UNKEMPT COGNITION
Canberra Contemporary Artspace
12 July - 14 September 2024

Unkempt Cognition is Ella Barclay’s first Kamberri/Canberra institutional solo exhibition and presents new work developed whilst on residency at ZK/U - Centre for Art and Urbanistics, Berlin, in 2024. Comprising a series of messy and playful luminous installations and photography, Unkempt Cognition explores common human experiences within connected daily life. From the speculative look and feel of the spatial techno-imaginary, to the lived experience of doom-scroll bed-rotting our way through a landscape of escalating catastrophes and clumsy automation.
