While ‘Transfer’ alludes to the idea and action of moving, this exhibition focuses on the ambivalence of transitory processes and the complexities of existing in-between places.
Not solely perceived as a linear physical progression, Transferenvisages the undefined states and uncertain spaces that emanate from changing situations. Considering themes such as migration, nomadism and environmental changes, the exhibition questions the concepts of home and belonging in relation to our idea of place as an ultimate and definite prospect. Implicitly conceived in response to the ACP’s current state of transition, Transfer ultimately interrogates our abilities to adjust and locate ourselves within evolving contexts.
Assembling a diverse range of photographic forms by Katrin Koenning, Deb Mansfield, Jeroen Toirkens, Leila Jeffreys, Kurt Sorensen, Rachael Ireland and Stacy Mehrfar, Transfer proposes a kaleidoscope of images and emotions and evokes a rich visual experience of being in-between.
What makes a particular site 'home'? Is it where our roots begin, or is it fluid and changing, existing as an unfixed place of comfort? Curated by Talia Smith, Issue Five of Common Ground brings together diverse works and words by women artists and writers to determine if home really is where the heart is.

ellipse: a project between two points is a mapping of the rhythm and trajectory of conversations and creative exploration circulating between two people. Propelled by a searching spirit this project revolves around enquiry into binaries of substance, space and time. It is a philosophical and physical excavation into internal and external landscapes, and an encounter with the darkness and light that permeate these spaces.
