Between Waves

Various

7 February - 26 April 2026
Main Gallery and Margaret Scott Gallery

Between Waves is an exhibition developed by the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) touring nationally with NETS Victoria, curated by Dr. Jessica Clark.  Between Waves amplifies concepts related to light, time and vision – and the idea of shining a light on our times – as expressed by the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung word ‘Yalingwa’. The exhibition explores the visible and invisible energy fields set in motion by these ideas, to illuminate interconnected shapeshifting ecologies within, beyond and between what can be seen.

Ten ambitious new commissions from First Nations artists traverse internal and external worlds, embracing the sensory and cyclical rhythms of light and sound, thinking and feeling, listening and seeing, interwoven with ideas of material memory. Artists include Maree Clarke, Dean Cross, Brad Darkson, Matthew Harris, James Howard, Hayley Millar Baker, Jazz Money, Mandy Quadrio, Cassie Sullivan and this mob.

This project has been supported by Creative Victoria through the Yalingwa Visual Arts Initiative and the NETS Victoria’s Exhibition Development Fund; and the Australian Government’s Visions of Australia program.
