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:Win a free moon rock competition!
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of our 50th birthday and the Moon landing on 21 July 1969 (Australian Time) we are running a competition to win a small piece of the Moon! Open to all Primary & Secondary students in Australia. The question asked gives a clue to how we obtained the unique specimen. Good luck. \n  \n*** It’s our 50th birthday this year\, inspired by humans walking on the Moon! ***  So we’d like to kneel down and share the buzz with you. \nPrize\nA small piece of the Moon. It’s not as big as the one photographed by Eugene Cernan on the Moon though. And\, no\, you don’t win any cheese. \nEligibility\nOnly for current school-age students at high school or primary school anywhere in Australia. \nCost\nFree. \nWhat’s the catch?\nNone\, though we do hope that Google Forms can handle the excitement of Science Week! \nWhat to do\nGo to the link for the free National Science Week competition at the MPAS Events page below\, answer some easy questions and put in your best guess at the final BIG Moon question there. Then wait. That’s it. \nThe winner will be contacted by email and one of their teachers must reply to us with an address to which the prize can be safely shipped. \nThe calculated answer will be posted on the MPAS website once determined. \nType your answers carefully because duplicates will be disqualified. Only one entry per student. \nCompetition is open now and closes on 18 August. \nThe first received closest answer to that determined from the “wisdom of the crowd” value across Australia after the end of the competition will be the winner. \nSee the link for further details of this fun and easy experiment\, and good luck! \nIf this has inspired you\, like the late Neil Armstrong asked\, to “look up and give the Moon a wink“\, do some local detective work to see if you have a nearby astronomy society or club who might be able to share the wonders of the Australian night sky with your family.

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:Plastivore
DESCRIPTION:Artist Oliver Kellhammer’s work allows you to watch the mealworms as they dine on polystyrene. \n  \nOliver Kellhammer (United States of America) \nDo solutions to our recycling crisis exist in nature? \nNature is outsmarting us. Solutions to our enormous waste problems are often right in front of us. Polystyrene is a non-biodegradable material that is a large component of our global waste problem and a major contributor to pollution. The humble mealworm has the ability to partially biodegrade polystyrene through its gut bacteria\, breaking down the plastic and turning it into compost. But what if we start genetically engineering our insect friends to be super plastic-digesters? The perfect solution? Or ecological slavery? \nArtist Oliver Kellhammer’s work allows you to watch the mealworms as they dine on polystyrene. \nThe University of Melbourne\, Macfarland Court \n1–18 August\nOpen Monday to Saturday 11am–6pm\, plus Sunday 18 August 10am–4pm.

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.
