The large sculptural installation referenced an event on a small Australian territory off the coast of Western Australia, the Cocos Islands. In May of 2013, 28 life jackets washed ashore, presumed to have come from an unsuccessful attempt by asylum seekers to reach Australian soil. Recreated in marble, the jackets confront the tragic reality of those seeking asylum in Australia. The work was acquired by AGSA in 2014.

Its central work, Soloist, a hooded faceless figure, was seated cross-legged like Buddha amidst four CCTV cameras (Quartet 1-4) and a series of hanging hoodies (Chorus 1-7). This lone figure stood in for the fear and misunderstanding those deemed ‘outsiders’ in society inspire. Watched suspiciously by the cameras in what could have been a clothes shop (especially given it appeared at an art fair), the hunched body is strangely meditative.

(Single loop duration 8'54") The Alchemic Cycle is a single channel infinitely looped video work. It shows the artist engaged in a Sisyphean act of breaking down a marble block, baking the powder in a kiln and slaking it in water to reform into a visually identical yet substantially changed block. It explores this perpetual process that has no beginning, middle or end. http://www.alexseton.com/news daily 0.75 2022-04-19 http://www.alexseton.com/news/2014/12/2/summer-in-melbourne-mcclelland-gallery-sculpture-park-and-linden-centre-for-contemporary-art monthly 0.5 2014-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1417476823470-1QSVET8AQSG2GK3O497B/Seton+Emergency News - Summer in Melbourne: McClelland Gallery + Sculpture Park and Linden Centre for Contemporary Art http://www.alexseton.com/news/2014/12/17/solo-exhibition-in-paris-partnership-with-galerie-paris-beijing monthly 0.5 2014-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1418780502704-L7CADHCVM4A23RUHPWHD/galerie_paris_beijing News - Solo Exhibition in Paris: Partnership with Galerie Paris Beijing http://www.alexseton.com/news/2014/12/2/now-showing-sealed-section-at-artbank monthly 0.5 2014-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1417477710895-M2L8F9FT1U6O1EVRRFLO/Seton_SelfCensoring News - Now Showing: Sealed Section at Artbank http://www.alexseton.com/news/2015/6/1/last-resort-at-rockhampton-art-gallery-30-may-12-july-2015 monthly 0.5 2015-06-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1433119362978-ZG0R8EX3648YJGMOZGUQ/image-asset.jpeg News - 'LAST RESORT' AT ROCKHAMPTON ART GALLERY 30 MAY - 12 JULY 2015 http://www.alexseton.com/news/2016/6/1/announcement-of-the-prize-winners-of-the-competition-2015-contemporary-talents-international-competition-of-contemporary-art monthly 0.5 2017-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1500356467040-SCFJXG2B7A857KX88Y8T/Alex%2BSeton_June2017_Deluge%2Bin%2Ba%2BCup.jpg News - ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE PRIZE-WINNERS OF THE COMPETITION 2015 "CONTEMPORARY TALENTS" International competition of Contemporary Art http://www.alexseton.com/news/2016/6/1/shortlisted-artist-in-2016-fleurieu-art-prize-samstag-museum-of-art-adelaide monthly 0.5 2016-06-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1464763815687-4XEMY0G0PXP3L8VQIXJA/image-asset.jpeg News - Shortlisted artist in 2016 Fleurieu Art Prize, Samstag Museum of Art, Adelaide http://www.alexseton.com/news/2016/7/14/finalist-wynne-prize-2016-art-gallery-of-new-south-wales monthly 0.5 2016-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1468457892818-FMWP8OBLUL5N0CZHUON8/image-asset.jpeg News - Finalist, Wynne Prize 2016, Art Gallery of New South Wales http://www.alexseton.com/news/2016/12/7/2016-kochi-muziris-biennale monthly 0.5 2016-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1481082571769-IEEEVI3V704E3LJ0LYVY/AlexSetonTheJourney-20.jpg News - 2016 KOCHI-MUZIRIS BIENNALE Refuge, 2015.

