SUMMARY:Artist + Curator Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the gallery for a conversation with the Artist\, Chantal Fraser\, and Curator\, Naomi Evans.  \nChantal Fraser\, a Sāmoan artist from Aotearoa/New Zealand\, explores themes of capitalism and state authority through photography\, performance\, and sculpture\, often incorporating ornamentation and personal adornment. Her work has been exhibited at renowned galleries in Australia\, Canada\, and France. The Ascended is a Griffith University Art Museum touring exhibition\, curated by Naomi Evans. \n \nRSVP | FREE TALK \n\nThe Ascended by Chantal Fraser\nThe Ascended exhibition crystallises Fraser’s exploration of power and class through her anti-colonial and anti-capitalist strategies\, developing a theory that links ornamentation\, personal protective devices and protest aesthetics as means to subvert and liberate identities. Fraser’s multimedia practice has garnered significant acclaim within Australian contemporary art and reflects the complexity of lived experiences for diasporic Sāmoan and Pasifika communities. \n\n\nChantal Fraser: The Ascended is a Griffith University Art Museum touring exhibition\, curated by Naomi Evans.\nThis project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council\, its arts funding and advisory body. This project is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.

The artists will also go through basic explanations of the technology\, software and hardware utilised for the mediums including – digital photography\, animation\, projection mapping\, instrument design and sound art.  \nAsk questions\, glean ideas\, start the year with an injection of art inspiration. Get in quick to book into this day as spaces are limited. Saturday 21st January\, 10am – 4pm. \nAbout the Artists: \nBYWAY is an artist collective based on Kombumerri Country / Gold Coast. BYWAY was established upon the shared histories and experiences of three emerging artists living in regional Queensland. Our mission as culturally and linguistically diverse artists\, is to shift the perspective of Australia as one constructed culture and identity. Working collaboratively within a lens-based and digital practice\, our goal is to engage communities and create a platform for highlighting marginalised and under-represented voices. \nBuzz Gardiner of the Byway Collective\, is an Australian-Solomon Island Photographer with a focus on the Arts. Born and raised in Vanuatu – Buzz moved to the Gold Coast 16yrs ago\, where he has lived on and off ever since. Buzzs’ images centre the Melanesian Diaspora. \nDanish Quapoor is a multidisciplinary visual artist based on Gurambilbarra (Townsville). He works across drawings\, illustrative paintings\, ceramics\, textiles\, murals and animations. The artist predominantly employs flat colours and sparse compositions which unify these ostensibly disparate mediums. Balancing personal and familial dichotomies has been a consistent thread in the artist’s life and work. Quapoor has completed numerous solo\, collaborative and group exhibitions and studio residencies throughout eastern Australia. He holds a Master of Arts & Cultural Management (University of Melbourne)\, a Bachelor of Creative Arts\, Honours and a Bachelor of Visual Arts (with Distinction) (both University of Southern Queensland). He has works held in the Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery collection and private collections in Australia\, the USA and Germany. The artist is also a curator with interests in recontextualising collections and forging collaborations.  \nPatty Preece is a musician\, electronic music producer and sound artist who works with hacked domestic objects to critically explore aesthetic and relational hierarchies at the intersection of sound\, gender and technology. Preece’s practice spans performance\, instrument design\, production and most recently installation. This Cairns based artist creates performance ecosystems using discarded domestic steam irons\, ironing boards\, DIY sensors and electronics. Their live performances engage with augmented domestic objects\, noise and the relationship of performer\, instrument and context. Preece’s creative practice research explores themes of labour\, instrument design\, sonic cyberfeminisms and sound art. \nMelania Jack is a queer\, multiplatform artist working within digital art\, projection\, electronic music and performance platforms.Part of the multi-platform artist duo; The Ironing Maidens\, a project which turns irons and ironing boards into electronic\, musical instruments to explore themes of gender\, domestic labour\, supply chains and technology. Melania uses collaged projection sourced from archival footage to explore gender bias within exploitative labour practices\, particularly within the domestic and technology areas. With a sense of irony and using familiar household items\, the practice aims to deconstruct and question the gender binary and class norms. \nWhat is SUPERCUT? \nSUPERCUT is an Outer Space project supported by the Federal Government’s RISE (Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand) COVID recovery fund and is presented in partnership with Artspace Mackay and NorthSite Contemporary Arts\, Cairns.  \nSUPERCUT is focused on creating more opportunities and connecting with regional artists\, arts workers and communities throughout Queensland. The project showcases new works of more than forty Queensland practitioners on billboards across regional Queensland\, in the Outer Space Window Gallery and in a series of curated online exhibitions. \nOuter Space will also deliver a suite of workshop programs with our regional partners that will further support our arts communities in regional and rural centres throughout Queensland.  \nFor information about the SUPERCUT billboards\, window gallery exhibitions and workshops\, please visit the Outer Space website. supercutouterspace.org/about

