SUMMARY:Skywhales Across Australia: Patricia Piccinini
DESCRIPTION:Patricia Piccinini’s Skywhalepapa is a monumental sculpture in the form of a hot-air balloon. Together with its companion piece Skywhale they form a skywhale family. \nFollowing their debut over Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra 2021\, the floating pair will continue to take to skies across Australia as a National Gallery touring event in 2026. \nPiccinini believes Skywhales Across Australia is not only two spectacular sculptures but a performance piece: \n\n“I imagine visitors assembling to watch Skywhalepapa coming to life\, with a single skywhale figure we have a character\, but with the two we have a relationship\, and a narrative.” says Piccinini. \nAs the skywhales float across the dawn skies\, Piccinini calls on communities to engage with them creatively. Make a morning of it\, prepare a picnic\, watch in awe\, and sing along in wonder as the skywhale family takes flight. \n\n  \nSee the skywhales in Armidale as part of the Autumn Festival on the 21st of March from 5:30am at Rologas Sporting Fields and floating over the CBD as the sun rises. \n  \nPatricia Piccinini will then join us at the New England Regional Art Museum for the following events: \n11am-12pm: Every Heart Sings Book Reading \n1:30pm-2:30pm: Artist Talk with Patricia Piccinini \nSkywhales Across Australia is a National Gallery Touring Event\, supported by the Australian Government through Visions of Australia and the National Collecting Institutions Touring Outreach Program.  \nSkywhales is the third instalment of The Balnaves Contemporary Series and is a Know My Name project.

SUMMARY:Skywhales Across Australia: Artist Talk with Patricia Piccinini
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a rare opportunity to hear from one of Australia’s most celebrated contemporary artists\, Patricia Piccinini. \n\n\n\nFor over 25 years Patricia Piccinini has interrogated the complex relationship between our natural and artificial worlds\, beginning each creative project with a speculative question\, a wondrous ‘What if…?’. \n\n\nKnown internationally for her astonishing hyperrealism\, Piccinini’s practice comprises drawing\, photography\, video\, mixed-media painted compositions\, large-scale installation\, and includes the now iconic hot-air balloon Skywhales sculptures. \n  \n\nSkywhales Across Australia is a National Gallery Touring Event\, supported by the Australian Government through Visions of Australia and the National Collecting Institutions Touring Outreach Program.  \nSkywhales is the third instalment of The Balnaves Contemporary Series and is a Know My Name project.

SUMMARY:Experimenta Emergence: National Tour of Media Arts
DESCRIPTION:Experimenta Emergence presents the work of contemporary artists who explore emerging societal and environmental changes and offer other perspectives\, imagined possibilities and directions. \nAt a time when the unknown and maybe the unknowable is building like a wave\, these artists encourage us to question our shifting realities. What are the forces shaping our worlds? How might we encounter\, counter or adapt to the transformations of the human and more-than-human world we are part of? Can we alter current trajectories? \nThe art works these Australian and international artists have created – virtual realities\, participatory works\, and speculative fictions – will provoke you to ask questions about where we\, individually and collectively\, are going … and where we might want to go. \n  \n\nCurator: Lubi Thomas \nCuratorial Advisor: Jody Haines \n\nARTISTS \nLeah Barclay | Ina Conradi & Mark Chavez | Sophie Dumaresq | Kate Geck | Amrita Hepi | Katrin Hochschuh & Adam Donovan | Ben Joseph Andrews & Emma Roberts | Daniel McKewen | Hayley Millar Baker | Jonny Scholes | Cecilie Waagner Falkenstrøm | Wang & Söderström | Liam Young
