AUGUST CURRENT EXHIBITIONS
DISCREET MONTAGE
THE OBSERVATIONAL CINEMA OF BARRY BROWN & IRENE PROEBSTING
23 July - 2 October
discreet montage features a selection of experimental (non)fictions including post-industrial reportage, ambient family portraits and found quotidian abstraction.
Shot on Super 8 film and edited in camera, the films are un-staged spontaneous recordings, utilising chance and improvisation as structuring devices to generate atmospheric narratives.
Similarly, the soundtracks privilege the accidental, predominately focused upon aesthetic errors and psychological ambience – a silent cinema fabricated from open-ended scores, magnetic tape manipulations and unusual guitar tunings.
The films are lyrical, unconscious constructs, featuring the familiar and the unfamiliar, a discreet cacophony of aleatory auras and everyday illusions.
The exhibition screens video projections with ambi-phonal sound from the original Super 8 prints.
STARS + STRIPES
AMERICAN ART OF THE 21st CENTURY FROM THE GOLDBERG COLLECTION
16 July – 25 September
In 1967 the Museum of Modern Art, New York toured Two Decades of American Painting to Australia. That ground breaking exhibition introduced Australian audiences to the work of a new generation of American artists including Andy Warhol (aged 39), Jasper Johns (aged 37) and Robert Rauschenberg (aged 42).
47 years later, Stars + Stripes: American Art of the 21st Century from the Goldberg Collection will introduce a new generation of equally important American artists to Australian audiences.
Drawn from the private collection of Sydney-based Lisa and Danny Goldberg, Stars + Stripes: American Art of the 21st Century from the Goldberg Collection is a vibrant selection of new American art by some of America’s hottest young names, many of the works have been made within the last three years.
The exhibition brings together 51 works across the mediums of painting, drawing, photography and sculpture and highlights the cutting edge practices of a generation of American artists that explore the creative and conceptual possibilities these mediums hold.
Based predominately in New York and Los Angeles, artists such as Tavares Strachan, Haim Steinbach, Richard Aldrich, Sterling Ruby, Davina Semo, Elad Lassry, Cory Arcangel, Jeff Elrod, Seth Price and Walead Beshty are carving out international careers and have been highly influential among art students and the next generation of emerging artists in the US and Europe.
Curated by Richard Perram OAM, Director, Bathurst Regional Art Gallery, the exhibition captures a fascinating snapshot of recent contemporary art from North America and provides a unique opportunity to present works by artists not easily accessible to Australian audiences.
A Bathurst Regional Art Gallery exhibition in conjunction with Lisa and Danny Goldberg, toured by Museums & Galleries of NSW. Curated by Richard Perram OAM.
WE ARE MADE OF STAR STUFF
JENNIFER HAWKINS
23 July – 21 August 2016
We are made of star stuff explores the cycle of evolution and extinction, and proposes that prayers and particles may be the links that complete the circle. Hawkins asks the big questions: "Where do we come from," "Where do we go to?"
Hawkins believes that human beings are making the planet uninhabitable for most species, including ourselves.
‘As the stuff of stars’ Hawkins feels we are all connected – to each other, to the universe. This exhibition explores the cycle of that connection.
