Lau­ren Brin­cat, Louisa Bufarde­ci & Daniel Crooks have each been com­mis­sioned to cre­ate new work for the Tar­raWar­ra Bien­ni­al 2021: Slow Mov­ing Waters.

Curat­ed by Nina Miall, the exhi­bi­tion responds to two relat­ed cues: the idea of slow­ness, and the gen­tle, mea­sured flow of the near­by Bir­rarung (Yarra Riv­er). The exhibition’s title comes from the trans­la­tion of the local Woi­wur­rung word ​‘tar­rawar­ra’, after which the Muse­um, and its sur­round­ing area of Wurund­jeri Coun­try in the Yarra Val­ley are named.

The exhi­bi­tion devel­ops from the idea that between the accel­er­a­tion of our cur­rent age and the impos­si­bil­i­ty of stop­ping alto­geth­er is a tem­po­ral space of pos­si­bil­i­ty and resis­tance: slow­ing down. Through works which unfold con­cep­tu­al­ly, spa­tial­ly, mate­ri­al­ly and tem­po­ral­ly over the course of the exhi­bi­tion, it seeks to height­en our aware­ness to the over­looked sub­tleties of the present.
