The Carbon_Dating project, initiated in 2022, aimed to reshape our relationship with Poaceae, commonly known as grasses, through artwork-based experiments. By spotlighting these often-overlooked plants, it urges a shift in focus towards the broader ecosystem’s health.
Integrating Indigenous knowledge, science, and art, the project explores equitable and ecological perspectives on grasslands. Teams of scientists, artists, and growers collaborated across six Queensland sites, nurturing native grass plots. The resulting exhibition showcases artworks by Queensland artists, reflecting their experiences with Carbon_Dating. It encompasses various contemporary art forms, including sculpture, weaving, photography, and performance.
Exhibiting artists include Keith Armstrong, Liz Capelin, Danielle Constance, Hilary Coulter, Merinda Davies, Donna Davis, Mia Hacker, Andrea Higgins, Luke Lickfold, Jason Murphy, Kilagi Nielsen, Sasha Parlett, Melissa Stannard, Delissa Walker Ngadijina and Pipier Weller. The exhibition’s curators are Jo-Anne Driessens and Beth Jackson.
