Seeking radical ways of engaging with nature through art, curator Gretel Taylor invited leading Australian performance and visual artists to respond to the theme ‘force of nature’, with an emphasis on participation and performance.
Artists’ works related to the potency or influence of local environments on our lives and arts practices, referred to global environmental forces or climates, and responded to a situation of ‘post-nature’.
Force of Nature comprised an exhibition at Yarra Ranges Regional Museum and satellite events at local sites, September- October 2018.
