Daniel Belfield
Daniel Belfield is an Australian-born artist who has lived in Melbourne, Berlin and Moscow. Currently completing his Honours in a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the VCA, Daniel’s practice questions the relative values of the ordering systems by which we live.
The focus of recent projects have included:
Collecting laughter, distance, sunlight, potential lovers (as rocks), vessels of water and light emissions in streets and suburbs, declaring a time meridian in rural Australia and developing an arithmetic which by calculating the position of the viewer and the Sun suggests an alternative time to live on.
Poetic and often laced with humor, Daniel’s recent work manipulates logic to bring to attention our human attempts to rationalize and index time, while highlighting the residual absurdities and inaccuracies created within this process.

Kiron Robinson
Kiron Robinson uses a range of mediums including neon, video, photography and installation to investigate the idea of doubt and failure as constructive devises. Continually chasing ways of articulating that, which by its own definition, is beyond articulation, leads to a paradoxical reasoning in Robinson’s work, which unravels as it constructs. Materials are chosen and placed with great care.
Since 2003 Robinson has exhibited his work widely both nationally and internationally. Recent exhibitions include Immanent Landscape, Kurumuya Museum, Japan (2011), Here's the tender coming (Whoopee) We're all going to die, Pallas Project, Dublin (2011), Encounters with the Uncanny, Gippsland Regional Art Gallery (2011), If I take the time will I get it back, Sarah Scout, Melbourne (2010) Unseen Forces, Institute of Contemporary Art, Sydney (2010) And the Difference Is, NUS, Singapore (2008); 17th of December 1987, West Space, Melbourne (2008); Octopus 8, Softness in the Rock, Hope in Disappointing Times, Gertrude Contemporary Art Space, Melbourne (2008); Manila Bites, Green Papaya Art Space, Manila (2008). In 2012 Robinson partook in a the inbound residency program through Apexart, New York, and from 2005 – 2007 Robinson was a Gertrude Contemporary studio resident.

Natalie Ryan & Pip Ryan - The Ryan Sisters
The Ryan Sisters is a recent collaboration between sisters Pip and Natalie Ryan which will exist outside their own practices. They will explore ideas that are associated with humor, horror, death, and the absurd. Using a combination of spatial installation and intervention, they will reference these themes whilst playing with dualities that exist between the merging of their identities.
