    INSIDE THE GALLERY (AUSTRALIA) - JUMAADI'S UPSIDE DOWN GARDEN

    Created by Indonesian/Australian artist Jumaadi, Upside-Down Garden is a magical environment that evokes the transformation of life and objects from one state to another. Located in Sydney's Barangaroo precinct, this public installation is a multilayered intervention, imbued with personal mythologies and cultural references. It holds fragments of time, creatures, history -both seen and unseen- memory and speculation.  In this episode Tim Stackpool speaks with co-curators Holly Williams and Glenn Barkley about the work, the collaboration, and the challenges of creating artwork for a developing public space. More information about the work: https://www.barangaroo.com/see-do-stay/upside-down-garden Upside Down Garden by Jumaadi. Curated by Holly Williams and Glenn Barkley through The Curators’ Department.

    INSIDE THE GALLERY (AUSTRALIA) - NELSON'S LOSSES DISGUISED AS WINS

    Nelson Nghe is a Western Sydney-based artist engaging with a diverse range of media including painting, photo media and assemblage. His practice is characterised by the passionate use of mixed media and playful abstractions to push boundaries and highlight the living experience of gambling harm as an affected other.  His exhibition LOSSES DISGUISED AS WINS at Firstdraft in Sydney, illuminates the often "invisible" nature of gambling harm, especially its impact on loved ones. Through evocative found objects and images, Nelson reimagines hidden domestic moments, exploring the emotional toll that gambling harm inflicts on those indirectly affected. While substantial research has been conducted on individuals experiencing gambling harm, little attention has been given to its impact on children, who are often silent sufferers. Nelson’s work amplifies the voices of those who suffer in silence and encourages the audience to challenge the societal structures that enable gambling to flourish and persist. Video: https://youtu.be/o2MGCcRsLa8 A transcript of this discussion is available for download here, thanks to the Australian Arts Channel.
