfModernity1.jpg" data-mid="33204618" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c1939b09bc8a15dd8f527eb47fffcbc36e949c8e64e7660a4f4ac9db3de2d3d6/ChulayarnnonSiriphol_MythOfModernity1.jpg" /><img width="3150" height="1772" width_o="3150" height_o="1772" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/76aca2c724dae3d9e5e95bd5fe4f4cbaf4ca7d6c27a82a6fd55e9a7401417bed/ChulayarnnonSiriphol_MythOfModernity2.jpg" data-mid="33204622" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/76aca2c724dae3d9e5e95bd5fe4f4cbaf4ca7d6c27a82a6fd55e9a7401417bed/ChulayarnnonSiriphol_MythOfModernity2.jpg" />Chulayarnnon Siriphol Myth of Modernity 2014 (stills). Video, colour, sound, 16:00 min. Courtesy the artist and Bangkok CityCity Gallery Chulayarnnon SiripholSpiritual buildings in Thailand, such as pagodas, palaces and spirit houses, are traditionally designed to represent a religious conception of the universe and our human position within it, specifically, the ‘three worlds’ of Buddhist cosmology. However, due to Western influence and the apparent need to ‘harmonise’ with modernity, Myth of Modernity (2014) shows how the architecture of these places of worship has become increasingly simplified to resemble pyramids. Filmed during the 2014 protests in Bangkok, Chulayarnnon Siriphol draws a parallel between religious ceremonies and the mass reverie of political rallies. The suggested flattening of both spiritual and political spheres expresses an underlying concern for the future effects of rapid development, globalisation and social change. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ba46e59fddd856770770cbbaab0f879cf1dc55426b0d2b2722b7e1ab6dd507d7/TakuroKotaka_ManFromADistantPlanet3.jpg" data-mid="33205478" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ba46e59fddd856770770cbbaab0f879cf1dc55426b0d2b2722b7e1ab6dd507d7/TakuroKotaka_ManFromADistantPlanet3.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="1028" width_o="1920" height_o="1028" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/32a1ba6ef5dbf76d77941b8152e7a56f9ea8338896b68abe2ae02b4f37f76f97/TakuroKotaka_ManFromADistantPlanet2.jpg" data-mid="33205475" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/32a1ba6ef5dbf76d77941b8152e7a56f9ea8338896b68abe2ae02b4f37f76f97/TakuroKotaka_ManFromADistantPlanet2.jpg" /> Takuro Kotaka Man from a Distant Planet 2018 (stills). 21:21, FHD, color, stereo.

Takuro Kotaka worked closely with locals to understand their stories, daily life and issues that they face. What results is a ‘documentary’ in which a Japanese scientist arrives in an imaginary world where Aliens and Muslims exist side-by-side, played by Patani locals and the Japanese comedian Genki Iizo. Under the guise of a surreal and somewhat absurd search for aliens, this film talks about the serious and muted socio-political issues faced by communities in this area. <img width="2560" height="1430" width_o="2560" height_o="1430" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/08d05710ee41400b6ad2b315dfa8c19a0fed67610832367e496a10790e80fe48/LaurenReid_SpaceInspirium.png" data-mid="33205471" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/08d05710ee41400b6ad2b315dfa8c19a0fed67610832367e496a10790e80fe48/LaurenReid_SpaceInspirium.png" /> Walking on Mars via virtual reality, Space Inspirium, Laem Chabang 2018.

