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.

Miri Badger is a painter and ceramicist living and working in Meanjin/Brisbane. Her work is predominantly representational with subject matter that investigates uncanny visual interactions. An amalgamation of seemingly mismatched objects and figures are often collaged in ambiguous spaces within her work. This contributes an unusual mixture of pathos and eerie amusement.
In 2019 Badger graduated with Honours in Fine Art at Queensland College of Art and in 2017 from National Art School with a BFA. Solo exhibitions include Scrapbook Quadrangle at Sure Studio 2022 and Divine Clutter at The Third Quarter Gallery in 2020. Badger has participated in group shows such as Botanics at Gala Galley and Mutual Intent at the Brisbane Powerhouse.
