Postponed

Join artists Moorina Bonini, Kalanjay Dhir and Jazz Money for a screening and discussion on their new video works, recently commissioned for Unfinished Camp.

In 2021, ACMI commissioned three new video works by Moorina Bonini, Kalanjay Dhir and Jazz Money which premiered as part of a global initiative titled Unfinished Camp, at both the House of Electronic Arts in Basel, and The Shed in New York.

Join us as for a screening of all three films and a discussion between the artists and ACMI Curator Kate ten Buuren. We will explore how young artists are imagining and shaping a more equitable digital future, as they respond to the question, ‘what is the future of art, in a decentralised world?’

Tickets include a drink on arrival and bookings are essential. Tickets are free for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

ACMI's ART+FILM program showcases short and feature-length films by leading Australian and international artists. With a focus on single-channel works that harness the unique conventions of cinema, the program comprises internationally significant works from the ever-expanding field of artist films.

About Moorina Bonini

Moorina Bonini is a proud descendant of the Yorta Yorta Dhulunyagen family clan of Ulupna  and the Yorta Yorta and Wurundjeri Briggs/McCrae family. Moorina is an artist whose works are informed by her experiences as an Aboriginal and Italian woman.

Her practice is driven by a self-reflexive methodology that enables the reexamination of lived experiences that have influenced the construction of her cultural identity. By unsettling the narrative placed upon Aboriginal people as a result of colonisation of Aboriginal Australia, Bonini’s practice is based within Indigenous Knowledge systems and brings this to the fore.

About Kalanjay Dhir

Kalanjay Dhir is an artist based in Sydney on unceded Dharug Land. He has made work about rivers, games, space technology, sci-fi, myth, social media, Mountain Dew, urban development, progress and time.

Working with sculpture, video and internet objects, Dhir is interested in near-futurism and spirituality through mythological and speculative technologies. In his spare time he enjoys reading manga and imagining what things would look like if they were built with a secular devotion.

About Unfinished Live

The project, led by Swiss Curator Hans Ulrich Obrist and author András Szántó took place in September 2021 at The Shed, New York and House of Electronic Arts, Basel, and brought together emerging voices from across the globe with fresh takes on what our collective future could look like, through the lens of young artists.

As well as being displayed on ACMI’s Gallery 5, the works were shown at The Shed New York, with parallel programming at House of Electronic Arts, Basel from 23–25 September 2021. Learn more about Unfinished Live