The body of work that composes these exhibitions was shown across four galleries in 2014-15: Sullivan+Strumpf, Sydney; McClelland Regional Gallery & Sculpture Park; Linden Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne; and Rockhampton Regional Art Gallery.

The works do not offer simple readings of the complex and problematic issue of asylum seekers.

Upright life jackets stand for the individuals risking their lives at sea to reach our shores, each with their own story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1500602178480-ZWEZ26FO4Q87ZZTHLYAC/05+Alex+Seton_Sept+2014_Refoulement_Install_SullivanStrumpf_Sydney.jpg Refoulement & Last Resort Refoulement Sullivan + Strumpf, Sydney 16 September - 11 October 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1500602207743-420LESL549PRSNMM7ATR/06+Alex+Seton_Sept+2014_Last+Resort_SullivanStrumpf_Sydney.jpg Refoulement & Last Resort Last Resort 2014 Wombeyan marble, steel, theatre lights Two pieces: 180 x 110 x 110 cm and 135 x 80 x 80 cm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1500602600060-7IKHB7IPT3J9LERMRZ6Q/01+Alex+Seton_Nov+2014_Last+Resort_McClelland_install-01.jpg Refoulement & Last Resort Last Resort McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park 16 November 2014 - 18 February 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1500602651230-EVUJ53KA9ZMTI0DARSMZ/02+Alex+Seton_Nov+2014_Last+Resort_McClelland.jpg Refoulement & Last Resort https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1500602684872-WRKM1VEJOB8JV3FHQ5MA/03+Alex+Seton_Nov+2014_Last+Resort_McClelland_install-02.jpg Refoulement & Last Resort https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1445235348381-47ES61FZJR338HHKMBIU/Alex_Seton-McClelland-2015-001.jpg Refoulement & Last Resort - Last Resort (touring) McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park, Linden Centre for Contemporary Art and Rockhampton Art Gallery, 2014 - 2015 This touring exhibition seeks to explore the human cost of Australia’s current policies related to asylum seekers. It throws attention to our own lives of privilege and peaceful comfort, asking us to reflect on the unseen effects of this comfortable existence. Using familiar objects such as pool toys, rubber dingys, lifejackets and paddles, Last Resort presents as unnervingly optimistic front that starts to fray upon closer inspection and consideration - this idyllic and seemingly benevolent existence has a hard and unyielding side. An immersive sound installation titled Odyessy, recreates the harrowing sounds of being caught in a heavy storm at sea. A single globe hanging in the centre of the room provides the only visual focus for the audience to gather together and listen to the tumult, taking the viewer into an unforgiving ocean, far from the pool toys and leisure aids on show outside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1500602920096-758HN82ZN2Z66DVLUG29/Alex+Seton_23.jpg Refoulement & Last Resort Last Resort Linden Centre for Contemporary Art 6 January - 22 February 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1500603022613-JNOC21279207LA20EP3H/02+Alex+Seton_Jan+2015_Life+Vest+M-Emergency_Linden.jpg Refoulement & Last Resort https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1500603338623-R1Z06ISDK2EHVDWNFEKB/Alex+Seton_Jan2015_Last+Resort_Linden_install%2B01.jpg Refoulement & Last Resort https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1500603716596-5HZ1UU2ADM1ZDLCI0LO2/Alex+Seton_Jan2015_Odyssey_Linden_install.jpg Refoulement & Last Resort Odyssey 2014 5.1 surround sound stereo, laptop mixer, single light bulb Infinite soundscape The immersive sound installation Odyssey is a perpetually evolving computerised soundscape recreating the harrowing sounds of being caught in a heavy storm at sea.

These new works seek to remind the viewer that behind this often highly politicised issue there are individual lives being risked everyday, and that at its core, seeking asylum is about the fundamental right to aspire to a better life. The Journey unpicks the universal elements of the story of aspiration employing narrative techniques. The idea of the quest or journey has long been embodied in the structure of storytelling traditions, as basic and fundamental themes that express the commonality of the human experience. At the heart of metaphor of the hero's journey are a series of trials and tribulations that must be endured to reach an end goal. This exhibition is a critical contemplation of this universal narrative, expressed in a carefully staged sequence of carved marble sculptures and installations. The Journey is Seton's first look at these issues on a universal level, and highlights the struggles which are common to all people, and all nations.