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Kate Robertson and special Guest Chief Alex Dawia
DESCRIPTION:Join Artist Kate Robertson and Chief Alex Dawia to discuss her exhibition Kuna Siuwai Pokong – Medicinal plants from Siwai\nAbout this event \nNorthSite Contemporary Arts Invites you to walk through Kate Robertson’s exhibition\, Kuna Siuwai Pokong – Medicinal plants from Siwai with the artist\, discuss her artworks in discuss her artworks in concept and presentation. \nThis exhibition chronicles plants and their medicinal properties from the Siwai region of Bougainville Island\, an autonomous region of Papua New Guinea\, through photographic light recordings. Concerned with the erosion of tacit traditional medicinal knowledge\, Chief Alex Dawia of the Taa Lupumoiku Clan approached and invited Australian artist Kate Robertson to chronicle Siwai plant knowledge for preservation. Chief Jeffrey Noro of the Rura Clan\, also from Siwai\, joined their efforts\, motivated by similar concerns to preserve tacit knowledge systems and provide positive recognition of their region. \nOver five years\, the project has evolved to include photographic prints\, an embroidered fabric panel and a published book to explore how cross-cultural projects can provide mutual benefits through repatriation and transparency. Ultimately\, it is a holistic inquiry into how we might work together across territorial borders\, cultures and skillsets to achieve a shared future. \nHo mi ho kui ngung pekong tokunoi riku\, hoko kukarei ho kui pokong tokunoi rihetong. Uwa ko\, hoi nekong hongowa’a nahamong\, ho kui pokong mi\, ho pokong itikai yi haha’a roro ngo tawah. Ho korokoro rori hungyo\, hoko musimang nekong toku topo inakarei.\n(When you lose the traditional name\, you lose the knowledge of the plant because the traditional name describes the functionality of the plant. Therefore\, when we lose our language\, we are bound to lose our biodiversity because we can no longer find the value in each plant). ”\n– Dr Jeffrey Noro \nArrive at NorthSite\, Bulmba-ja 96 Abbott St\, Cairns City at 11.45am for 12pm talk in gallery 2.\nPlease sanitise and register your details at the entrance for COVID Contact Tracing via paper slip or QR code.\nRSVP via Eventbrite is necessary for all attendees. \nWe look forward to seeing you here!\nNorthSite Team

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Donna Davis and special guest Prof.Darren Crayn Director Australian Tropical Herbarium
DESCRIPTION:Join Artist Donna Davis and Prof. Darren Crayn\, Director Australian Tropical Herbarium to discuss her exhibition’ When a Tree Falls’ \nNorthSite Contemporary Arts Invites you to walk through Donna Davis’s exhibition\, When a Tree Falls with the artist\, discuss her artworks in concept and presentation. \nThis playful yet reflective exhibition speaks of climate-induced flora displacement\, hidden ecological players and the human; exploring imagined ecological-adaptations\, ecological hierarchies and the idea of kin. \nThe works respond to current artist-residencies embedded within state and international science projects based in far North Queensland that explore the issue of rising temperatures from different perspectives. There is a long history of artists documenting scientific endeavors\, however this exhibition extends beyond documentation\, using sculpture\, stop-frame animation\, digital media\, and installation to explore interspecies relationships and perceived notions of hierarchy within ecological systems. \n“Anthropogenic disturbance is the reason for the current climate situation; as an artist I seek to understand the ecological complexity and explore our role as humans to alleviate and remedy the disorder?” \nArrive at NorthSite\, Bulmba-ja 96 Abbott St\, Cairns City at 10.45am for 11am talk in the main gallery.\nPlease sanitise and register your details at the entrance for COVID Contact Tracing via paper slip or QR code.\nFollow the Eventbrite link to reserve your ticket. \nWe look forward to seeing you! \nNorthSite Team
