Past, Place, Future
Libby Harward, Callum McGrath, Sancintya Mohini Simpson
Curated by Simone Hine and Kyle Weise
[MARS] Gallery, Melbourne, 7 November - 7 December, 2019
Presented as part of an exchange with Metro Arts
This exhibition brings together video work by three emerging artists based in South-East Queensland: Libby Harward, Callum McGrath and Sancintya Mohini Simpson. Each artist’s work emphasises place, and the specificity of the local sites where they were filmed and in which the works dwell. The works layer repressed histories over these landscapes, remembering forgotten stories, while looking to the future and transforming these places via the specific possibilities of video.
