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:UMWELTEN - Eco-fields and other Universes
DESCRIPTION:Felicity Spear\, in her exhibition Umwelten – eco-fields and other universes\, has created circular paintings on wood\, encircled by profiles of the human skull. They are speculations about the possibilities for other habitats or other universes beyond our sensorium at either a micro or macro level. \nIn 1909\, the biologist Jakob von Uexküll introduced the concept of the umwelt to describe the small subset of the world which an animal is able to detect. This word expresses a simple but often overlooked observation; different animals in the same ecosystem tune in to different environmental signals which are fundamental to their communication and signification. While we accept the reality of the world with which we’re presented\, so much goes undetected in our lives. \nOur sensorium is enough to get by in our ecosystem\, but is does not approximate the larger picture. The more science taps into the hidden channels of the electromagnetic spectrum\, the more it becomes clear that our brains are tuned to detect a surprisingly small fraction of the surrounding reality. So the idea of the umwelt also captures the idea of unseen possibilities. Spear’s paintings map an eco-field of umwelten\, creating a possible ecosystem of other universes.

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:Are you taking the piss?
DESCRIPTION:Join a brilliant panel who won’t shy away from the yuck-factor to find innovative solutions to our over consumption of… everything. \nWould you break the law to save the world? We’re living in a world of finite resources\, yet there are laws in place preventing us from using these resources wisely. Join us as we lift the lid on barriers preventing our transformation towards real sustainability. Innovation moves so fast that rules and regulations can’t possibly keep up\, often leaving scientists/engineers/businesses on the wrong side of the law. \nIn Australia\, we throw away over one million tonnes of water per day. Just wow. And don’t even get us started on the other things we flush down the drain that could be used for the power of good. Hint: we are literally flushing a powerful wee-source! We need to be inventive\, creative and brave with what we have and how we use it. \nWho has a say in shaping our streets and cities? When is waste valuable again? Is a sharing economy the answer to all our problems?
