Some pictures from my exhibition at Stephen Mclaughlan Gallery

Some images of the show are on the gallery's Facebook page (you don't have to be on Facebook to see them) - just click on "Not now" when the irritating notice about logging in to Facebook pops up, or scroll past it, and click on an image of the show.

Exhibition at Stephen McLaughlan Gallery, Melbourne

I have an exhibition coming up at Stephen McLaughlan Gallery in the Nicholas Building in Central Melbourne. Digital prints and a projection. This show is related to my PhD exhibition from 2016, but most of the prints I have at Stephen McLaughlan were not in the PhD exhibition.

Picocosm 3

Generative art in Italy

I will be attending the 2016 Generative Art conference and exhibition in Florence, 15th-17th December. I will be presenting a small version of my real-time work Nanocosm.

 

These conferences have been held every year since 1998, usually in Milan. This will be the first time I have attended one. The venue in Florence is the Auditorium of the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze, Via Folco Portinari 5/r in central Florence. I think the photo shows the building!

Group shows

I am in two group exhibitions that open tomorrow evening (Friday 19th August). One is the Flanagan Art Prize at St Patrick's College Ballarat. Entry to the opening is by ticket, otherwise the show is free entry. Details at http://www.stpats.vic.edu.au/en/students-parents-staff/music-and-performing-arts/flanagan-art-exhibition/.

I won't get to the Flanagan Prize opening because I am going to an opening to launch the Globelight festival in Melbourne. The Globelight festival is mainly about art that uses light, and is across two venues, Off the Kerb Gallery at 66 Johnston St, Collingwood (which is where my piece is, just a digital print this time), and the Abbotsford Convent not far away.

Globelight Opening 1: Friday 19th August, Off the Kerb, 66 Johnston St, Collingwood, 6-9 pm. Guest speaker is the artist Peter Kennedy, a long-time practitioner of art using light and one of the first Australian artists to work with light-based installations.

Globelight Opening 2: Saturday 20th August, Abbotsford Convent, 6-9 pm. Guest speaker is Charles Justin, of the remarkable Justin Art House Museum in Prahran.

Artist talks: There will be informal artist talks at Off the Kerb on Sunday 21st August, 2-4 pm. I will say something about my work.

The exhibition at Off the Kerb runs until September 2nd. The exhibition at the Abbotsford Convent, which consists of works distributed across the grounds, will be open evenings until 10pm, 20-28 August. Information about the festival at http://www.globelight.com.au/.

My PhD exhibition

It's finally happening!

Where: Monash University Caulfield campus (next to Caulfield station). I am in the MADA Faculty Gallery on the ground floor of Building G (not to be confused with MUMA, which is in Building F).

When: August 10-16. Gallery hours are 10am-5pm Mon-Fri. The gallery will also be open on Saturday 13th August, 10am-12noon.
 
I expect to be at Caulfield pretty much throughout the duration of the exhibition, including the weekend viewing on the Saturday morning.

Anita Traverso has organised a pop-up gallery in Prahran, at the Hunter apartment development. I have some works there.
