Photography by Dimitra Koriozos. Attending To is a collaborative work by sound artist Aarti Jadu and ceramicist Claire de Carteret exploring the interplay between sound and ceramics. Over six months, the artists spent their residency in the <a href="https://westspace.org.au/studio" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">West Space Studio</a> to find resonance between unexplored materials in their individual practices. Attending To is the beginning of a series of collaborative experiments emerging from a shared interest in the way listening, rather than hearing, can cultivate intimacy, subjective interpretation and reflection. For Between You and I, a central work in the project, Aarti and Claire sourced basalt—using discarded cutting sludge from Bluestone Victorian Quarries—kneading it into clay for the sculpture to take shape before creating sound that resonates with, and within, the forms. The artists invite bodily engagement with the work, as they contemplate our relationship with time, both in the present moment, and within a much larger sense of deep time, geological and cosmic. You are invited to lay on the foam, to rest your head on the sculptural body, and listen. - West Space Director Joanna Kitto https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/A2435763864433062547097390531735/Melbourne-Art-Fair---West-Space---26-copy-2.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/S2464517357325013746497640318103/WEB-RES-Headshot--AARTI-AND-CLAIRE--Image-by-Chloe-Sobejko-copy-2.jpg Aarti Jadu and Claire de Carteret, 'Attending To', installation view, Melbourne Art Fair 2025, West Space PROJECT ROOM.

Notes on Reciprocity presented the work of Chrystal Rimmer, Laura de Carteret, Sibylla Robertson, Tango Conway & Hugh Crowley at Stanley Street Gallery in 2024. Drawing from the text ‘on weaving a basket’ by anthropologist Tim Ingold and lyrics from Lauryn Hill’s album, ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’, the exhibition is interested in the relationship that grows from spending quality time with material, exploring mutuality in processes of art making where, “mind is not above, nor nature below; if we ask where mind is, it is in the weave of the surface itself” and in this sense brings attention to how ideas don’t always happen in our heads, they are not strictly cognitive; intuition and serendipity are precious forces and we are situated in an ecology of material and the possibility of reciprocity in this is beautiful.

"As you are falling, your sense of orientation may start to play additional tricks on you. The horizon quivers in a maze of collapsing lines and you may lose any sense of above and below, of before and after, of yourself and your boundaries. Traditional modes of seeing and feeling are shattered. Any sense of balance is disrupted. Perspectives are twisted and multiplied. New types of visuality arise" - Hito Steyerl This exhibition considers different frameworks of vertigo and disorientation as starting points to re-imagine temporal senses and a fragmented sense of being in the world. Bringing together five artists; Jacquie Meng, Neil Beedie, Claire Welch, Jemima Lucas, Brigitte Podrasky, Loss of Horizon invites different meditations on navigating destabilisation.

Amongst them, you can fall down, fall apart and fall in love. Each new way of falling is predicated on a relocation of the self to somewhere new. Each new way of falling also requires the acknowledgement of the passage of time as the price paid for the movement from point A to point B. To fall in love can happen as rapidly as falling out of love, however, it can also be excruciatingly slow, demanding that you are acutely aware of each descending moment. Nevertheless, you have relocated, you are not where, or how, you previously were. Sometimes we find ourselves at our new destination without acknowledging the journey it took to get there. You can be on your face in an instant, not knowing where it all went wrong. The choreography of the falling body is congruent with the chronometry of falling time, creating the unique circumstances for the transformative qualities of disequilibrium and freefall. In order to fall through the spatial, one must fall through the temporal. In order to fall through the temporal, one must fall through the spatial. As Laurie Anderson describes this process in 1983’s Walking and Falling, ‘over and over, you’re falling. And then catching yourself from falling. And this is how you can be walking and falling at the same time.’ Vertigo is often presented as the perceptual embodiment of falling without the corporal reality of movement. However, this belies the physical transformational aspects of vertigo. Vertigo can move you. Vertigo is an inherently dynamic motion. It arises situationally, spatially, and temporarily, and combines discordant elements: tumult and permanence, termination and construction, creation and evolution, uncertainty and motion. It can make clear or obfuscate, cause upheaval and move heaven and earth. As a state of existence, the physically destabilising nature of vertigo indicates a temporal opening toward possible transformation and innovation.1 ‘Many people purposefully and joyfully search for states of vertigo, relishing moments of blissful disorientation, self-abandonment, and catharsis.’2 François Jullien understands a ‘fertile’ moment of dizziness to exist wherein, due to a loss of equilibrium and the person being ‘suspended from clearness,’ new ways of thinking can be found. It is apparent that to fall from within is a formidable feeling, a catalyst for conception and physical change. But when does this change occur? With the culmination of the fall? Too often the transformative nature of flux is measured only when is has smashed into the pavement, its shards spirited away for collection, the remainder trickling into retrospective. excerpt from exhibition essay by Mitchell Krewaz https://clairedecarteret.com/a-place-where-we-can-be-together 2025-07-31T04:00:31+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/H2435774841629292209808818422935/Stanley-St-June-22-web-1.jpg Paula do Prado & Samantha Jade https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/V2477082549431914952297792521367/Stanley-St-June-22-web-17.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/B2477082549487255184518921176215/Stanley-St-June-22-web-20.jpg A curatorial project exploring and celebrating the work of Chicana writer Gloria Anzaldua, namely her concept of the Coyolxauhqui imperative. Presenting the work of nine early and mid-career artists; Francesca Zak, Garden Reflexxx & Stelly G, Lily Golightly, Lottie Braun, Maria Wang, Mika Benesh, Paula do Prado, Samantha Jade, Serwah Attafuah, the exhibition invites each artist to share their own mythologies; poeticising friendship, portals, emotion, forgotten knowledges, ancestral connections, and world making. Gloria’s knowledge of the moon goddess, Coyolxauhqui and her violent story of murder, fragmentation, and rebirth as the moon; of becoming the light in the darkness, is the guiding concept that captures the works concertedly. Spanning installation, textiles, painting, print-media, sound, sculpture and contemporary jewellery, this vibrant and eclectic show encourages generous appreciation of the tangled networks that hold us here, together. According to Anzaldúa, “The Coyolxauhqui imperative is to heal and achieve integration. When fragmentation occur you fall apart and feel as though you’ve been expelled from paradise. The Coyolxauhqui imperative is an ongoing process of making and unmaking. There is never any resolution, just the process of healing. [...] the act of calling back those pieces of the self/ soul that have been dispersed or lost ... after being split, dismembered, or torn apart la persona has to pull herself together, re-member and reconstruct herself on another level” - Gloria E. Anzaldúa.
