20.01.2022 recesspresents.art A Space of In-Betweeness by Georgia Button with text by Kate Meakin 29 - 12 June... 'The family home becomes more a part of you than you are of it. Georgia’s family name Button feels apt for a work that seeks out touch. The camera lens glides and quivers, like a waking eye struggling to register its point of focus, like a mind reaching to grasp exactly what its body is trying to tell it.'

15.01.2022 3 July - 17 July 2020 A Pilot for a Show About Nowhere (2015) by Martine Syms With text by Aristilde Kirby A Pilot For A Show About Nowhere is a two-channel video that examines the politics of television viewership, incorporating footage from a number of sources to create a plurivocal narrative. ... It is a sitcom pilot, but does not resemble a conventional episode. Black sitcoms are central in their potential to undermine television conventions and spark unpredictable and radical impulses, but also in their role in the erasure of the struggles and realities of poor Black populations. Filmed reenactments of the artist’s life ground A Pilot For A Show About Nowhere in her experience, and a She Mad title card suggests a complete narrative. -Video Data Bank

KGH applied for consent and were denied but continued to excavate, permanently damaging culturally significant sites causing Traditional Owners great distress and anger. Two of Australia’s most senior and significant Aboriginal artists, Mabel Julie and Rusty Peters, paint about their country and its dreaming sites and tracks, burial places and sites of memory. Together let’s take immediate action and write to the four ministers responsible for deciding the fate of these highly significant and important cultural sites.

13.01.2022 Bush Doof (2019) by Nunzio Madden plays on recesspresents.art with text by Sally Olds: 'Rave and rave culture have attracted the speculations and artistry of some of the best minds of our generation.

04.01.2022 Now that the journey is over, I don't want any trouble to begin By Grace Herbert View online now at recesspresents.art from 19 June - 3 July With text by Miriam McGarry 'Grace Herbert’s work has often found points of puncture that reveal the inherent absurdity of broader systems, by drawing attention to moments where the cracks appear. The works don’t name capitalism, imperialism, or climate change (pick your interchangeable poison), but highlight the material and spatial ou...tcomes of these forces.' @g.herb @recess.net.au ACE Open Image credit: Grace Herbert, Now that the journey is over, I don’t want any trouble to begin, 2019.
