Artist Natasha Dubler and curator Kristy Gordon host this deeply immersive, speculative sound experience in the gallery after hours, where Natasha's Between the Turns of Tide will be performed in its complete eight-channel composition.
Following the slow listening experience, please linger to join curator and artist in conversation about resonant aspects of sound recording and sound art, deep listening with water, and slow aesthetics.
Free entry
Natasha Dubler is a multidisciplinary artist working across sound installation, music performance and sculpture. Her work looks at how resonance as a material phenomenon can mould and shape landscape at or below the Earth’s surface, and how memories of these subtle shifts are etched into the material histories of a site.
Natasha has presented work and undertaken residencies across Australia, Asia, and Europe. Her first solo exhibition, Tephra (2024), was presented at Lewers: Penrith Regional Gallery in collaboration with Caitlin Dubler. As part of the art collective Shock Lines, she recently developed an exhibition and performance series at Canberra Glassworks for the Canberra International Music Festival (2025). Natasha has also been commissioned to compose for artists including Kate Baker (Difficult Knowledge, 2024), and institutions including the Shanghai Museum of Glass (Alchemy, 2025).
Kristy Gordon is an artist and researcher working on Gadigal and Darkinjung Country. Her current practice-based doctoral research, in the field of expanded drawing, investigates slow art and contemporary slow aesthetics through digital and analogue drawing, sculpture and multi-practice installation. Kristy foregrounds time, attention and contemplation through the practice of drawing water, and connects physical experiences of wild nature and of drawing with metaphysical states of reverie. Methods of embodied gesture and cumulative, repetitive mark-making, with iPad and pencil, power drills and carving tools, explore how ‘fast’ materialities can paradoxically generate slow affective experiences. This is a critical artistic approach to contemporary speed culture and crises of time and climate, and aims to reframe slowness as a generative artistic mode for the contemporary moment.
