Spaces Between

7 Dec 2012 - 7 Jan 2013 My current practice draws directly from my day-to-day experience within the Tasmanian suburban landscape. I seek out points of tension within these environments in an effort to deconstruct the idealised images of suburbia seen in Australian popular culture. While surveying the suburbs I catch glimpses into the private lives of... Read more

The Medium

9 Nov - 1 Dec 2012 The works in The Medium mark a new direction - combining the video autoportraits I have been most identified with to date, with traditional animation in brief loops that attempt to transcend ‘time’ both in format and content. Reinvigorated by the current resurgence of the animated gif in online culture,... Read more

Windwalking

7 - 28 Sep 2012 The term 'wind-walking' originates from Mawson's Antarctic expedition, which landed in January 1912 at Cape Denison in Commonwealth Bay in Adelie Land. Adelie Land is said to be one of the windiest places in the world. One of the expeditioners, Charles F. Laseron, describes how the men developed the skill... Read more

Views From The Dream Palace

1 - 30 Jun 2012 In David Keeling’s latest exhibition titled View for the Dream Palace, he represents the contemporary Australian landscape viewed from inside the architectural spaces of the built environment.

David Stephenson

Light Cities: Sea Level 4 - 26 May 2012 We live in the epoch of the 'Anthropocene', with the planet under increasing environmental stress caused by human activity. Since his New Monuments series (1979-81) human-altered environments have been the subject of David Stephenson’s artwork, which explores the relationship between nature and culture. Stephenson began photographing cities at night in... Read more

Jane Burton

Other Stories 5 - 28 Apr 2012 Among the photographic and cinematic sources that helped inspire Jane Burton’s recent work, two stand out for their unlikely complementarity: Miroslav Tichy, the Czech recluse who surreptitiously photographed local women for forty years as he stalked his hometown of Kyjov with handmade cameras, and Hammer Horror, the 1950-70 cycle of...

Balance Point

6 Jan - 4 Feb 2012 Minimum Curvature. The circle perfectly represents Platonic idealism: static and complete, beyond time and space. Uninfluenced by the vexatious forces and contingencies that confound the mundane, the circle symbolises heaven eternal. Rotated through 360 degrees, the circle produces a sphere, a figure almost as closed and inscrutable as its progenitor.... Read more

BBQ This Sunday, BYO

6 Jan - 3 Mar 2012 As a child I was fascinated by the fact that the important colonial painter Joseph Lycett was a forger. In a sense I am continuing his tradition of taking something and forging something new out of it. One of the reasons for Lycett's fame lay in the fact he was... Read more

Smeared with Toil

10 Dec 2011 - 4 Jan 2012 Each place we visit leaves an imprint on us, whether it is a memory, sound, smell or colour. We can be conscience of this lasting or at times fleeting experience, or it can live under our skin and in the distant parts of our mind to surface later. I had... Read more
