Zero <Boy> Incognito

This exhibition profiles the work of three female photographers (Eryca Green, Angela Tarlinton and Bronwyn Wright) who explore issues of identity. Blurring the edges of reality and fantasy Zero <Boy> Incognito takes the everyday and transforms it.

Bronwyn Wright focuses on constructing images of masculine culture and mythology. Figures hooded, helmeted and masked, sit and hover amid the ruinous debris of burnt-out cars decaying in the landscape. Angela Tarlinton’s work describes the vulnerability of adolescence  boys hovering between the two worlds of childhood and the uncertainty of adulthood.

Eryca Green investigate themes of isolation, fragmentation and the female image through her ongoing journey of the self. Video installation and projected images will also be a part of this mixed media show.

In Off On
In residence, Off the shelf, Hands On
Works by local artists in residence

 In this exhibition a shelf of 30cms deep will be installed around the outer walls of the gallery to hold appropriately sized artworks and crafted objects from invited local artists. Work will be for sale “off the shelf” and, when sold, be replaced by another artwork. Tables form an island in the centre of the gallery to form small “studio” kiosks where participating artists work “in residence”, producing artwork and demonstrating processes, etc. over the period of the exhibition.

It is anticipated that this performative, participatory and interactive project will contribute to a wider discussion of the value of an on-going program of artists-in-residence and artists-in-community. The project will also act as a fund-raiser for the gallery (in support of other programs and projects).

Klaus Moje – Glass
Master Craftsman

The Living Treasures: Masters of Australian Craft series is an initiative of Object Gallery (Australian Centre for Craft and Design, Sydney). Each year, through the combination of a touring exhibition and a major monograph publication, The Living Treasures series aims to celebrate the achievements of Australia’s most iconic crafts practitioners.

Klaus Moje is regarded by many as the most distinguished artist working with glass in Australia and one of the most important glass artists of our time. His work is represented in dozens of major public collections both in Australia and internationally including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Australian National Gallery and the National Gallery of Victoria.

25 x 25

25 x 25 presents the work of 25 artist-printmakers who have made prints in the workshops of Studio One and Megalo Access Arts. It reveals the range of media that encompass the field of printmaking from screen-printing, through etching, lithography, woodblock and linocut printing. The exhibition was conceived to celebrate Megalo’s 25th year as an open access print studio in 2005. The artists were selected to represent Megalo’s past, present and future. Each was asked to produce a print, 25 x 25cm square, on any theme and in the medium of their choice. A colour catalogue accompanies the exhibition which includes an account of the history of Megalo and Studio One by art historian Sasha Grishin.

25 x 25 was conceived and curated by Megalo’s Artistic Manager, Paul Peisley

25 x 25 will also coincide with Spiral Gallery’s The South Coast Solar Print Project (SCSPP). The SCSPP workshops will take place between
11 February and 16 April 2008 with the completed work exhibited at Spiral Gallery in May with a representative body of work also on display
at the Bega Valley Regional Gallery at the same time.
