Past Residents
Megan Cope
Megan Cope is a Quandamooka (North Stradbroke Island in South East Queensland) artist. Her site-specific sculptural installations, video work and paintings investigate issues relating to identity, the environment and mapping practices.
Cope’s work often resists prescribed notions of Aboriginality, and examines psychogeographies that challenge the grand narrative of ‘Australia’ and our sense of time and ownership in a settler colonial state. These explorations result in various material outcomes.
Untitled (Death Song), 2020
Following her residency, Megan Cope presented her work Untitled (Death Song) as part of the 2020 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art. The artist created an interactive sonic sculpture, an installation of repurposed mining equipment transformed into multi-stringed instruments.
You can hear from curator Leigh Robb and Artist Megan Cope discuss the collaborative work here.
Sarah Neville
Sarah Neville is an artist/practitioner whose research is in the area of digital performance.
Glasshouse
The Artist Family in Residence opportunity at Clarendon Creative gave us the time to research the themes of the Glasshouse project - environmental sustainability, regeneration and biospheres containing interdependent organic life. At the same time we considered family and community entanglement creating poetic response to the landscape through words, colours, sound and a movement study.
Centre for Reworlding
(August 2022)
Jen Rae with Claire G. Coleman, Maree Grenfell, Angharad Wynne-Jones, Devon Taylor and Lauren Rickards.
The residency at Clarendon Creative provided a unique space and a valuable residency opportunity for members of the Centre for Reworlding (C∞R) to come together in creative production + research, strategy and the delivery of two Creative Resilience Labs (CR Lab) since our pilot in with the City of Vancouver, Canada in 2019. Our Creative Resilience Labs bring together the expertise of those working in disaster risk reduction and resilience, climate emergency contexts with artists. The CR Lab works with participants to connect, mobilise and ignite new ways of collaborating, thinking about and practicing disaster resilience through experiential learning and practicing the creative resilience methodology.
In Adelaide, our first CR Lab was in partnership with the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience for the AFAC22 Conference and supported by Australia Council, RMIT University and Clarendon Creative – Tuesday 23 August 2022 – to be held at Clarendon Creative.
