Hot Source - Kirralee Robinson Exhibition Opening

Hot Source presents a speculative relationship between the Outer Space gallery and the sun, imagined as a flirtatious, reciprocal, ongoing (albeit seasonal) crush. Hot Source includes installations and text inspired by Outer Space’s materiality and architecture, suggesting what this relationship may feel like.

Kirralee Robinson is an artist who works on the unceded lands of Magandjin/Meanjin (Brisbane) and Tulmur (Ipswich), Australia. Her sculptural practice engages the happenstance of light, optics, and tactility. She draws influence from speculative science fiction and the attentive discipline of materials conservation, grounded in a philosophy of ecofeminism. Kirralee channels a sensitivity to the climate emergency through reckoning with ubiquitous material waste such as metals, plastics and processed timbers. Through caring actions such as conscious cleaning and love poems, Kirralee honours this waste as sacred, tracing each fragment of matter back to the earth from which it came.
