“Evolution Explosion!”
Safari Team
1 Apr → 20 May 2010
The first project to inhabit West Wing has been the collaborative group Safari Team, who have been in residence working on their latest project Evolution Explosion!, which will be launched next week as part of the 2010 Next Wave Festival.
Evolution Explosion! explores the past, present and future of human evolution by jamming together science and imagination, fact and fiction. Evolution celebrates life on earth, the human brain, natural selection and our long distant amphibian ancestors. Video, collage, animation, performance and drawing all jostle for airtime in a five-screen open-air pop culture experience.
Venue: Birrarung Marr
Dates: 13th – 30th May, 2010
This project was supported by the City of Melbourne, Besen, JB Seed, ArtPlay and West Space West Wing.
Safari Team (Lillian O’Neil, Blaine Cooper and Jon Oldmeadow) is an artist collaborative that has been working across disciplines since 2005. The team formed whilst its three members were studying Fine Art at Monash University, and has since exhibited in Melbourne, Sydney, Italy and Canada.
Pursuing a high-energy, DIY aesthetic, the trio utilises a broad range of mediums including video, installation, performance, collage, drawing and sculpture. Inspired by Gilbert & George’s concept of ‘Art for All’, Safari Team aims to produce work that can be appreciated by a wide and varied audience.
