Dr Nicholas Mangan.
Through the collaborative program, each artist received $20,000 and mentorship from ACMI staff to support the development of their proposed artworks.
Multidisciplinary artist Nicholas Mangan is developing the work Core Coralations through the program.
Mangan works at the intersection of sculpture and film. His practice explores the unstable relationship between culture and nature, often in relation to The Asia Pacific. His recent projects have focused on Australia's geopolitical implications within the region and its broader economic and ethical place within a global ecology. His practice incorporates extensive archival research, fieldwork, and collaboration across disciplines to excavate the contested histories surrounding specific sites and events.
Mangan’s project Core Coralations, represents a significant shift from his previous projects.
Core Coralations explores the mass bleaching events at the Great Barrier Reef and scientific investigations to restore the fragile ecosystem in our climate emergency.
In addition to this material, Core Coralations will include interviews and archive footage combined with a soundscape employing the screen language of materialist, structuralist film and expanded cinema.
