Collaborative projects such as MORPHOLOGIES present crucial opportunities for artistic crossovers, in the context of artistic boundaries (in terms of medium and technologies), national divides, and institutional cooperation. Collaborations with leading international organizations, such as ZKM, are important for Australian artists as they are given the opportunity to develop, and present, their work in an expanded media-scape and the high level of resourcing and expectation lends ambition to the participating Australian artists' ideas. Integral to the exhibition is the critical forum, Morphologies: Shape-Shifting and Media Arts, convened by Anna Munster. It is important to acknowledge that institutions need to play 'host' to the new languages forming around emergent media, and to promulgate the development of new theory and criticism in relation to these nascent art forms.
The exhibition MORPHOLOGIES and its accompanying Symposium are jointly presented by Artspace Australia, Ivan Dougherty Gallery and the Centre for Interactive Cinema Research,College of Fine Arts, UNSW.
