Working with the question of how an exhibition might be a book, Flat earth presents a diagrammatic flat plan of a proposal in space.
Stolon Press is a Sydney-based art and publishing collective whose work sits somewhere between art and book, image and text. Established in 2019 by writer Tom Melick and artist Simryn Gill, Stolon Press has published twenty books to date, regularly involving an extended network of collaborators and friends.
Conceived as a flattened ‘map’, Flat earth creates a shared space where artistic, linguistic and material practices converge. Artworks overlap across the galleries as a material gesture toward cohabitation and neighbourliness. Flat earth brings together work by longtime Stolon Press collaborators, including writer, translator, and anthropologist Elisa Taber, and Lebanese-born, Sydney-based artist Khaled Sabsabi. Considering the postponement by Monash University on March 25, 2025, the artists have chosen to show works from their practices and processes made from residual materials.
