The biennial emerging arts festival Next Wave opened in Melbourne last night, and runs until the end of May. This years festival, involving nearly 400 artists across 61 different curated projects, is tagged with the theme Closer Together and questions the conditions under which we are encouraged or blocked from coming together.
There are lots of really interesting projects and I encourage you to have a look around on the website, here are a few of my recommendations
Polyphonic: the festivals lecture, forum and workshop series
En Plein Air, a site specific exhibition by Sydney artists Karl Logge, Tessa Rapaport, created through a month long residency in the Botanical Gardens (the images above are from this project, taken from the Makeshift website)
Agents of Proximity, a local artist run travel agency, encouraging new encounters between people and places
2020? an evolving installation lead by artist Ash Keating and a dozen collaborators, making art out of rubbish and investigating environmental issues in arts practice
