Join curator Dr Jessica Clark and artist Mandy Quadrio for a
guided floor talk of Between Waves.

Saturday 9 March 2024
11:30 - 12:30pm

Featuring ten ambitious new commissions, the exhibition explores the sensory and cyclical rhythms of light and sound, thinking and feeling, listening and seeing, interwoven with ideas of material memory.

Between Waves is an exhibition developed by the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) touring nationally with NETS Victoria, curated by Jessica Clark.

This project has been supported by Creative Victoria through the Yalingwa Visual Arts Initiative and the NETS Victoria Exhibition Development Fund; and the Australian Government’s Visions of Australia program.

About the speakers:

Jessica Clark
Jessica Clark is a proud pallawah/palawa woman with English, Irish, Turkish and French ancestry. She is an independent curator living and working on Wurundjeri Country in Naarm (Melbourne). Jessica currently holds the position of Yalingwa Curator at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (2022-24). Her background in art history and art education has informed the development of an independent curatorial practice that is guided by conversation and collaboration and grounded in an understanding of the interrelationship between life, materiality, and place. Jessica holds a PhD Fine Arts and Music, Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne.

Mandy Quadrio
Mandy Quadrio is a Trawlwoolway woman connected to her ancestral Countries of Tebrakunna, north-east Lutriwita also known as Tasmania, and the Laremairremener Country of Little Swanport, Oyster Bay Nation of eastern Lutriwita. She is also of Anglo-Irish heritage. Currently based in Meanjin / Brisbane, her art practice spans across sculpture, installation, photography and mixed media. Through her practice Quadrio works to unfix racist categorisations, historic denials and imposed invisibility in relation to Aboriginal identity. Both her work and process reference notions of erasure and presence in relation to socio-political realities around contested Australian, colonial histories. Offering new visual dialogues, the re-configuration of natural and pre-fabricated materials, assembled into sculptures and installations constitute a disruption to historic and present-day power relations surrounding Tasmanian Aboriginality.
