Rachel O’Reilly is an artist, poet, critic, independent curator and researcher whose practice addresses relationships between art, situated cultural politics, and feminist political economy.

In conjunction with 'Material Place: Reconsidering Australian Landscapes', this solo presentation focuses on O’Reilly’s ongoing project 'The Gas Imaginary' which uses poetry, drawing, film and public lectures to address the install of unconventional gas (fracking) investments in settler colonial space.

Initiated in 2013, the project features works produced in collaboration with architectural group Pa.LaC.E (Valle Medina and Benjamin Reynolds), artist Rodrigo Hernandez, and in dialogue with Gooreng Gooreng elders and frontline activists.
