Featuring artists Dean Cross and Tributary Project (Geoff Robinson, Ying-Lan Dann, Saskia Schut, Benjamin Woods).‘It would be a nice place’ explores what it means to clean up Australia from within the colonial project. Working through water, these works explore the entanglements of violence and temporalities that saturate the landscape—both real and reimagined. Unmooring ideas around aquatic flows as naturally cleansing, they ask us instead: when the water rises, who feels the flood?The exhibition features media works by Dean Cross and Tributary Project (Geoff Robinson, Ying-Lan Dann, Saskia Schut, Benjamin Woods). Worimi artist Dean Cross’s Pauline (A Portrait) revisits the Toowoomba floods as a metaphor for the colonial project. Silurian Geology speaks to a specific moment within and in connection to the lower Moonee Ponds Creek tributary system, where the concreted channel meets a siltstone rock face from the Silurian geologic period.Tributary Project is supported by the City of Melbourne Arts Grants program, Bus Projects, and Composite.
