Since our launch in 2018, Cement Fondu has proudly partnered annually with Studio A, supporting their artists to create newly commissioned installations. In 2024, we’re thrilled to present Studio A artist Meagan Pelham in our Project Space alongside main gallery exhibition, TMI (Too Much Information).
In this Project Space, encounter an immersive art installation conceived by Studio A’s Meagan Pelham, which invites participants into an exploration of a fictitious social media platform. Pelham has imagined an alternative virtual space that is safe and affirmative, that audiences are invited to virtually inhabit.
Pelham is the ultimate romantic, someone who creates and lives by a philosophy of true love. The imagery in her artworks invites audiences to see the world through rose-coloured glasses and to embrace moments of beauty that surround us.
Meagan Pelham is a multidisciplinary artist, practising in painting, poetry, drawing and performance. Her handwritten poetry practice is expressive and intimate, a prophecy of beautiful things and moments manifested on paper. She was recently selected as a finalist for the 2022 Archibald Prize, AGNSW, with her portrait Romance is LOVE, depicting friend and collaborator Anna Plunkett of the Australian fashion label Romance was Born.
Pelham is an artist with Studio A, a supported studio that provides access to professional pathways and opportunities for artists living with disability.
