CLARE MILLEDGE
Police Camp: Passive Recreation Area
11 April – 9 May 2020

STATION | SYDNEY

Clare Milledge’s research-driven and process-based practice reconsiders our relationship to objects, materials, nature and language.

Police Camp: Passive Recreation Area places an emphasis on ecological communities and forest protest sites. The exhibition title refers to an area in the Terania Creek basin in the Northern Rivers of NSW, the historical site of a famous protest camp in the late 1970s to preserve the rainforest basin from logging. The artist’s parents, along with their friends and colleagues, were involved in the protest, and the area was known colloquially to Milledge and her childhood friends as the ‘police camp’. The region was recently burnt in the Mount Nardi bushfires of late 2019–early 2020.
