Made you look! Paintings by Geoff Wallis

- Description: FRI 1 DEC - FRI 9 FEB 2023 Ballarat artist Geoff Wallis presents his recent series of paintings in the exhibition, Made You Look! Informed by his extensive knowledge of art history and contemporary art issues and ideas, the subject of Wallis’ paintings is art itself. For Wallis, text is used as a kind of meta-commentary, to invite or provoke direct responses from his audience about interpretation and value judgement and broader issues surrounding authenticity, reality, and purity as they pertain to art. Beyond its semantic role, text also plays an important syntactical or formal part in the paintings’ aesthetic - one in which chance, process and facture all figure prominently. Geoff Wallis was formerly an academic, lecturing in Art History at Federation University, Ballarat, and has curated significant exhibitions and written extensively on art and artists. This exhibition was opened by Ola Wallis, the artist’s granddaughter, and the artist, on Fri 1 Dec @ 6.30pm.

EM I Body : works by Indonesian Women Artists

- Description: WED 14 SEP – FRI 25 NOV 2022 Showcasing select work by seven contemporary Indonesian women artists, EM I BODY uncovers personal stories and unspoken truths while revealing common states of pride, tenacity and personal endurance. Here, an oversized canvas and stilled imposing woman’s gaze, contrasts with the blurred silhouette and video of a woman behind glass painting herself in and out of the picture. Conversely, depictions of naively painted distorted figures act to reclaim the artist’s body and sexuality, while works created from carbon copies, and from human hair, symbolise the act of protection and nurturing between mother and child. Featuring Audya Amalia, Ayurika, Dita Gambiro, Erika Ernawan, I Gusti Ayu Kadek Murniasih (Murni), Theresia Agustina Sitompul (Tere) and Restu Ratnaningtyas, artists present visually compelling work in diverse media examining women’s familial and personal relationships, sexuality, identity, nostalgia and memory. This unique exhibition is presented in partnership with Project Eleven, a philanthropic initiative that supports the work of contemporary artists, with a focus on cutting-edge contemporary art and cross-cultural collaboration. This exhibition was opened by Konfir Kabo, Founder, Project Eleven, with remarks by Asoc. Prof Richard Chew, on Fri 9 Sep.

Fiona Crawford - When you go looking for me, I am not there
- Authors: Crawford, Fiona
- Date: 2021
- Type: Text , Artwork , Visual art work
- Full Text: false
- Description: Following residencies in Assisi, Italy in 2016 and 2019, inspired by the beauty and intrigue surrounding the medieval embroidery tradition of ‘Punto Assisi’ still practised today, Fiona Crawford’s contemporary textiles subvert and transgress conventions and reinterpret the ubiquitous subject of ‘women’s work’ Derived from the exterior of medieval San Rufino Cathedral, Punto Assisi’s highly stylised pattern and form is unique - the subject matter empty of detail, with the outlined negative space seeming to echo the absence of information and who the female artisans were. Invisible and indispensable, the names and faces of the female makers were rarely documented, existing within the dominant male hegemonic ideologies of the time, undervalued and seen as only undertaking 'women’s work'. Using vintage linen and thread, the combination of traditional and contemporary imagery, text, and the concept of drawing with thread, Fiona Crawford’s work investigates the notion of absence and at the same time honours the unknown female makers of this now highly prized and ancient art. This exhibition constitutes the visual outcomes emerging from a practice-led Masters research project at the School of Arts, Federation University, Australia. Fiona Crawford is supported by an Australian Research Training Program (RTP) Fee Offset Scholarship through Federation University. 45-minute session times available via Eventbrite. Please wear a mask and comply with 1.5m social distancing rules.

Invisible and indispensable, the names and faces of the female makers were rarely documented, existing within the dominant male hegemonic ideologies of the time, undervalued and seen as only undertaking 'women’s work'. Using vintage linen and thread, the combination of traditional and contemporary imagery, text, and the concept of drawing with thread, Fiona Crawford’s work investigates the notion of absence and at the same time honours the unknown female makers of this now highly prized and ancient art. This exhibition constitutes the visual outcomes emerging from a practice-led Masters research project at the School of Arts, Federation University, Australia. Fiona Crawford is supported by an Australian Research Training Program (RTP) Fee Offset Scholarship through Federation University. 45-minute session times available via Eventbrite. Please wear a mask and comply with 1.5m social distancing rules.

Shelter from the storm
- Authors: Griffin, Tony
- Date: 2021
- Type: Text , Artwork , Visual art work
- Full Text: false
- 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.

Twice is lucky, 3 times a charm
- Authors: Forbes, Rodney
- Date: 2021
- Type: Text , Artwork , Visual art work
- Full Text: false
- Description: Exhibition dates: 3 August-13 November 2021 Twice is Lucky, 3 Times a Charm’ is Rodney Forbes’ 20th solo exhibition with Australian Galleries. Created during the COVID-19 pandemic, these vibrant paintings explore fortune, transformation and love. This exhibition features ‘A Submariner Dreams of Home’, winner of the 2020 Maritime Art Prize. Rodney Forbes’ paintings address deeply poignant subject matter through dreamlike and surreal imagery. Figures and objects float against his trademark palette of bright, luminous colours, drawing the viewer in to explore a rich narrative. “Although the subject matter of Forbes’ paintings deals with aspects of the human condition, his paintings contain a degree of humour without which his intensity of vision would degenerate into affected angst. It is his ability to see beneath the surface of human relationships and the domestic environment and then to express that vision with warmth and humour that elevates his work from the drily philosophical or the contrived.” – David Thorp – artist and curator, Director, South London Gallery 1992-2001, Turner Prize Judge This exhibition celebrates Rodney Forbes’ unique style of storytelling and his ability to portray wonder, adventure and the unforeseen through a highly distinctive painting style.

- Authors: Murray, Lauren
- Date: 2020
- Type: Text , Visual art work
- Full Text: false
- Description: Images recording travel have been part of numerous cultural traditions enabling extraordinary discoveries and providing historical documents of great beauty used for millennia across many cultures. Lauren Murray’s work and research explores a visual journey within an observed environment through "fourteen layers of glass" that includes the car window, the lens of the camera, the lens of her glasses and the surface of her iPad - the nature of light, time and distance and ongoing changes to the climate of particular interest to her. Utilising photography, drawing, digital and analogue media, Murray presents 16 digitally augmented photographs and a 9.6 metre story map - beautiful yet uncannily prescient images and visual narratives of place, time and season. This exhibition constitutes the visual outcomes emerging from a practice-led Masters research project at the School of Arts, Federation University, Australia. Lauren Murray is supported by an Australian Research Training Program (RTP) Fee Offset Scholarship through Federation University Australia.
