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.
