Art et al: Exchange, Engage is an exhibition and accessible digital document highlighting a series of collaborations and partnerships funded by Creative Australia. In line with Art et al.'s ethos of championing a more inclusive contemporary art world, Art et al: Exchange, Engage exhibits neurodivergent and learning disabled artists alongside their non-disabled peers. The focus of the exhibition is work produced during four Peer/Peer Collaborations – digital residencies pairing international artists with and without disabilities, and Art et al.’s Curating Collections initiative, which partners an artist working from a supported studio with an established collector or collection to curate a digital project from their collection.
The artists in the exhibition include Melbourne-based Paul Hodges, an artist with Arts Project Australia who collaborated with Indonesian artist Mutia Bunga; Indonesian disabled artist Winda Karunadhita and Mawarini, an Adelaide-based Indonesian-born artist, designer and animator; Clemens Wild, a Swiss artist with Atelier Rohling and Australian artist Harriet Body; and the final collaborating artists are Hena Alexanda Lane Dupreez, an Australian artist with DADAA and Swiss artist Gabi Deutsch. The Curating Collections artist was Swiss artist Philomena Heinel from Atelier Rohling who worked with Melbourne based collector Dr. Michael Schwarz. The collaborations explore themes such as hybridity, friendship and care, and the works include drawings, animations, textiles and ceramics.
