Cloud Studies brings together artists Leah Beeferman, Anna Madeleine Raupach, Rebecca Beardmore, and Yvette Hamilton to imagine the atmosphere as a threshold, where clouds hover between the natural and the technological. The artists consider clouds not only as weather forms but as symbolic spaces where history, representation, science, and environmental change converge.
Working across photography, video, data visualisation and printmaking, the works in the exhibition approach clouds as mutable figures of knowledge and metaphor. They also echo the contemporary "cloud" of digital and algorithmic technologies, fabricating glimpses into hidden infrastructures and opaque systems. The atmosphere emerges here as a frontier: fragile, charged, and suspended, where earth and sky, human and machine, presence and disappearance intersect.
Cloud Studies is presented in partnership with the Canberra Art Biennial.
