Moving Histories at the GalleryAustralia’s leading female contemporary artists at the Gallery. By Portal Admin - 20th May 2018 - Back to News Latrobe Regional Gallery is pleased to present Moving Histories // Future Projections bringing together some of Australia’s leading female contemporary artists working across screen-based media.
Latrobe City Council’s mayor, Councillor Darrell White, said the exhibition was curated by Kelly Doley and Diana Smith of collaborative artist group, Barbara Cleveland.
"The exhibition explores invisible pasts, forgotten narratives and repressed memories, reminding us how history is fractured by race, class and gender.
"The artists in Moving Histories // Future Projections approach their subject matter in a variety of ways – they turn the camera on themselves, re-stage historical events or reimagine alternative futures through speculative accounts of the past. Yet through repetition, montage and mimicry, they all explore a space where time folds in on itself and back again and each looks back while also moving forward.
"Collectively and individually they act as historians, archivists and archaeologists - excavating historical materials, digging through archives and channelling the past to make new connections across time and space," Cr White said.
Artists featured include Mikala Dwyer and Justene Williams, Amala Groom, Deborah Kelly, Kate Blackmore and Jacinta Tobin, Joan Ross, Soda_Jerk, Angelica Mesiti and Caroline Garcia
"The exhibition is a glimpse into the past using new and exciting perspectives to tell a different version of the story," Cr White concluded.
