My exhibition, AND THEN..., opened at Anna Schwartz Gallery in Melbourne late July and ran through to late August.
JULY, 2010For the last 2 weeks of July, I was Artist in Residence at the Lock-Up Cultural Center, while still utilizing the studio down the road at the Newcastle Community Arts Center.
The Lock-Up Cultural Center, Newcastle, NSW, AustraliaThis very active program is housed in the old Newcastle Police Station and Gaol - one of the many fantastic examples of historical architecture on the beach end of Hunter Street in Newcastle, NSW.
The final month before my Melbourne exhibition was spent working hard as Resident Studio Artist at the Newcastle Community Arts Center. A well run local community studio facility and a great working environment.
My thanks to Lake Macquarie City Art Gallery for organizing the studio space. I will have two pieces, made during the residency in a show at the Lake Macquarie City Gallery in late September.
JUNE, 2010My time as the Ashfield City Council Artist in Residence was brought to a close with a display in the local Ashfield shopping mall of work made by the workshop participants.
The people who attended the workshops put in an amazing effort and made some really clever, interesting and fun work. One of the participants, Ian Woolf, has put some great documentation up on his website, with links to videos and a photo gallery.
The day was a real blast! For the most part passers by seemed to really enjoy it, though the image below might suggest otherwise...
