SUMMARY:NorthSite - Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:Join us at NorthSite Contemporary Arts for the exhibition opening of The Ascended by Chantal Fraser. \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. \nThis opening event will be enhanced by Welcome to Country by Minjil and a live performance from the Pasifika Collective Group\, with the rhythmic and cultural expressions of traditional Samoan dance. Catering by Freshies Island Food\, a family-owned business\, carrying the culinary food influences of Polynesian ancestors with a modern twist.  \nJoin us for a unique event where we celebrate Chantal’s work while savouring live performances and Oceanic cuisine together. \n \nRSVP \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.

SUMMARY:NorthSite - Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:Start your weekend with art and celebrate these exhibition openings at NorthSite; MANdala by Geoffrey Schmidt\, scattered massive by John Pagnozzi and Waanji Away by Jack Wilkie-Jans. \nJoin us on Friday\, 12th May 2023 \n\n5.30PM Event Opens\, Bar Open\n6:00PM Opening speeches\n7:30PM Event close\n\nBOOK TODAY \nWe charge a ticket fee to ensure attendance. If the ticket price is a financial barrier to attending\, please email : connect@northsite.org.au \n\nMore Information\nGeoffrey Schmidt\, MANdala – Gallery 2\nMANdala is an establishment of a sacred space\, a focusing of attention\, a symbol of the universe and a meditative representation of higher thought. This work is an embracing and balancing of the male body with the acceptance of self and identity. The blending of the body\, mind\, environment and established systems. The Mandala works as an equalizing and quieting tool to establish a resting point. The images are a centered and symmetrical balancing of the human condition\, personalized psychology and systems of existence. \nJohn Pagnozzi\, scattered massive – Long Wall\nscattered massive presents a collection of work that is about the practice of drawing. Grounded in everyday or found material\, crayon\, house paint\, spray paint\, sand\, textile; the work approaches drawing as a process of spontaneous object making. It is influenced by ambiguity\, mood and poetry. \nJack Wilkie-Jans\, Waanji Away – Foyer Wall\nGrowing up in Weipa\, on the Western Cape of Cape York Peninsula\, remain some of the most wonderful years of my life—close to family and growing up with my siblings\, cousins and friends with so much freedom. I consider myself enriched by this time and by the fact these years\, those places and [most of] those people are still very much part of my life today. But\, there were times when the freedoms I enjoyed\, were not afforded to my Old People. \nImages courtesy of the artists’. Left to right: Geoffrey Schmidt\, John Pagnozzi\, Jack Wilkie-Jans.

SUMMARY:NorthSite Open - Sandra Selig - Exploring Giant Molecules
DESCRIPTION:Join us at NorthSite for the opening event of Exploring Giant Molecules and a special performance by the artist Sandra Selig. \nExploring Giant Molecules is the largest solo exhibition of Queensland artist Sandra Selig\, bringing together key examples of her interdisciplinary projects from the past two decades. \nSelig works at the intersection of visual art and experimental music\, using humble materials such as thread\, paper\, light and sound to articulate intangible notions of form\, space and time. \nThe exhibition presents seven projects that address the dominant concerns\, materials and forms of Selig’s ongoing bodies of work\, including the artist’s pendulum salt drawings that transform throughout the exhibition. Also included is a new thread installation that responds to the gallery’s architecture and spider webs captured on paper—projects that have evolved organically over time and in response to the spaces Selig works and exhibits in. \n  \nJoin us on Friday\, 28th April 2023 \n5.30PM Event Opens\, Bar Open \n6:00PM Welcome to Country \n6:30PM—7:15PM Performance \n7:30PM Event close \n  \n\n \nBOOK HERE \n  \nWe charge a ticket fee to ensure attendance.

SUMMARY:Film Screening | TERROR NULLIUS by Soda Jerk
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Just Not Australian exhibition\, NorthSite Contemporary Arts will be screening TERROR NULLIUS by Soda Jerk. \nMA 15 + | 54mins\nTERROR NULLIUS is in conjunction with the exhibition Just Not Australian showing at NorthSite Contemporary Arts. Presented in partnership with End Credits Film Club.\nPart political satire\, eco-horror and road movie\, TERROR NULLIUS is a political revenge fable that offers an unwriting of Australian national mythologies. Binding together a documentary impulse with the bent plotlines of Australian film texts\, Soda Jerk’s revisionist history opens a wilful narrative space where cinema fictions and historical facts permeate each other in new ways.\nThe apocalyptic desert camps of Mad Max 2 become the site of refugee detention\, flesh-eating sheep are recast as anti-colonial insurgents and a feminist motorcycle gang goes vigilante on Mel Gibson.\nBookings are essential: Please ensure you book through the Eventbrite link below and select your preferred screening time when registering for the event. \nDate: Friday 3rd of December 2021 \nLocation: Bulmba-ja\, 96 Abbott Street\, Cairns City\, QLD 4870 \nFirst Screening: 5:45PM — 6:50PM\nSecond Screening: 7:15PM — 8:20PM \nSoda Jerk is a two-person art collective who work at the intersection of documentary and speculative fiction. \nImage Credit: Soda Jerk\, TERROR NULLIUS\, 2018\, installation view\, Just Not Australian\, Artspace\, Sydney\, 2019.

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. \nDonna Davis When A Tree Falls  \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. \nBoth residencies examine the issue of climate change; the Tropical Mountain Plant Science project\, led by the Australian Tropical Herbarium\, is a result of consequence\, undertaking a real-time rescue mission to save vulnerable mountain top flora from extinction with project partners cultivating the rescued plants in temperate zone Botanic Gardens\, thousands of kilometres from their natural home. Whereas\, the Wood\, Termite\, Fungi project\, led by George Washington University\, examines hidden players in the carbon cycle to model impacts of rising temperatures on the decomposition cycle. \nThe main theme that flows through the exhibition is ecological cause and effect through a multi-species lens\, examining human and nonhuman hierarchal structures; ultimately seeking to empower a call to action to reconsider how we treat our kin\, of all species. \nWe look forward to welcoming you to the Gallery! \nNorthSite Team \nImage Credits:  \nDonna Davis\, Displaced [TransPLANT IV] (detail)\, (animation still)\, 2021\, single channel video installation \nKate Robertson\, HONDO (detail)\, 2016\, archival pigment print\, 28 x 48 cm
