New Annual - Cavitation : Izabela Pluta

Enter a world of fractured maps, oceanic movement, and unstable systems of orientation with Izabela Pluta's Cavitation. This large-scale, multi-venue exhibition unfolds across The Lock-Up and the Canoe Pool, bringing together sculpture, photography, moving image, tapestry and sound to explore how tides, pressure, and migration shape our world and lives.

Presented across The Lock-Up and Newcastle's Canoe Pool, this large-scale project unfolds through two connected experiences: Cavitation, an exhibition at The Lock-Up, and Cavitation: Breathing Ocean, an interactive floating installation on the water. Together, they bring sculpture, photography, moving image, tapestry and sound into dialogue, exploring how tides, pressure, and migration shape our world and our lives.

Audiences can engage with the project through a program of free and ticketed artist talks, workshops, hand-on making sessions, poetry, breathwork and meditation presented across both sites. Follow the public art trail between Cavitation at The Lock-Up and Cavitation: Breathing Ocean at the Canoe Pool, encountering different ways of experiencing the work along the way.
