Additional newsletter photos by Kevin Xue - @kevin_xue_pic

A blog for people who are into making, displaying, discovering, finding, buying, collecting & considering photographs. 

Welcome

 

We are up to issue #24 having started in June 2021 (missing December as nothing much is on)

The improvements this month, is we should load a lot faster! I'm still working out how to do the exhibition section so it is easier to read and to get to see great shows. June was peak contest time but we have listed four that are have not closed yet which are awesome. Also the W Eugene Smith and Arnold Newman Grants will open soon.

 

It is near the end of the Pixy Lau and Sheet film exhibitions, if you have not seen them, do yourself a favour!

 

Our goal is to reach as many people as we can and bring the photo community in Victoria together to know and experience all that we have. Each month our long term content moves to reframe-refocus.xyz for look, buy/fix, hire, labs and previous newsletters so that you can view a full list of what is here.

 

If you write photography criticism and live are around Melbourne, we would love to hear from you about building a career in Victoria. Also we are on the lookout for talented photographers/artists to promote through the newsletter, gallery and by word of mouth.

So if you find the newsletter useful please forward to friends and ask them to join!

Be Longing

Parminder Kaur Bhandal

14 June to 9 July 2023

 

The trees can stand for decades, decaying quietly, and slowly, while leaching a gradual and steady release of nutrients back into the forestry understory. Housing ecological islands of otherness.
This idea of a dead thing sustaining life has become a metaphor within the work itself. It is an ode to the things that are no longer with us but still exist as a continuous source of strength and comfort. How people, places, and experiences from the past inform who we are and what we become.

 

Songs Festival

Cybele Malinowski, Wendy McDougall, Greg Noakes, Gary Ede and more.

14 June to 9 July 2023

 

Craig Kamber, Songs Festival Executive Director, said, "We are thrilled to be able to offer audiences this unique opportunity and new perspective to delve into the art and craft of songwriting. The exhibition will appeal to a cross-generational audience, with something for everyone to enjoy."

Surface Tension

John Inns

12 July to 6 August 2023

 

Conventional boundaries of photographic practice are challenged by inviting the water within the river to collaborate in the image-making process. Photographic negatives are submerged into water collected from the site where they were exposed. The river reworks the negatives in unpredictable ways, creating new photographs that are corrupted and transformed by the water. The original memory of the place is erased and replaced by a photographic amnesia. The resulting images are faded and abstracted, defying and challenging recognition.

Madeline Bishop

17 June - 02 July 2023

PHOTOGRAPHY Real and Imagined

Photographs from the collection including new acquisitions.

13 October 2023

 

Photography: Real and Imagined examines two perspectives on photography; photography grounded in the real world, as a record, a document, a reflection of the world around us; and photography as the product of imagination, storytelling and illusion. On occasion, photography operates in both realms of the real and the imagined.

20 Jun to 12 Aug 2023

 

Closer Together’ reflects on the 25-year cross-cultural relationship between the Hong Kong Art School and RMIT’s School of Art. It is proudly one of the university’s longest running transnational educational partnerships.

The Chinese classic text the ‘Tao Te Ching’ suggests that the world is made up of what we know and what we don’t know, which are ultimately the same. ‘Closer Together’ proposes that togetherness, creative dialogue and art-making can help us understand this – that through these processes we can come to better know the mysteries of the unknown. This exhibition shines a light on 15 artists from the Hong Kong Art School and RMIT community whose works celebrate connectivity and kinship and uncover new knowledge through exchange.

This exhibition showcases historic photographs of Melbourne from the state and federal government archives, alongside images representing our city today, curated from submissions by contemporary street photographers. The exhibition explores the moments of joy and connection that happen in our public spaces, between friends, family and strangers. It also highlights the ways people can feel disconnected or lonely in a crowd, and the divisions created by inequity of access to services and public spaces.

Very long exhibitions in museums.

We will include a photo in the month we find them, then list.

Tours de Force: Entertainers on the Front Line

In this special exhibition, stories, memorabilia and rare photos and videos tell the stories of entertainers on the front line spanning Lorrae Desmond, Normie Rowe and Lucky Starr to Kylie Minogue, John Farnham and Lehmo. It also explores the mission, operations and experiences of the people who have facilitated these successful tours.

Lost Jobs: The Changing World of Work

until 2023

The world of work is always changing and here is an odd history. This is not an exhibition of photography but an exhibition that has very interesting photography to illustrate the points it is making.

South East

The Queer Gaze

Many

To August 2023

Relicts

Mark Darragh

20 June to 9 July 2023

 

Relicts explores the past, present, and future of Australia’s temperate and alpine flora. Many of the species and plant communities photographed can be described as ‘relicts’, remnants of much larger and more extensive populations in the past. The exhibition also examines the bio-geographical relationship Australia shares with New Zealand, South America, and Antarctica, all once part of the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana.