The work proposes that under 'Operation Sovereign Borders' Australia renders the current international refugee crisis as 'someone else's problem'. In denying the rights of these individuals Australia ignores it's obligations to International treaties on Human Rights. The labelling of asylum seekers as illegals is not only false, but dehumanizes the issue and compounds the problem of alienation. The work seeks to remind us how lucky we few are to enjoy lives of peaceful opportunity in our home land. The paddle, a symbol of assistance, asks how we can ignore those that are asking for our help, when we have so much to share? This new work continues to develop themes presented in Seton's past exhibitions by reminding the viewer that behind this highly politicized issue there are individual lives being risked, and that seeking asylum is about the fundamental right to aspire to a better life.

From carved marble effigies these mixed media pieces, the works take a gentle sardonic sci-fi look at expressions of a nervous world in prognostication, proselytizing, punditry and doomsayers. Central in the the body of work is 'The Prophet'; a formal portrait bust of the helmet of a hazmat suit, and the ‘Effigy Series’ a factory produced generic marble religious statue reworked for the western religious market, deconstructed and carved by the artist to reveal its bleached and hollowed insides . This narrative driven body of work ultimately reflects upon a changing world with an optimism in the resourcefulness of human nature.

The ‘Pygmalion effect’ is the phenomenon in which higher expectations lead to an increase in performance. Its inverse is the ‘Golem effect’, by which low expectations lead to a decrease in performance. Both effects are forms of a self-fulfilling prophecy; both observable effects at play in a world divided by the privilege of circumstance. Using these themes, Seton replaces components of antique and modern bentwood chairs with his familiar medium of marble and digitally printed plastic proxies. The result is a series of hybrids in which the mass-produced melds with the hand made. ~ Chloé Wolifson Read Noelle Faulkner’s Essay Here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1500958110297-CN7WCMB4O8T71QEW0FXR/Alex+Seton+_Oct+2016_Pygmalion+_+Installation+_+Sullivan%2BStrumof%2BSingapore-01.jpg Pygmalion Pygmalion 28 October - 30 November 2016 Sullivan+Strumpf, Singapore Installation view In Roman mythology, Pygmalion was a sculptor who fell in love with a statue he had carved.

Curator Sudarshan Shetty says of the Biennale's theme Forming in the pupil of an eye: Forming in the pupil of an eye is not an image of one reality but a reflection of multiple realities and of multiple possibilities in time. It does not question notions of reality, but instead layers many. As its own process, Forming in the pupil of an eye comes from that junction of the physiological with the conceptual. It is an acknowledgement that there is something essential in the way we look at the world, that it is multiple in nature. Forming in the pupil of an eye brings that multiplicity of experience together within the space of Kochi-Muziris Biennale and perhaps to spill over into the world at large. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1500358730328-E1PT5YMA967QEI71M7FJ/01+Alex+Seton_2016_Refuge_Kochi%2BMuziris%2BBiennale.jpg Kochi-Muziris Biennale - 2016 Kochi-Muziris Biennale Alex Seton was honoured to be included in the 2016 Kochi-Muziris Biennale in Fort Kochi, India.

Alternatively it can take on a more sinister tone as a place deserted for those who have survived a perilous sea journey only to be marooned, stateless, detained, looking to the horizon for help. In Europe today, the mass movement of refugees and asylum seekers displaced by war and poverty is history repeated. Where once immigrants were embraced as a means to drive the health and economy of nations, today we turn inwards as the ideology of walls and fences become potent political capital. Seton transforms and manipulates his marble sculptures into emphatic motifs and metaphors of these current socio-political themes and narratives.

