Cloud Studies is the first solo exhibition in Australia by Forensic Architecture- a research agency comprised of architects- artists- filmmakers- journalists- scientists- lawyers and other specialists who undertake investigations into human rights abuses- state violence and environmental crimes around the world.Using the disciplinary tools of both architecture and forensics- Forensic Architecture have given rise to a new form of investigative practice that seeks to uncover- analyse and present evidence from the crimes of our recent past and consider the convergence of architecture- media- and violence.In Cloud Studies- Forensic Architecture contend with the interconnectedness of global atmospheres. The work brings together eight recent investigations under a single theme- toxic clouds. In a year of bushfire- pandemic and protest- where toxic clouds colonise the air we breathe and shape the way we connect- Cloud Studies presents evidence of perseverance and resistance.The exhibition is extended by related investigations and a publication- Responses to the Cloud- that explores the themes of Cloud Studies from a local context- with new writing by Joel Spring- Saba Bebawi- Jason De Santolo- Tom Melick- Nikki Lam- Thalia Anthony- Micaela Sahhar and curators Stella Rosa McDonald and Eleanor Zeichner.

The Korean Cultural Centre (KCC) presents an online lecture- 'Hangeul is Art' celebrating Hangeul Day (9 Oct) in Korea which commemorates the creation of the Korean alphabet- Hangeul by King Sejong the Great in 1446.One of the pioneers in the field of Hangeul design- Prof. Jae-Joon Han of Seoul Women's University will share his interpretation on the Hunminjeongeum Haerye (Explanations and Examples of the Korean Alphabet) based upon the information found in the book added with his imagination as an artist.Prof. Han has also invented 'CR Che'- a font that highlights Hangeul's simplicity while maximising its ability to expand by adding strokes to only 6 basic Hangeul letters (3 consonants- 3 vowels) to create all 24 letters of Hangeul- which then can be used to make syllables- words- phrases and even art works.While Hangeul has been recognised as an excellent writing system with its unique features- Prof. Han highly values its aesthetic- artistic and philosophical aspects that Hangeul is art as it is and has potential to near-limitless versatility.This lecture will be a rare opportunity to meet one of the most renowned Hangeul designers of Korea who will take you on a journey to appreciate the beauty of Hangeul and lead you to your own creation. Prof. Han emphasises that anyone can be a Hangeul designer and if you are unsure of how- he will show you the way.This online event does not require a previous knowledge of Korean language and will be livestreamed on the KCC's Facebook
