In–formal ~ Our new podcast offering, where we dive (casually) into conversation with artists, friends and curious minds on various themes as they arise in our local and global contexts.
This week, Keemon and Nadeem are in conversation with Norton Fredericks about some of the processes, consequences and anxieties in their exhibition, ‘Contaminated’. Contaminated presents new works across silk, cyanotype and bronze in the acknowledgement of our new ecological realities—technology vs nature. We talk through ‘Forever Chemicals‘ contamination, health, sustainability and hope ~
Norton Fredericks is a queer visual artist and workshop facilitator who has mixed European and Aboriginal Australian (Murri) heritage and currently lives on Kombumerri Country, Gold Coast. Their work is at the intersection of science and art, exploring the dialogue between environmental sustainability, queer ecologies and First Nations knowledges. Investigating these themes through research and practice-based artwork Norton explores historical and ancient techniques in a contemporary way that is often site specific, responding to place and Country.
Norton Fredericks 'Contaminated' is on at Outer Space until May 11th.

Archie Moore (b. 1970, Toowoomba, l. Redland, Queensland. Kamilaroi/Bigambul) works across media in conceptual, research-based portrayals of self and national histories. His ongoing interests include key signifiers of identity (skin, language, smell, home, genealogy, flags), the borders of intercultural understanding and misunderstanding and the wider concerns of racism. Archie Moore will represent Australia at the 2024 Venice Biennale, with the exhibition to be curated by Ellie Buttrose, Curator of Contemporary Australian Art at the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art.
