MATERIAL MEASURE - Between 2020 and 2021, The Corridor Project curated CORRIDOR AIR + PD Lab, a residency program grounded in environmental inquiry and deep engagement with the natural landscape at The Corridor Project.

The program unfolded as a living laboratory: 18 professional development digital talks and 12 artist-in-residency opportunities supporting 12 regional artists. Artists, writers and curators worked in close conversation, expanding practice through shared research and exchange. Core thematic frameworks included the Galari, Anthropogenic Biomes, Geomorphology, and Herbarium—each offering a lens through which land, culture and ecological systems were explored.

Orange Regional Gallery partnered with The Corridor Project throughout the residency and selection process. From the cohort, five artists were selected to present an exhibition at Orange Regional Gallery, curated by Lucy Stranger. The exhibition extended and refined the ideas seeded during the CORRIDOR AIR + PD Lab, translating residency research into a public-facing outcome.

In 2022, The Corridor Project launched the CORRIDOR Exhibition Series in partnership with the Argyle Commercial Inn Store and Argyle Inn, curating three exhibitions featuring seven artists in the regional town of Taralga. Initiated by Phoebe Cowdery, the partnership was supported by the RAF – Tourism Accelerator and Galah Press, exploring new models for activating tourism through arts and culture.

Presented throughout 2023, the exhibitions reimagined non-traditional gallery spaces, offering artists opportunities to present new work while engaging fresh audiences and contributing to cultural-led tourism in the region.

STAR PICKET Exhibition was a cross cultural collaboration involving 12 central west visual artists, curated by Indigenous and non-Indigenous art workers, leading to an exhibition at Orange Regional Art Gallery February-April, 2018.

The artists investigated Indigenous night sky stories and mapping, visiting locations in the Central West NSW, Lake Mungo NSW and Cape York, leading to inter-arts interpretations of Indigenous seasonal farming practices, mythology and travel pathways based upon this traditional

knowledge.

Artists investigated these aspects in a series of professional development workshops and field trips located in both the Central West NSW and Lake Mungo. Interpretations of this material were discussed and researched between the artists and key industry experts. Artists included

Genevieve Carroll, Phoebe Cowdery, John Daly, Jaq Davies, Rebecca Dowling, Virginia Hilyard, Ken Hutchinson, Aleshia Lonsdale, Bill Moseley, Nyree Reynolds, Irene Ridgeway, Vicki Skarratt, Heather

Vallance and Lee Wynyard. The final exhibition was curated by Phoebe Cowdery and Aleshia Lonsdale.
