Carolyn Young Inhabiting the Woodlands; and ACO Virtual. Building on Carolyn Young's award-winning Grassy Woodlands series, this exhibition re-imagines 19th century human experience in light of Australian mammals that have become vulnerable or extinct. Young explores the question of who inhabits the woodlands across time through still life photographs of mammals, plants, insects and artefacts. It is inspired by the work of ecologists. ACO Virtual will transform the Gallery and features large scale footage of orchestral performances with the sound of each musician coming from their own individual projection. Audiences will be surrounded with a touch-screen 'music stand' allowing them to spotlight sounds and visuals, highlighting musicians, or a section of players. The score streams below each projection, and smartphone application provides information about the music, musicians and instruments. There will be music by Grieg, Bach, Smalley and Piazzolla.
