Alchemy is at once a medieval science, a speculative philosophy, a force that transforms matter in mysterious ways, and a metaphor for transformation. We look at how plants and trees become forces for symbolic and material transformation in Western art and culture.   

Featuring Gina Buenfeld-Murley, curator at Camden Art Centre; Janet Laurence, contemporary Australian artist; and hosted by Agatha Gothe-Snape, Powerhouse Artistic Associate and co-curator of Eucalyptusdom. 

Eucalyptusdom (11 October 2021 – 28 August 2022) is accompanied by a publication which expands upon the research and creative output of the exhibition, showcasing more than 20 creative practitioners commissioned to produce new works in dialogue with 500+ objects from the Powerhouse Collection. 

The series is programmed by Rebecca Gallo, produced by Ayeesha Ash and Cara Stewart, edited by Mara Schwerdtfeger, and sound designed by Jane Sheldon.
