Future Remains: The 2024 Macfarlane Commissions

'Future Remains: The 2024 Macfarlane Commissions' is the fourth edition of a multi-year partnership that supports ambitious new projects by emerging to mid-career artists. This edition showcases seven artists from across Australia – Kim Ah Sam, Andy Butler, Teelah George, Alexandra Peters, Nicholas Smith, Joel Sherwood Spring and Salote Tawale – who variously reclaim, restage and reframe specific material, cultural or ideological inheritances in an effort not only to better understand the past but open up new possibilities for current and future worlds. Engaging a broad range of historical reference points, from idiosyncratic personal and familial narratives, cultural and artistic lineages, to more official archives and collections, 'Future Remains' reflects on the ways that the past reverberates in the present. The exhibition invites you to contemplate the gifts and burdens of these legacies, alongside the promise of their reconfiguration for the future. Curator: Shelley McSpedden
