Art gets Personal Publicly

By Gippsland Art Gallery - Sale - 17th September 2004 - Back to News

Diploma of Visual Arts students from East Gippsland Institute of TAFE's Fulham campus return to Gippsland Art Gallery • Sale for the second year running with a new multidisciplinary exhibition of works exploring personally and publicly held perceptions of art.

Entitled From the Personal to the Public, the exhibition is the result of students employing traditional mediums including painting and photography, to new media artforms such as video-based installations and digital imaging.

East Gippsland TAFE is one of the few local facilities to offer a digital component as part if its visual arts course. This year, students have showcased this capability with some of the exhibited works appropriating local landmark buildings from around the region, and assigning them a new relevance through the use of digital layering of autobiographical imagery.

The work ¡®Faces of the Community,¡¯ a digital image by artist Hannah Kennedy, uses Sale¡¯s iconic Clocktower as a canvas to project the personal as literally the face of the public.

The exhibition will be opened by one of Australia's foremost video-based artists Lyndal Jones. Jones is perhaps best known for her selection by the Australia Council for the Arts as the sole Australian exhibitor at the 2001 Biennale of Venice.

The exhibition is on view at Gippsland Art Gallery ¡ñ Sale, 68 Foster Street, Sale October 2 ¨C November 7, 2004.
