Running for over a decade, the annual Octopus exhibition series at Gertrude Contemporary offers a curator "the opportunity to explore key ideas in current curatorial practice, experimenting with their methodology and opening up new possibilities for the discipline."
The Matter of Air takes air as a starting point for broader examination of matter in its many physical, perceptual and symbolic guises. Featuring five artists from around the globe, including Dane Mitchell, the exhibition considers the transformation of artworks that traverse the threshold between the material and the immaterial.
