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.

Morgan Hogg is a Cook Island-Australian emerging artist living and working on unceded Dharug and Gadigal land. Through the perspective of her Kūki Airani heritage, Hogg utilises installation and performance as visual representations of her own exploration of cultural displacement and identity. Making space within her practice to rely on oral exchange between her mother and family, Hogg continues the story of her ancestry through maintaining traditional practices within her works. In engaging with performance and installation, she creates spaces of belonging within her institutionalised upbringing in Australia.
Special thanks to Ariki Entertainment, Mama Fly, Archive New Zealand, Nikki Upoko, Mata Hogg, Harry Klein, Tav Pacific, Rachel Feng, Isabelle Virrey, PIMDAN. My ancestors, who we continue the story for. This work was commissioned by Firstdraft as part of The Only Thing Left is to Leave, supported by the Keir Foundation, co-developed by Firstdraft and Beirut Art Centre.
