- Description: 15 APR - 28 MAY 2021 [extended until 4 June 2021] Through an exhaustive description of the everyday and often overlooked objects in one suburban home in the early part of the twenty first century, as a form of archaeology of its recent past and present, Tony Griffin’s research considers how broader entanglements are hidden in our everyday through the proliferation of our things. Here, by exploring theories of the mutual dependency between humans and things, Griffin examines how his paintings provide agency in discerning those relationships and act as a means to understand our world in this age of anxiety. This exhibition constitutes the visual outcomes emerging from a practice-led Doctoral research project at the School of Arts, Federation University Australia. Tony Griffin’s is supported by an Australian Research Training Program (RTP) Fee Offset Scholarship through Federation University.

The Assumed Divide

- Description: Exhibition at the Post Office Gallery, Federation University Australia, 8th-18th November 2017. The Assumed Divide is an exhibition of small, figurative sculpture works, created in response to an exploration of gender, feminism and relationships. Sylvia Hollis works with the nude human figure for its ability to expose the commonality of physical existence. Wary of the temptation to objectify the body, her representations keenly express a connection to the psychological states of the characters. In this series, depictions of torn, hollowed or disintegrated flesh suggest the sometimes painful or destructive process of negotiating intimacy between self and other. Drawn from personal experience, further informed by study in gender and feminism, this body of work examines the division created by assuming a categorical difference between men and women. Sylvia’s works have been described as confronting and graphic, as well as receiving praise for their realism and sensitivity. They offer insight into the interactions and perspective of a millennial woman who battles internalised sexism and a history of unequal relationships. Resoundingly, this exhibition affirms the right to claim and maintain autonomy, highlighting how this may be undermined by attempts to satisfy stereotypical requirements of a relationship. Reverting to ingrained binary stereotypes reduces our potential to understand the myriad spectrums of identity, allowing the decidedly unfair battle of the sexes to continue.

Traces of the female self

- Description: 22nd November-7th December 2019, Post Office Gallery, Federation University Australia, Ballarat. In Georgia Janetzki's research she explores how self-portraiture can be an embodied methodology and starting point for an investigation that goes beyond oneself: her experimental self-portraiture addressing the personal and by doing so, incorporating a wider community of female artists. Examining how women have always been present as artists but omitted from the canon of Western art history, Janetzki investigates this disconnect and at the same time poses the question, why is the canon also nothing like us. To assist her research, working as a modern-day flaneuse, Janetzki walked through art galleries and museums, observing the gender balance within our public institutions, travelling between home and university using the train as a studio for making images as well as provide safe passage. This exhibition constitutes the visual outcomes emerging from a practice-led Masters research project at the School of Arts, Federation University Australia. Georgia Janetzki is supported by an Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) Fee-Offset Scholarship through Federation University Australia.
