Incinerator Gallery, Melbourne, VIC

This exhibition explores ideas of paradise and how queer communities build utopic spaces for convalescence and revelry.
Drawing upon John Milton’s epic poem ‘Paradise Lost’, this exhibition questions the ethical and political implications of religious myth-making, moralistic binaries, and the social impacts on law-making. Considering mythologies such as the ‘Expulsion from the Garden of Eden’, and the ‘Fall of Lucifer from Heaven’, the exhibition draws parallels to queer experiences of persecution across time and place, whilst questioning the governance and ideologies of purported paradises.
From raptures of heavenly places, to criminalisation in public spaces, this exhibition examines ways that queer resistance and rebellion can overpower acts of exclusion. It encourages healing through companionship, whilst imagining ways to forge queer havens of stronger, softer, and braver spaces.
Main Gallery Artist(s): Ayman Kaake, Felix Saturn, Hannah Brontë, Jason Ebeyer, Julian Leigh May, Norton Fredericks and Tané Andrews

What does it mean to do slowness? What does it mean to break with the whirring pace of the present and the unabating velocity of our time? What does slow art offer us in a fast world? These questions—these provocations—lie at the heart of RADICAL SLOWNESS.
In RADICAL SLOWNESS, the never-ending cadence of our everyday gives way to a different pace: slow time.
Featuring Artists Akil Ahamat, Emma Fielden, Dean Cross, Izabela Pluta, Aude Parichot and Tané Andrews. Curated by Anna May Kirk and Tai Mitsuji.

20:20 brings together twenty contemporary Australian aritsts, commissioned at the beginning of the pandemic to create work for our major Summer exhibition. Never before will our museum have had every space, inside and out, presenting new work.
The twenty new works in 20:20 share visions of a changed world, a more just society, critiques of environmental policy, and the fight for racial justice. 20:20 witnesses our current calamity and seeks insight, kindness and hope.
The twenty resulting artist projects provide an active picture that moves from celebrating intimate moments of day to day life, to the actions of artists determined to forge ahead with work whilst so much shuts down around them, and out to artists’ perspectives on the globally felt issues of economic injustice, the Black Lives Matter movement, and climate emergency.
There is discord here and there is community. There is social engagement alongside introspection. Sadness can be witnessed and hope shared.
Fluidity is an exhibition presented on-site at @incinerator_gallery and as an online resource via the Gallery’s website.
Curated by @jakeadamtreacy ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
