The Glasshouse team works with our local schools and education providers to cooperatively deliver a wide range of creative learning opportunities to our youth. We hope that these experiences inspire the development of creative adaptable minds - minds that will find solutions to the complex problems that we face, both now and into the future.

CENTRE OF THE CENTRE
MEL O’CALLAGHAN
Centre of the Centre is a major new commission
by Australian-born, Paris-based contemporary
artist Mel O’Callaghan that traces the origins of life
and its regenerative forces, iterated through video,
performance and sculpture. Centre of the Centre
plunges audiences 4km below the surface in the
Pacific Ocean to encounter fascinating lifeforms
in extreme environments, pushes the material
boundaries of glass, and reveals how breath can
create both calm and excitement through the depth
and rapidity of inhalation and exhalation.
Mel O’Callaghan’s Centre of the Centre was curated
and developed by Artspace and is touring nationally
with Museums & Galleries of NSW. Centre of the
Centre is co-commissioned by Le Confort Moderne,
Poitiers; Artspace, Sydney; and The University
of Queensland Art Museum, Brisbane. With
Commissioning Partners Andrew Cameron AM &
Cathy Cameron and Peter Wilson & James Emmett;
and Lead Supporter, Kronenberg Mais Wright. The
development and presentation of Centre of the
Centre is supported by the Fondation des Artistes;
the Australian Government through the Australia
Council for the Arts, its funding and advisory body;
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the US
National Science Foundation.
