This exhibition celebrates the life, curatorial practice, and professional career of Lizzy Marshall - curator, educator, writer, mentor, and friend.

site / situation draws from Lizzy’s teaching and long-standing engagement with site-responsive practice and art in the public domain: approaches that consider how meaning is shaped through place, context, encounter, and lived experience. Presented at Articulate Project Space - the site of Lizzy’s final exhibition - the project serves as a tribute, a reflection, and an opportunity to come together.

A reverie is a state between reality and imagination; a daydream shaped by memory, feeling, and association. Bringing together artists who collaborated with Lizzy throughout her career, the exhibition presents a series of responses across media that reflect on shared histories, creative exchanges, and the traces she leaves in artistic practice and community.

site / situation is a delicate meditation on memory, grief, and the quiet joy of remembering.

Next Saturday Night in Wentworth Falls. be there

MAPBM presents: Theatre of Light: the Ectoplasmic Apparition Machine, unfolding on the 4th July at Wentworth Falls School of Arts

An evening of sound curios, wonder, and unworldly transmissions, curated by Naomi Oliver and Mx Robert Frost. Featuring an astral projected performance by Katya Petetskaya, moving somewhere between presence and absence, body and echo.
 
The night will drift between séance and signal, where performance slips in and out of visibility like an apparition. Visuals and handmade apparatus accompany the sound works. Flickering devices, refracted light, and illusion-based experiments draw on the language of nineteenth-century spiritualism and the mechanics of the famous Pepper’s Ghost illusion. Immerse yourself in the suggestion of levitation, ascension, and perhaps even contact. 
 
Tickets: $30 and $25 concession/MAPBM Members, available from https://events.humanitix.com/mapbm-theatre-of-light
