A kinship of creatures

- Description: 7th-17th June 2017 Máirín Ní Shíocháin’s practice reflects a lifelong affinity with non-human animals. Her observation of animals and birds in natural habitats in and around Ballarat and district was the foundation for this research. The project focused on the recognition of kinship between humans and other animals and resulted in this body of work which contributes to the current discourse around animals in contemporary art. Consistent with her past practice, the works are all paper-based, demonstrating the versatility of this medium. This exhibition represents the culmination of Ní Shíocháin’s practice-led PhD research at the Arts Academy, Faculty of Education and Arts, Federation University Australia.

A Memory : The Jan Feder Memorial Ceramics Collection
- Date: 2015
- Type: Text , Visual art work
- Full Text: false
- Description: A collection of ceramics in honour of a former student will be exhibited at Federation University Australia’s Gippsland Campus. The Jan Feder Memorial Collection was chosen by former ceramics lecturer Dr Owen Rye and will be exhibited at the Switchback Gallery from 20 May until 9 July, 2015 Many of these pieces are works of national and international significance and would be highly sought after by museums and galleries in Australia and overseas. The exhibition will be opened by Dr Rye at 5.00 pm on Wednesday, 20 May, 2015 in the presence of Dr Harry Ballis, Campus Director, and Peter Pilven, well known ceramic artist and Head of the Arts Academy. In 1980 students at the then Gippsland Institute of Advanced Education raised a small sum of money to buy a few small ceramic pieces to form the basis of a study collection. They did this in memory of student Jan Feder, who died tragically that year. Beginning with a piece by the noted Australian potter Victor Greenaway, the collection grew over the next decade to become a collection of 63 major works by some of the world’s leading ceramic artists. The collection was packed away in a clay shed and forgotten altogether until director Tony Hanning, along with two technical assistants Russell Snelton and Neale Stratford, rediscovered the collection. When they unpacked the work they realised that it was a snapshot of world ceramics from the eighties and nineties, with major works by leading British, American and Japanese artists, as well as the cream of Australian ceramic artists.

- Description: 24th August-20th October 2019. In partnership with the Ballarat International FOTO Biennale (BIFB'19), the School of Arts Post Office Gallery presents 'Soldiers’, a selection of works from the compelling series created by Adi Nes, one of Israel’s leading contemporary photographers. Captured between 1994 and 2000, Nes’s series focuses on both the intermediary moments between privacy and intimacy within the rigid framework of military life, and the loss of innocence within this highly masculine world. Considered one of the most important series of works in contemporary Israeli photography, Nes's work has been collected by prestigious museums and private collectors worldwide. Achieving awards including the 1999 Minister of Education, Culture and Sport Prize, Nes’s work was described by the New York Times as “shrewd send ups of the pervasive, macho military presence in Israeli life”.

An invader's guide to the British Isles
- Authors: Ferry, David
- Date: 2016
- Type: Text , Visual art work
- Full Text: false
- Description: Lying on the coffee table are picture books that tell us all we need to know about Britain: its history and geography combined. This printed matter supplies the artist David Ferry with both his subject and his raw material. Guides of the nation’s heritage imagine an innocent landscape where the manners and attitudes of the genteel middle classes of England prevail. Into these Ferry has inserted cut out images from neighbouring picture books that demonstrate the practices of the active hobbyist. Woollen garments adorn figures from British history; tropical fish swim through the great halls of stately mansions; rock climbers ascend national monuments; and confectioners bake their own public art works. The consequence of these additions is humorous undermining of an accepted narrative. Providing a survey of David Ferry’s continued visual exploration of guides to British Heritage, this exhibition features work from series that span twenty-five years. The picture books, found in charity shops, are first subjected to simple cut and paste tampering; this is then refined through printmaking processes both traditional and digital. Resultant artist books and prints demonstrate a consistency of address that pokes fun at the polite and confident assertions of the conservative viewpoint. David Ferry RE, is Emeritus Professor of Printmaking at Cardiff Metropolitan University in Wales. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, RE, and printmaking consultant for the Sidney Nolan Trust in the UK. He has exhibited extensively in the UK and internationally, with recent solo exhibitions in Berlin, China, London, New York, Poznan and Seoul. His work can be found in public and corporate collections including Museum of Modern Art, New York; Ashmolean, Oxford; Art Institute of Chicago; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; National Museum of Wales, Cardiff and The Victoria and Albert Museum, London. He is also included in many international university collections, and the libraries of Cambridge, Oxford, Dublin, Edinburgh, and the British Library London. David Ferry is a Pollock/Krasner Grantee from New York. David Ferry is represented by Booklyn, Brooklyn, NY, USA. Booklyn is the premier gallery and protagonists in the USA for the promotion and impact of the genre of the artists Book and very well known on the Australian museum and state library circuit As a gallery and promoters of the genre, Booklyn has been a powerful presence in events such as Photo-Melbourne and Photo-Sydney. A considerable amount of contemporary American/international 'book arts' placed in national institutions in Australia have been sourced originally through Booklyn, and through the presence of one of the senior directors, Marshall Weber, a regular visitor to Australia, particularly Melbourne. Weber was recently artist in residence at the Victorian College of Arts, Melbourne and Creative Consultant for the Australian National Veterans Art Museum. Marshall Weber's works are represented in private and public Australian Collections, including the Australian War Memorial and the State Libraries of Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales. booklyn.org Image: Standing Form No 3, 2015 Public Sculpture in England series 2015/16 digital archive print with stencil & varnish with gold leaf 594 x 841mm Courtesy the artist and Booklyn, Brooklyn, NY.
