Ali McCann Our very talented NCAT teacher Ali McCann has an exhibition at C3 Contemporary Art Space. When Opening: Wednesday 21 June 2017, 6 – 8pm
Exhibition: Thursday 22 June – Sunday 16 July 2017 Gallery Hours Wednesday – Sunday, 10am – 5pm 'An Introduction to Liminal Aesthetics' Ali McCann’s 'An Introduction to Liminal Aesthetics' explores the liminal phases of artistic pedagogy and art production. The works examine the aesthetic disorientation an artist experiences during this learning process – a disorientation that creates an environment for errors, unintentional transformations and new interpretations. The backdrop in these works originates from a collection of 'failed attempts – a collection of photo-sensitive paper McCann salvaged from a darkroom bin at a photographic college where she once taught. The abstract silver gelatin prints, creased and torn, marked by light-exposure and chemicals, show evidence of her students’ darkroom errors and unsuccessful experiments. These 'failed attempts' now become backdrops for still-life arrangements of obsolete teaching aids and found objects. |

It's review time for our Create students and we captured each of them displaying their incredible work for assessment. The artists presented a range of works such as painting, costume design and life drawing. The Create course provides students with an opportunity to work and experiment with different mediums. It seems that inspiration was taken from a range of sources, and some of the work dealt with the bigger issues of society such as mental illness. Pictured Kate Clifford preparing her life drawings for review. |

The diverse talents of our students is constantly on display at NCAT. The Year 11 Music Performance class, taught by Matt Rodd, were rehearsing for their assessment which is taking place soon; rehearsals started with a trumpet duet (with our Head of Music, Peter Myers), then moved onto an acoustic guitar and vocal performance, through to an original rock song before finishing with a piece on the grand piano. And that wasn't even all of the students in the group! We look forward to seeing these performances come together. |

Led by JAMIE STEWART, ANGELA SEO and SHAYNA DUNKELMAN, the music of XIU XIU defies simple description. It is a complex mix of post punk and synth pop, classical and experimental styles, full of brutality and emotional depth.XIU XIU’s performance isn’t simply a recreation of the Twin Peaks music, but provides an entirely new interpretation that emphasises its chaos, drama, fear, noise and sidelong leering glances.. thesubstation.org.au/whats-on/xiu-xiu-plays-the-music-of-twin-peaks |

VAN GOGH AND THE SEASONS 28 APR 17 – 9 JUL 17 OPEN 10AM–5PM DAILY SAT & SUN 9AM–5PM The National Gallery of Victoria, in partnership with Art Exhibitions Australia, presents Van Gogh and the Seasons for the 2017 Melbourne Winter Masterpieces exhibition. Curated by Sjraar van Heugten, independent art historian and former Head of Collections at the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, Van Gogh and the Seasons is exclusive to Melbourne and presents the largest collection of Van Gogh artworks to ever travel to Australia. Van Gogh and the Seasons is presented within sections devoted to each of the four seasons. Viewers are invited to explore Van Gogh’s profound connection to nature through nearly 50 paintings and drawings, many of which depict places that were the setting for defining moments in the artist’s tumultuous life.
