Between Two Sites

Between Two Sites is an exhibition that aims to raise awareness of human-made imprints on natural environments and the impact on fragile ecosystems that support indigenous flora and fauna.

Curators, Madelynne Cornish and Sarah Lynch were passionate about embedding accessibility into the exhibition and ensuring that it is accessible to blind and low-vision communities. Descriptions of the artwork are available in audio and text formats on the exhibition website and via QR code on the didactics displayed beside the works.

Artists include Shannon Collis, Madelynne Cornish, Lesley Duxbury, Sarah Edwards, Amias Hanley, Sarah Lynch & Anne McCallum. All seven artists have undertaken an art residency at Bogong Centre for Sound Culture, situated in the foothills of the Alpine National Park. The curators selected the Yarra Ranges as a corresponding site where similar issues occur.

In this interview, Madelynne and Sarah chat with Chris Thompson from Behind the Scenes. The interview begins with an audio description of Madelynne’s work I Once Heard a Bird Sing and ends with an audio description of Sarah’s work Above the Snowline, Tryptich #2.
