SPACED: Circular Economies | House of Natural Fibre
October 7, 2024 – November 17, 2024
Presented by SPACED in partnership with PICA
Circular Economies is a series of socially-engaged residencies in regional Western Australian communities over 2024-25, culminating in an exhibition at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts in 2026. The five artists and groups, House of Natural Fiber, Susan Hauri-Downing and Tarsh Bates, Loren Kronemyer, Mary Mattingly, and Ilona McGuire will respond to new contexts and communities to consider the ebb and flow of resources, both tangible and intangible, between regional and metropolitan communities and consider how communities are leading, resisting, and forging new solutions to finite resources.

About the Artist:
The House of Natural Fiber (HONF) Foundation is a creative community of artists, DJs, physicists, hackers, architects, scientists, makers, activists, expert users, and designers who test the possibilities of media art to address critical social issues through science and technology while pushing the boundaries of art and individual authorship.
M. Haryo Hutomo lives and works between Indonesia and Switzerland, graduated from arts pedagogic (B.Ed) State University of Jakarta. He has an interdisciplinary practice with a focus on how art engages with the praxis of life and explores the interaction between art, science, politics and human relation in both practical and aesthetic ways.
Irene Agrivina is a technologist and activist working closely with arts, science and technology that focuses on the application and practical use in daily life of collaborative, cross-disciplinary and technological actions responding to social, cultural and environmental challenges.
This project is presented as part of Circular Economies, a program of residencies in regional Western Australia presented by SPACED in partnership with Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts. SPACED: Circular Economies is supported by Creative Australia and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries.
