Over teamLab

teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective. Their collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world. Through art, the interdisciplinary group of specialists, including artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, and architects, aims to explore the relationship between the self and the world, and new forms of perception.

In order to understand the world around them, people separate it into independent entities with perceived boundaries between them. teamLab seeks to transcend these boundaries in our perceptions of the world, of the relationship between the self and the world, and of the continuity of time. Everything exists in a long, fragile yet miraculous, borderless continuity.

teamLab’s works are in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra;  Amos Rex, Helsinki; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, Istanbul; and Asia Society Museum, New York, among others.

Super Nature

Humans are indivisible from nature – we are dependent on its systems and rhythms, and subject to its whims. Artists have long engaged with nature as a place where we seek solace and meaning.

This exhibition from the Art Gallery’s collection charts the adventure of human immersion in nature. Across four spaces, it explores places where humans and nature interact and intertwine, the role of gardens as memorials, the wild nature that lives alongside (and sometimes within) us, and the cultivation of nature for survival and sustenance.

Super Nature includes collection favourites, such as teamLab’s computer-generated interactive animation Flowers and people – gold 2015, where flowers gradually bud, blossom, grow and decay on digital screens; Grayson Perry’s monumental woodcut Animal spirit 2016, which skewers the pretentions of modern commerce; and Kathy Temin’s My monument: black garden 2010–11, a towering installation of organic forms in synthetic fur.
Several new acquisitions will also be shown for the first time, including Wendy Stavrianos’s Celebration of the palms, Darwin 1976–78, a major drawing made in response to the intense natural forces unleashed by Cyclone Tracy, and four brilliantly coloured paintings by Butcher Cherel Janangoo that tell of the medicinal properties of bush foods, their significance as markers of seasonal change, and their cultural significance to Gooniyandi people.
