This show asks how science fiction can be a tool for artists to anticipate meaningful notions of the future. Sci-fi is not simply a genre, but a vehicle for expressing collective dreams and fears about our ever-changing world. Nor are the aesthetics of sci-fi limited to the space age, for we do not seem destined for a future of technological salvation. The varied works in this exhibition are therefore grounded in trans-historical thinking. They are imaginative leaps, speculative propositions, compromises, and even fantasies. The curatorial premise of their grouping is this:
Gatekeepers 2019

Factory
April - July 2019
Factory is a show hearkening to earliest sites of production – the household – evolving into what we understand as the industrial revolution; on to the rapid evaporations of a technological 21st-century. Here, artists are factories, as if coming full circle. Creative workers and thinkers tell stories, weave histories, sport reflections, make demonstrations, share collections, manufacture clothing and hold events throughout the spring exhibition.

Encampment
October 2018 - February 2019
Encampment, A Guide to the Field's inaugural exhibition, was an installation collection of conceptual products that offer expanded possibilities of comfort, camping, modern life, and shifting notions of home in an ever-migratory society. From stained linen textiles to recycled soaps, from she-wolf tables to U&I wall-and-ceiling systems, visitors to the project gallery were offered materials and ideas to enhance domestic activities of resting, cooking, cleaning, and playing-being.

STRANGE ATTRACTOR
This project was born from a vacant space and a group of women looking to experience communal making and gathering. What emerged was a Pop Up open studio situated in Lismore NSW. Together we explored collective women’s spaces and the expression of community focused making. People were invited in to engage with us and with the process of creative engagement.
