The Gas Imaginary

Rachel O'Reilly

Curated by: Denise Ryner

A multi-disciplinary project using poetry, collaborative drawings, installation, moving images, and lectures to unpack the broader significance of ‘settler conceptualism’, the racial logic of the property form and fossil fuel-based labour politics as capital reaches the limits of land use. In ongoing dialogue with elders of Gooreng Gooreng country and settler women activists, where fracking was approved for mass installation in ‘Australia’, new elements of this work address the threatened destruction to 50% of the Northern Territory.

Included in the exhibition is INFRACTIONS, a feature length documentary. Daily start times are 12:00pm, 1:03pm, 2:06pm, 3:09pm, and 4:12pm.