The work premiered at Linden Centre for Contemporary Art as part of Last Resort. A single globe hanging in the centre of the room provided the only visual focus for the audience to gather together and listen to the tumult. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1498444500053-V4B86M71WPDV1BCW7A6M/02+Alex+Seton_Feb2017_The+Island_Newcastle+Art+Gallery.jpg The Island https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1498444522407-VK7ZLT5BS6VZX954P1GP/03+Alex+Seton_Feb2017_Someone+died+trying+to+have+a+life+like+mine+2014_Newcastle+Art+Gallery.jpg The Island Someone died trying to have a life like mine 2013 Wombeyan marble, nylon webbing dimensions variable https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1498444546903-37B1B64UMKKV7SRU9DXY/04+Alex+Seton_Feb2017_The+Island_Newcastle+Art+Gallery.jpg The Island https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1498444566538-LNWV1X5MJHJCHCCZUM3O/05+Alex+Seton_Feb2017_The+Island_Newcastle+Art+Gallery.jpg The Island https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1498444668526-EB530ZM426W9DCGMK0SR/09+Alex+Seton_Feb2017_Seeking+Safe+Harbour+2015_Newcastle+Art+Gallery.jpg The Island Seeking Safe Harbour 2015 Bianco Carrara marble, rope 101.0 x 101.0 x 65.0cm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1498444641342-9RWH4XVRE3JASPM1PUFC/08+Alex+Seton_Feb2017_Folded+Zodiak_Someone+Else%27s+Problem_Life+Vest.jpg The Island https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1498444618476-UFU4VV7RH3O9H5YGIKNX/07+Alex+Seton_Feb2017_Last+Resort+2014_Newcastle+Art+Gallery.jpg The Island Last Resort 2014 Wombeyan marble dimensions variable https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1498444591468-M0D1WXEET1CQ1D71OBDV/06+Alex+Seton_Feb2017_The+Island_Newcastle+Art+Gallery.jpg The Island https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1498444698419-6Q9VJI0RT4XTDKBDNION/10+Alex+Seton_Feb2017_Paper+Armada+2015_Newcastle+Art+Gallery.jpg The Island Paper Armada 2015 Bianco Carrara marble dimensions variable https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1498444745735-Q7KUKLCA3II5D2WGQC1E/12+Alex+Seton_Feb2017_Oilstone+04_Saturated+2016_Newcastle+Art+Gallery.jpg The Island Oilstone 04_Saturated 2016 Bianco Carrara marble, engine oil, glass tank 47 x 98 x 24cm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1498444793972-8JFWHG0JGKYY911KTPY8/14+Alex+Seton_Feb2017_Oilstone+04_Saturated+2016_Newcastle+Art+Gallery2.jpg The Island http://www.alexseton.com/2017-monument daily 0.75 2021-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1498442242071-4V8AU5Y3U26RD2811GT8/Alex+Seton_May+2017_Monument+install+01.jpg Monument The Monobloc Throne 2017 Bianca Carrara 101 x 54 x 54 cm Sometimes the Dead are More Alive than the Living 2017 Wombeyan marble, wool rugs and acrylic paint 163 x 120 x 115 cm Photography: Laura Moore   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1498442242071-4V8AU5Y3U26RD2811GT8/Alex+Seton_May+2017_Monument+install+01.jpg Monument The Monobloc Throne 2017 Bianca Carrara 101 x 54 x 54 cm Sometimes the Dead are More Alive than the Living 2017 Wombeyan marble, wool rugs and acrylic paint 163 x 120 x 115 cm Photography: Laura Moore   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1498442268500-B3D70J704SHTM0HMXNTU/Alex+Seton_May+2017_Monument+install+02.jpg Monument Monument 2017 installation view, Sullivan + Strumpf, Sydney https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1498442731596-V7HKV3TAV8HSZQDL1R7Z/Alex+Seton_May2017_Left+Turn+at+Alberquerque+%28Still%29_small.jpg Monument Monument Sullivan + Strumpf, Sydney 11 - 27 May 2017 While stone monuments have traditionally signified an inviolable and solemn truth rendered in an eternal medium, Alex Seton seeks to turn these conceptions on their head with a new suite of works which monumentalise the everyday and twist reality. Taking as its starting point Warhol’s declaration that all monuments glorify their maker, the exhibition MONUMENT deconstructs notions of monumentality, vanitas and memento mori via personal explorations of transience and the finite. Continuing themes that Seton has begun to explore in recent years, MONUMENT brings temporal and existential truths into question without taking itself too seriously – combining references to popular culture and personal experience with a deep knowledge of his craft and its history.

