The work of Nicholas Mangan is featured in the exhibition “Still Life”, on view until November 6th at Buxton Contemporary –located at the University of Melbourne’s art school, the Victorian College of the Arts.

In this group show, imagination and empirical observation unite in contemplation of life’s interconnectedness. Australian artist Nicholas Mangan participates with “Termite Economies: Phase 2 #1” (2019), a work that represents a digital rendered termite hive from the project Termite Economies Phase 2, in which he researched the sophisticated chemical communication systems of termites: eusociality, pheromonal communication, building behavior, biomimicry, superorganism and swarm intelligence.
