The New Quotidian

The New Quotidian The New Quotidian Collective arts practices explore the impacts of consumerism in our local environment.

We focus on reclaiming the everyday to make decisions that are better for us, our community and our environment

...Shhh...

In this season of secrets and surprises we are almost bursting at the seams to let you know what we are cooking up.

Being the New Quotidian, our surprise may seem mundane, prosaic and everyday. But we cannot wait to show you.

For the past couple of weeks, we have worried about a number of deflated Santas during our suburban morning walk. Here’s hoping Santa will inflate like David Shrigley’s Inflatable Swan-things before Xmas Eve.

Merry xmas from the New Quotidian Collective

Last month we enjoyed participating in the inaugural Bribie Island Nature Festival. This festival showed the Island from its creative and natural side and goes far toward shedding the rather daggy image of this lovely spot across the Pumistone Passage. We also walked the beaches and had time to collect this neat little bundle of rubbish as a memento of our everyday practice. Thanks to our friends, Deb and Vin, for having us in your beautiful home.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Yarun, the Joondaburri people, whose ancestors have created and cared for the country for Millenia. We are grateful for every opportunity to visit your beautiful Island and acknowledge your Elders, past, present and emerging.

This work, Dog Gone Wayne, How Did the Ruskies and Arabs Get So Powerful? comments on global trade policy settings and local consumer behaviours that have made oil producing nations in the Middle East as well as Russia very wealthy. The work comments on domestic narratives of outrage arising when Russia invaded Ukraine and the history of conflict in the Middle East (sadly super-topical since this weekend and which may have led to a certain amount of Islamophobia in Australia) while Australian consumers fail to connect the role of their own local consumption in geopolitical battles. It also comments on the climate emergency and the changes we face to live in a carbon neutral world - and how giving up petroleum-based fossil fuels could solve both issues.

The Carrot Conspiracy is an independent cartoon project started in 2016. Near daily amateurish cartoons comment on topical issues, satirically exposing the way in which hegemony is reproduced in a capitalist consumer society. The works presented in our 2023 exhibition, Our Work Is Still Rubbish, represent a small collection from 2022.
