Following the success of Performing Textiles in 2019, Unpredict: Imagining Future Ecologies is the second major curatorial project developed in collaboration between the Potter and the Victorian College of the Arts’ Honours (Visual Art) program. Student artists from the program were invited to embrace artistic speculation as a possible way to re-imagine the near future. Following a competitive selection process, eight artists were selected and worked across the year to develop new interdisciplinary responses to this premise.
The exhibition was curated by Dr Cate Consandine, Senior Lecturer / Coordinator and Katie Lee, Lecturer, Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) (Visual Art) at VCA Art, with Dr Kyla McFarlane, Curator of Academic Programs (Research) and Brad Rusbridge, Assistant Curator, Ian Potter Museum of Art.
