NOT NATURAL
17.02.24 – 29.06.24
NOT NATURAL explored the growing friction between natural and artificial systems. With increasing control over nature, humans have opened a plethora of possibility and a pandoras box of ethical dilemmas. NOT NATURAL asked: are we redesigning evolution or is evolution re-designing us?
DARK MATTERS
05.08.23 – 02.12.23
DARK MATTERS was an exhibition in collaboration with Arts at CERN and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics exploring the fundamental essence of life and the universe, and how so much of it remains a mystery to us.
BREAK THE BINARIES
18.02.23 – 17.06.23
BREAK THE BINARIES presented a playful and kaleidoscopic view of identity and genders, and their relationship with science, technology, culture, race, sexuality and creativity.
SWARM: PART OF THE PACK?
13.08.22 – 03.12.22
SWARM was a space that aimed to uncover the very essence of human behaviour and questioned what drives us to be social. Through a series of collaborative exhibits and projects, SWARM delved into the science and art behind what it means to be part of the pack.
MENTAL: HEAD INSIDE
20.01.22 – 18.06.22
MENTAL was a welcoming place to confront societal bias and stereotypes around mental health. Explore, empathise and question what it means to be human using science, technology and creativity.
DISPOSABLE: RE-IMAGINING
YOUR WASTE
01.08.19 – 01.09.19
The lid has been lifted on human wastefulness, but what next? Science Gallery Melbourne’s pop-up season, DISPOSABLE, takes you on a dumpster dive to find creative solutions to our throwaway culture.
PERFECTION: PART EXPERIMENT / PART EXHIBITION
12.09.18 – 13.11.18
Mathematical precision, quantum physics, Utopian worlds, body modification, internet dating and Instagram filters.
Why do humans strive for perfection?
BLOOD: ATTRACT AND REPEL
02.08.17 – 23.09.17
The alluring mystery of blood has fascinated scientists and artists for centuries. From biological fluid to artistic medium, Blood: Attract & Repel is a powerful collision of arts and science that will take you on a journey of scientific discovery, social taboo and self-identity. Part exhibition, part experiment, this season is curated for the curious and is definitely not for the faint-hearted.
