SUMMARY:The Moon
DESCRIPTION:20 July 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing and the first steps taken on the lunar surface by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. This exhibition is programmed to coincide with this significant milestone\, and brings together artistic responses to the celestial body that orbits the Earth. \nFor centuries artists from many cultures have been inspired by the Moon\, the most prominent feature of our night sky. The exhibition includes historical works created when the Moon could only be viewed from afar\, works from the era of the 1960s space race\, and more contemporary responses informed by the imagery and scientific knowledge acquired through space exploration. \nJust as the Moon itself can be viewed from multiple vantage points from the Earth\, works in the exhibition will be located throughout the galleries. Links with literature\, film\, music and science will also be explored\, highlighting the Moon’s capacity to engender creativity and inquiry. \nAcross five key exhibition themes\, The Moon will invite a new engagement with\, and provide new perspectives on\, this enigmatic celestial body that we all see and are influenced by.

SUMMARY:Space: 50 years since man first stepped on the moon
DESCRIPTION:Space celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing (20 July) with an exhibition that examines humankind’s longstanding fascination with space and space travel. The exhibition explores the romance of space through visual culture produced in the lead up to and aftermath of the Moon landing. The works will span the furthest reaches of the human imagination to the reality of space travel. \nOriginal photographs from NASA of the Moon landing take pride of place\, together with contemporary artists who respond to the unknown of space. This engaging and timely exhibition will feature many borrowed works in addition to works from the Gippsland Art Gallery’s own collection. Each piece will help build a comprehensive understanding of our cultural fixation with space through art\, with many of those requested destined to become exhibition highlights.

SUMMARY:Trash Robot
DESCRIPTION:Urban Rivers (USA) \nCan we game our way to a cleaner world? \nTake control of our garbage-eating robot either in person or online! Created by Chicago-based collective Urban Rivers\, Trash Robot will be trawling Melbourne’s Yarra River collecting rubbish outside of the City’s existing litter traps. And Melbourne’s waterways really need the help – in 2017\, they were filled with enough rubbish to fill almost 30\,000 wheelie bins. This sort of rubbish causes heaps of issues and costs the city around $3 million per year. Boo! \nCould this floating gamified robot save the world? Why not? Nothing’s ever gone wrong with robots\, right? \nYarra River\, Southbank\nCheck back soon for exact location.

SUMMARY:DISPOSABLE
DESCRIPTION:Science Gallery Melbourne’s pop-up program DISPOSABLE will highlight experimental and creative ways to tackle our ever growing excess of waste. DISPOSABLE locations will include The University of Melbourne’s Parkville and Southbank campuses\, along with unique sites throughout Melbourne. \nThe lid has been lifted on human wastefulness\, but what next? Following the lead of Australian cult-hero\, the bin chicken\, we delve into our garbage and find opportunities within our disposable culture. \nWhile the global waste statistics are sobering\, we are now seeing emergent ecologies that thrive on human wastefulness\, drinking water recycled from toilets and furniture made from coffee grounds. Waste brings new opportunities\, human innovations and creative solutions. \nScience Gallery Melbourne will highlight experimental and creative ways to tackle our ever growing excess of waste through transdisciplinary and collaborative practices in its third pop-up program. \nDISPOSABLE will feature outdoor installations\, pop-up gallery exhibits\, performances\, experiments and workshops. Locations will include The University of Melbourne’s Parkville and Southbank campuses\, along with unique sites throughout Melbourne.

SUMMARY:Pollution Pods
DESCRIPTION:Michael Pinsky’s interactive and eye-opening artwork\, enables audiences to experience differing air qualities amongst the world’s least and most polluted cities. \nHow clean is our air? \nExperience some of the most polluted cities in the world from the safety of these glorious and sustainably made pods. \nYour journey starts in a pod recreating the pristine environment of Tautra\, a remote Norwegian island. Enjoy breathing in that clean-smelling air\, and steel yourself to continue through to the pods with some of the lowest air quality in the world: London\, New Delhi\, Beijing and São Paulo. \nEach pod safely *simulates* the polluted environments of these cities rather than exposing you to the serious levels of ozone\, nitrogen dioxide\, sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide that their occupants breathe in every day. \nAre you ready to take a whiff of the smog of London or Beijing? And how does Melbourne compare?Visit the EPA (Environment Protection Authority) AirWatch to find out more. \nPresented in partnership with White Night Melbourne and the EPA. \nTreasury Gardens \n22 August – 1 September \n\n22–23 August open 7pm–midnight\, as part of White Night Melbourne Reimagined\n24 August open 7pm–2am\, as part of White Night Melbourne Reimagined\n25 August – CLOSED\n26 August–28 August open 11am–6pm\n29–30 August open 11am–8pm\n1 September open 11am–6pm\n\nMichael Pinsky will also give the Hugh Williamson Lecture

SUMMARY:Walrus of Peace
DESCRIPTION:Is ochre the new spray paint? \nWalrus of Peace investigates a non-toxic\, environmentally friendly\, recyclable\, alternative set of materials for temporary street art installations. \nBendigo Artists Inc (Australia)\nStreet art is a popular form of creative expression\, but it has lots of environmental and ethical issues. The paints and acetate used are pretty harsh on the artists and the environment. \nThe Walrus of Peace project\, by a collective of Bendigo artists\, investigates a non-toxic\, environmentally friendly\, recyclable\, alternative set of materials for temporary street art installations. The materials include ceramic slip (aka mud)\, ochres\, natural pigments and natural binders (wax\, resins and oils). \nThe technique dates back 35 000 years and has been used to create rock paintings across the country. Walrus of Peace shows how we can incorporate ancient knowledge into contemporary practice to help move towards a more sustainable future. \nOutdoor installation\, accessible everyday at all times.