These constrained and condensed bricks of fabric, with their interwoven and baroque folds, are arranged on six recycled nylon palettes. Each pallet is constrained to a cubic volume composed of three layers of an alternating chiral pattern, reminiscent of masonry stacking. The simple lines of the black geometric frames further articulate the block volumes, giving contrast and focus to the individual bales. Each bale speaks to the interconnectedness of our world, the complex webs of needs and concerns, war and trade that drive us. In spending many hours meticulously carving these flocked effigies, Seton slows the pace of these entwined systems, pausing to consider their momentous impact on our environment, culture, economy, and the developing nations that bear the brunt of our insatiable appetite. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1561615575458-QJ3GVWHP2S2VJU8YWRNM/Alex+Seton_Cargo_2018_Installation_001.jpg Cargo Cargo Sullivan+Strumpf, Sydney 18 September - 20 October, 2018 Cargo presents a series of clothing bales, of the kind found in the second-hand industry, carved in marble and rendered alongside abstracted volumes of steel.

An exhibition of new work ‘The Great Escape’ uses the landscape and the material of the Wombeyan Caves and quarry as its central tenet. In a part comic-tragic tribute to the home of the material that sparked a lifetime’s fascination with marble carving and sculpture, Seton lays out recreations of places and moments from his obscure childhood memories. With an inquisitive and critical approach to his medium, its history and tradition at large, this show marks the first major solo showing of Seton’s work in Goulburn, close to his childhood home of Taralga. ‘Anything Will Bounce If You Throw It Hard Enough’ (2020).

At the centre of the exhibition is The Ghost of Wombeyan, a carving of a life-sized shrouded figure in repose and swathed in cloth. Created from marble from Wombeyan Caves, where the artist grew up, the figure lies in requiem to the landscape and its stories. Upstairs, smaller works carved from Wombeyan marble record impressions of Seton’s early recollections: a favourite toy, Bun Bun the rabbit; four pillows in a row, for four sleeping brothers; The Sawdust Short Drop Throne, a wry throwback to the sawdust toilet used as a child; and Dad, I dug a hole!, a collection of mattocks used for tilling and shaping the earth, and planting trees. Accompanying Seton’s sculptures, a series of photographs of the quarry capture how, like memory, the landscape has been altered and reconstituted over time. The title of each work is replete with loss, such as The Vanishing and A History of Forgetting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b290fde4b006144b919002/1607061075274-3E78AWI54J4ZQLQAIFF4/Alex+Seton_Meet+Me+Under+the+Dome_2020-009.jpg Meet Me Under the Dome - Meet Me Under the Dome 26 November - 23 December Sullivan+Strumpf, Sydney Taking its name from a famous etching of Sydney’s Garden Palace destroyed by fire in September 1882, the show recalls a former common meeting place that no longer exists.

For the artist, growing up in Australia is to be aware of the blank pages in our history books. Centred on the idiosyncratic memories of his own childhood growing up in rural NSW, the show is a deeply personal elegy to the place of his upbringing that grapples with the passing of time and the importance of bringing our stories to the fore. Incorporating photography, video work and new marble carvings alongside an original musical work, the solo exhibition captures Seton’s deep love of his childhood landscape and presents poignant and often humorous reflections on the fallibility of memory.

Created specially for the cells of The Lock-Up, Seton presents a series of chandeliers in tribute to those made by Newcastle’s discontinued Leonora Glassworks. Each piece riffs upon chandeliers that were ubiquitous in the entranceways of clubs and RSLs of post- World War II Australia. The title of the show refers to Kurt Vonnegut’s singular anti-war novel about the fire bombing of Dresden that dislocates linear time. The founders of the Leonora glassworks started out making aircraft bomb-sights, but flourished when they moved into art glass. This exhibition also reflects what writer Mark Twain observed about Australian history, “it does not read like history, but like the most beautiful lies”. There is a tragedy to a country that struggles with the more violent aspects of its history when they are annealed into every moment, both light and dark.