This project investigates the underlying beliefs and attitudes toward cultural identity, value systems and historical events that are embedded in the way that natural environments are imagined and represented in art, folklore, film and popular culture. http://magneticrealm.tumblr.com/ <img width="2547" height="1437" width_o="2547" height_o="1437" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9a87bad90d547adc4e459d70322bb48d64f1f104caf5fef932807ed03df617bf/MagneticRealm1_still2_3.png" data-mid="14977257" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9a87bad90d547adc4e459d70322bb48d64f1f104caf5fef932807ed03df617bf/MagneticRealm1_still2_3.png" />Magnetic Realm (still) 2016 <img width="2558" height="1446" width_o="2558" height_o="1446" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7e02b1e41ab64e1e05d5f03294c62a640acfe2509bda1f3ae9e171f7ad76c1e3/MagneticRealm1_SyndromesandaCentury.png" data-mid="14977255" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7e02b1e41ab64e1e05d5f03294c62a640acfe2509bda1f3ae9e171f7ad76c1e3/MagneticRealm1_SyndromesandaCentury.png" />Magnetic Realm (still of Syndromes and a Century, Apichatpong Weerasethakul) <img width="2560" height="1414" width_o="2560" height_o="1414" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/723d3c149f78107b90a4caccb1013a668ec3e2786bb29231eb2160b63c0a1e00/MagneticRealm1_ForestSpirit.png" data-mid="14977259" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/723d3c149f78107b90a4caccb1013a668ec3e2786bb29231eb2160b63c0a1e00/MagneticRealm1_ForestSpirit.png" />Magnetic Realm (still of Forest Spirit, Teera Prachumkong) <img width="2560" height="1400" width_o="2560" height_o="1400" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/17843482f3516d693c538fa476693ec7f5be5bd3152f29bb88e342fb22659c7e/MagneticRealm1_TropicalMalady.png" data-mid="14977256" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/17843482f3516d693c538fa476693ec7f5be5bd3152f29bb88e342fb22659c7e/MagneticRealm1_TropicalMalady.png" />Magnetic Realm (still of Tropical Malady, Apichatpong Weerasethakul) <img width="2560" height="1418" width_o="2560" height_o="1418" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/defe22fa5276eef5043642a3a483b03b13c79e55259765d2cc289082db6b8baf/MagneticRealm1_Nymph.png" data-mid="14977258" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/defe22fa5276eef5043642a3a483b03b13c79e55259765d2cc289082db6b8baf/MagneticRealm1_Nymph.png" />Magnetic Realm&nbsp;(still of Nymph, Pen-Ek Ratanaruang) <img width="2558" height="1422" width_o="2558" height_o="1422" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/259fa8ce8a6b488c2e5d1ed033b618d9d644c40fb644452318cd541de4886800/MagneticRealm1_Graceland.png" data-mid="14977252" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/259fa8ce8a6b488c2e5d1ed033b618d9d644c40fb644452318cd541de4886800/MagneticRealm1_Graceland.png" />Magnetic Realm (still of Graceland, Anocha Suwichakornpong) https://lauren-reid.com/Corridor-I-Onkalo Sat, 05 Nov 2016 12:08:56 +0000 Lauren Reid https://lauren-reid.com/Corridor-I-Onkalo Corridor I: ONKALO with a site-specific work byArmin KeplingerandHeHe, Egor Kraft,Klaus Lutz Exhibition curated by insitu collective( Marie Graftieaux, Nora Mayr, Gilles Neiens, Lauren Reid) 22 October 2016 - 21 January 2017 insitu, Berlin <img width="1039" height="959" width_o="1039" height_o="959" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/721a6e7c26df8bec5e8346ea7bffb80be7aed96adc6f09191b8aa39adce4b3b4/Corridor-I-Onkalo-install2a.jpg" data-mid="15481043" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/721a6e7c26df8bec5e8346ea7bffb80be7aed96adc6f09191b8aa39adce4b3b4/Corridor-I-Onkalo-install2a.jpg" />Corridor I: Onkalo (install view) 2016.

Photo: Markus Georg In 2020 the first long-term nuclear waste repository in the world will be ready for use in Finland under the name Onkalo. Onkalo is a deep geological construction, built over a period of 25 years and made for storing highly radioactive nuclear waste in a safe manner until its decay in 100,000 years. The project raises questions not only about the conservation, reliability and durability of the site, but also of how life on earth could look like in a very distant future and how to protect the inhabitants from opening the site. For Corridor I: Onkalo visitors enter into speculations of how to transmit information about the site’s danger over thousands of years; of imagining who or what that information will be transmitted to; and what the potential discoverers will believe they have found when they come across Onkalo. This exhibition is intended as a multilayered discussion around the topic of Onkalo, mixing artistic positions and non-art materials with&nbsp;a site-specific commissioned work by artist Armin Keplinger. ︎ Corridor I: Onkalo is the first of insitu collective’s Cycle IV, an ambitious series of three exhibitions that deals with the potential of time travel. Described as Corridors, each exhibition&nbsp;begins with a significant moment related to scientific discoveries or notorious events in history and takes visitors on an unfolding narrative that provides a special exhibition-viewing experience into the heart of the topic. <img width="5000" height="2436" width_o="5000" height_o="2436" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0abdd7ecf950782bca7373c2b115d1a9c1699be6a59f5061e528918a6972f9ee/Corridor_I_Onkalo_Overview_001_5415_o.jpg" data-mid="14977211" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0abdd7ecf950782bca7373c2b115d1a9c1699be6a59f5061e528918a6972f9ee/Corridor_I_Onkalo_Overview_001_5415_o.jpg" />Corridor I: Onkalo (install view) 2016.

