Window Gallery x Merete Megarrity
MATERIALITY, COHABITATION and RECONSIDERATION
IN-FORM is our monthly podcast about local emerging arts practices and the critical conversations that surround our contemporary arts ecology. In today's episode, we’re joined by Merete Megarrity, one of our 2023 Outer Space Window Gallery artists, whose work Re-Thinking Habitat is on show from 26 July to 28 August.
This episode was hosted by Outer Space Promotions Officer, Tess Bakharia.
Merete Megarrity is a visual artist living and working in Meanjin/Brisbane. Her practice explores the intersection between sculpture, installation, sound, video, ecology and art history, and focuses on how an installation practice can help an audience make kin with the more-than-human world in the context of environmental breakdown.
Merete is currently enrolled in the Doctor of Visual Arts program at the Queensland College of Art where she has also completed her undergraduate studies. She has held solo exhibitions and been in various group shows across SE Queensland and her work has been shown at the State Library of Queensland, Parliament House in Canberra, Metro Arts, QUT Art Museum, Redland Art Gallery, Springhill Reservoir, Brisbane Powerhouse and QCA Galleries. She has been the Winner of the Queensland Regional Art Award (2011), finalist in the Redland Art Award (2014) and the churchie national emerging art prize (2017).
