Stacks, Plasticity, Colour and Light: Artistic mediations in a connected world, an In Conversation event with artists Ella Barclay and Nicci Haynes. Q&A to be led by Denise Thwaites (curator, writer and researcher and Associate Professor at the University of Canberra). 

Exhibition Dates: 13 July - 14 September 2024

Unkempt Cognition is Ella Barclay’s first Kamberri/Canberra institutional solo exhibition and presents new work developed whilst on residency at ZK/U The Centre for Art and Urbanistics, Berlin, in 2024. Comprising a series of messy and playful luminous installations and photography, Unkempt Cognition explores common human experiences within connected daily life. From the speculative look and feel of the spatial techno-imaginary, to the lived experience of doom-scroll bed-rotting our way through a landscape of escalating catastrophes and clumsy automation.