Courtesy the artist. Photo: Markus Georg Pachamama is a term used by indigenous groups from South America for the goddess mother nature. Their understanding of a »buen vivir« (good living) as a way of doing things in a harmonious community, a community that includes nature, led to the first implementation of the Rights of Nature by a governmental constitution in Ecuador 2008. The Rights of Nature means a change of perspective. Under this law, nature is no longer understood as property but is acknowledged in all its life forms as having the right to exist, persist, maintain and regenerate its vital cycles. Taking this specific moment in time, the exhibition&nbsp;Corridor II: Pachamama asks: What does it mean to see nature not only as a source for harvest and economic wealth, but as an equal partner? How do we understand and imagine this partner? What kind of different intelligences are contained within nonhuman worlds? ︎ Corridor II: Pachamama is the second show within insitu collective’s Cycle IV, an ambitious series of three exhibitions that deals with the potential of time travel.

For Aarhus, European Capital of Culture 2017, insitu presents the culmination of an ambitious three exhibition cycle dealing with the potential of time travel. Described as Corridors each exhibition takes visitors on an unfolding narrative that provide a special exhibition-viewing experience. Corridor III: Valdemar Daa begins with a historic moment related to the legend around Valdemar Daa, whose body lies in a coffin at the Viborg Cathedral and whose story inspired the Hans Christian Andersen tale “The Story of the Wind” (1859). Around 1660, the Danish alchemist Valdemar Daa - while depleting his family fortune in its pursuit - was convinced that he found the philosopher’s stone. Shortly after, so the story goes, the glass containing the precious liquid ruptured and smashed. He was never able to prove his discovery. The philosopher’s stone is one of the most sought-after treasures in the world of alchemy. Over hundreds of years, alchemists from the Arabic countries through to East Asia and Europe have tried to create the magical mixture said to prolong life and transform impure material into pure. Corridor III: Valdemar Daa invites visitors to enter into a mindset where different kinds of mystical knowledge and beliefs pervaded over today’s version of science. They are taken on a journey through the mysteries of alchemy, the human faith in the potential for natural materials to hold treasures of incredible power, and one person’s obsessive search for the seemingly impossible. This unique exhibition includes a combination of specially commissioned works of art, existing works by prominent and emerging international artists, as well as thematic artefacts from other disciplines. The artworks and artefacts are presented throughout the multi-room Kunsthal according to key concepts related to the story of Valdemar Daa: Transmutation, Obsession for the Impossible, the Philosopher’s Stone, and the History of Alchemy. <img width="1280" height="808" width_o="1280" height_o="808" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e095704602d2ddf5a4213b7273dc351688a5b88c8dcba0447edb8a2693192fb7/00_Preface_Troika_Arcades_02.jpeg" data-mid="20971100" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e095704602d2ddf5a4213b7273dc351688a5b88c8dcba0447edb8a2693192fb7/00_Preface_Troika_Arcades_02.jpeg" />Troika Arcades 2012.

It follows in the footsteps of Aldo Leopold’s call to ‘think like a mountain’, or appreciate the profound interconnectedness of all the elements in ecosystems (including ourselves). The film program will explore what happens when the human mind merges with the forest mind and in turn how our visions of nature reflect cultural beliefs and our own personal identities. This screening event accompanies the exhibition Guided by the Stars of the Southern Hemisphere by Elsa Salonen, which brings together two recent installations produced in global artist residencies, in order to focus on local animist traditions in Indonesia and the use of medicinal plants in Colombia. <img width="1600" height="900" width_o="1600" height_o="900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/45e5dab6598a05eef1d08df29478b785bc77c697395340aefb5d30d62aa3a857/Off-the-Trail_still.jpg" data-mid="14977248" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/45e5dab6598a05eef1d08df29478b785bc77c697395340aefb5d30d62aa3a857/Off-the-Trail_still.jpg" /> Jacob Cartwright &amp; Nick Jordan&nbsp;Off the Trail (still) 2015, HDV, colour with sound, 9:44mins.
