McCann's performance, 'Social', premiering on 23 November 2022, activates the space as a strange, other-worldly site for nostalgia, a living, breathing version of her still-life photographs. It reveals her artistic search through the shape-shifting tendencies of apophenia* and binds the audience's experience of nostalgia together as a sort of collective unconsciousness. * The human tendency to seek connections/patterns in random information.

In Conversation / Ali McCann & Raghda Abdel Khaleq
Saturday, 19 November, 2:00-3:00 pm
correspondences 39 Sydney Road Brunswick VIC Join resident artist Ali McCann and artistic physicist Raghda Abdel Khaleq in conversation with correspondences' Emma Thomson (pictured LTR). The artists will reflect on their mutual passion for and pursuit of connections between their artistic practices and science. The starting point for our conversation will be Ali's residency project, Campus: A study of educational, domestic, and deep dark space (In perpetual flux) 2022. The project widens the parameters of her artistic search for nostalgia to encompass the field of dark matter, a by-product of her upbringing in Stawell, country Victoria, where the Southern Hemisphere's first-ever direct-detection dark matter facility now resides, one kilometre below ground in the old Stawell Gold Mine. Ali's childhood home was adjacent to the mine. She recalls her house shaking during mining excavations, the world and her domestic space alive with a deep, dark sense of magic/potential that emanated from the earth far below.
Artistic physicist Raghda, an accomplished painter and Physics PhD, is part of the esteemed Australian Research Centre Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics, affiliated with the facility.
Book your place below to join us. Attendance is free.
