11.01.2022 Coming up next, C A V E S is pleased to present a solo exhibition by James Geurts. Join us for the opening celebration on Friday the 16th of August from 6-8pm. Exhibition dates: 16 Aug - 7 Sept, 2019. Liminal Trajectories moves from the astrophysical to the primordial, to the technological. The exhibition crosses between field works and laboratory works, from the site of the Murchison Meteorite in North Victoria, to the site of CSIRO, Clayton. As part of the ANAT Synapse ar...tist-in-residency, extensive research was undertaken working with the prebiotic material and investigating the phenomena of the meteorite intersecting earth in September 1969. Identified as one of the most primitive and profound astronomical bodies, the Murchison Meteorite comprises complex organic compounds, which ultimately forged the building blocks of life. . James Geurts draws out geographic and conceptual forms that are layered within specific sites of his research. The artist examines how natural and cultural forces shape perception. James works across the disciplines of drawing, sculpture, photography, video, and Public Art/Land Art. Exhibitions include: National Gallery of Victoria; White Cube, London; Gemak, The Hague, Netherlands; Centre for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv Israel; Art Gallery of South Australia; Kuandu Museum of Fine Art, Taipei; La Chambre Blanche, Quebec; and the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, and has recently been awarded the Australia Council for the Arts ACME London Studio residency, April - September 2020. Image: Trajectories II: Prebiotica, 2019 20 x 20 x 4cm. Edition of 1, series of 10, Light box. Durational experiment with Prebiotic material on silica-gel glass plate and carbon marks, CSIRO Lab.

09.01.2022 *ANNOUNCEMENT* CONSTANT ECOLOGY - Paid At home residencies www.constantecology.com !Applications Open! In 2020 the various cultural, economic, environmental and global ecologies we find ourselves in are undergoing major upheavals and transformations. From the unprecedented bushfires to the global pandemic, these changes to our contingent and fragile ecology require urgent reflection and critical scrutiny. In response, four independent art organisationsBLINDSIDE, CAVES, KINGS... Artist-Run and West Spacehave developed Constant Ecology, a collaborative initiative that seeks to address this current moment by supporting a series of in-home residencies by artists and creatives based in Victoria. Constant Ecology will commission eight artists to undertake a two-month, at-home residency during this period of isolation, to allow artists to think-through, unpack and creatively respond to the current ecological crisis in all of its manifestations. Each artist will be assigned a liaison who will act as a point of contact to support resident artists where appropriate. While the project is not outcomes-focused, we aim to make the lines of inquiry established by each artist accessible to a public through a range of public programs and an exhibition to take place in October - November of 2020*.