The large-format film photographs are drawn from journeys over a period of 19 years, from 2003 to 2022, and represent landscapes from Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland, New Zealand, and Chilean Patagonia.

ZAHALKAWORLD – an artist’s archive

Anne Zahalka

10 June to 10 September 2023

 

Anne Zahalka is one of Australia’s most highly regarded photo-media artists who has exhibited extensively in Australia and overseas for over 40 years. Her work explores cultural and environmental points of tension, interrogating them with humour and a critical perspective. Her practice is centred around deconstructing familiar scenes and re-presenting them to allow for alternative narratives that reflect, amongst other things, on cultural diversity within Australian society and the ecological impact of the global climate crisis.

Through photographic essays exploring themes of the everyday, cultural traditions and the beauty of nature, featured artists take the viewer on a journey revealing the power of visual storytelling.

Binding Ties

Catherine Opie

to 9 July 2023

 

Since the 1990s Catherine Opie’s photographs have challenged and illuminated our understanding of notions of personal and political affiliation. Opie has in this time firmly established an international reputation as one of the leading photographers of her generation. This is the first survey of the artist’s work in Australia.

 

While Opie remains best known for her portraits of leather dykes, drag performers and transgender members of her queer community in San Francisco and Los Angeles in the nineties, the world around these works has shifted seismically. Today, they may be read in light of contemporary understandings of gender and sexuality as more fluid, the limits of community and kinship as increasingly porous and concepts of citizenship progressively more inclusive and accountable. The exhibition at Heide traverses Opie’s early, most recognisable works exploring constructions of gender and sexuality, through alternative conceptions of the nuclear household, to more recent musings on solidarity and collective action in the face of proliferating global crises.

South West

Geelong has a dedicated photo space and from time to time it is joined by other galleries and museums.

THE END OF THE BEGINNING

Craig Tuffin

to 9 July 2023

 

We often spend much of our time remembering. It’s easy to experience feelings of nostalgia when looking at old photographs. Even vernacular photographs without authorship, with their bent corners, anonymous handwriting and stains from poor processing and mishandling, can elicit those same emotions. All photographs are in a cycle of surreal transformation, where the present immediately becomes the past, and the past evidence of an inevitable future. 

 

The Briny Deep Exhibition runs 

Bianca Conwell 

9 August to 1 October 2023

 

An observation of the recurring shapes and forms in nature. Throughout the natural world we find repeating shapes; meandering patterns, symmetries, spirals and waves. We see the shapes of grand landscapes and mountain ranges, flowing bodies of water, plant and animal life, prehistoric forms, celestial bodies and galaxies all reflected in each other. This is my first solo exhibition, all of the photographs in it are made using large format cameras, hand made emulsions and negatives, and hand made printing methods. This exhibition includes salt and carbon prints from wet plate glass negatives, and ambrotypes. I am inspired by time spent in nature along the Otway coast in Victoria, and in this work especially by objects from the sea.

There’s a certain Slant of light

Jane Brown

to 28 May 2023

 

There’s a certain Slant of light takes a darker turn with the inclusion of an exciting new body of works by celebrated contemporary photographer Jane Brown. The mysterious interplay of light on greenhouse plants, and refracted through mirrors, antique glass and windows are the subjects of these extraordinary new works – each meticulously hand-printed on paper, tin or glass.

 

Air to Atmosphere

David Rosetzky

to 3 September 2023

 

David Rosetzky is collaborating with members of the LGBTQIA+ community in Central Regional Victoria including &so, Eden Swan, Terence Jaensch and Rhett D'Costa amongst others, to create a major exhibition commissioned by Castlemaine Art Museum.

Flowing from Rosetzky's renowned practice in video and performance, this large collaborative and multi-disciplinary work includes photography, filmmaking, performance, publishing, music, song, choreography by Jo Lloyd and social events created with and about local artists and community members.

Air to Atmosphere explores the diversity, trauma, resilience, and pride of the LGBTQIA+ community. Presented in the Stoneman and Benefactor Galleries at CAM, including live performance, and a major Terrace Projection every evening at dusk.

 

Equal the Contest

Mitch Nivalis

to 10 September 2023

 

Equal the Contest began as a Master of Photography project that aimed to use image-making to challenge gender roles and stereotypes. As my research progressed, it became a feature documentary film and photobook about my journey learning to play AFL in the Mt Alexander Falcons Women's Sports Club, along with this projection, commissioned by CAM. This projection is part of a larger body of work.

With the club’s long history of presenting photography in shows, fairs and conventions, this exhibition at Hyphen not only showcases the talent and skill of the members but also celebrates the club’s enduring legacy.
