Future Propositions
Genevieve Thornton, Elise Lidgett and Michelle Mayn
Future Propositions presents the collective workings of regional Victorian artists Genevieve Thornton and Elise Lidgett and Aotearoa New Zealand artist Michelle Mayn. The exhibition combines sculpture, video and photography which unites these artists, just as millions of years ago Australia and Aotearoa were joined as part of Gondwana. The works are an ongoing exploration and conversation about what it means to be living and working as artists during a time of unprecedented change; a time when a global pandemic continues to sweep through the world, shining a light with more intensity on the vital issue of climate change, and the disparity between developed and developing nations. This exhibition considers our (political and) ethical relationship to the world.
Future Propositions explores our unknown futures, speculating on life and relationships, looking to the force of the present as it writes the paths of the future.
