Multicultural Art Competition

2009 – Australian Identity?!

4 - 21 November 2009

 

 


First Prize 2009 - Night Drivers by Michael Fairweather
First Prize Winner

Running for the second year, the City’s Multicultural Art Competition 2009 aims to showcase illustrative artworks that tell a story and encapsulate the City’s cultural diversity.

The competition opened on Monday 20 July 2009 and closed on Monday 31 August 2009. A total of 96 artworks entered the competition, with artists from within the City of Sydney, metropolitan Sydney and as far away as Indonesia and Russia.

This year’s theme was - Australian Identity?!

The 2009 Multicultural Art Competition called on artists to explore what contemporary Australia means to them. From works presenting scenes of cultural diversity in everyday local communities to national icons such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Three Sisters, each of this year’s ten finalists drew inspiration from their own experiences of Australian life.

Exhibition Launch

The Launch of the exhibition for the 2009 Multicultural Art Competition was held on Saturday 17 August at Custom’s House at 12pm. Over 160 people attended the launch, where the Deputy Lord Mayor, Councillor Phillip Black, and Sylvia Ross, the Head of the School of Art at the College of Fine Arts, officially announced the finalists and major prize winners.

Christie Torrington

New Works : 2009 1 – 13 September 2009
 

Pine Street Gallery
Launch: Thursday 3rd September, 6:00pm – 9:00pm

Torrington’s latest exhibition explores the depth of loneliness & emptiness and its relation to inanimate objects. Combining her refined artistic sensibilities, powerful, razor-sharp fine art techniques and intensity of concept this exhibition is filled with a dark reluctance and a unique haunting grace.

“Memory is your image of perfection” – Barbara Kruger

Reminiscent of Beardsley’s inks, Torrington takes a measure of cult pop-horror and vamps it into a dark collection of special treasures.

Like looking in a long lost dead grandmas jewellery box and finding the bones of small birds, the intellectual warmth and depth of feeling of this show pushes you to question your belief in the closeness of material objects and your own personal distance to others. Our memories are defined by the collections of objects that make up our lives. These objects are so ingrained in the human psyche that they have become symbols of the domestic ideal.

Never before has a visual art opened so wide, such a fragile chasm.

Gallery Hours: Mon – Fri: 9.30am – 6.00pm. Saturday 11.00am – 4.00pm, Sunday: by appointment only, ph: 0409 229 890.

Opening Tuesday 4 November 6.00pm to 7.30pm

Aboriginal Education is everybody’s business


Participating schools Sydney Region Public Schools, Kindergarten to Year 12

This event marked a watershed in Aboriginal history in Australia and held deep significance for the Aboriginal community. The theme of this project captures the spirit of reconciliation and provides an appropriate stimulus for students from Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal backgrounds to reflect on what the apology means to them.

Motel (Inn)

Eun-Jong Lee

29 July - 30 August 2008

Inn is a space of 'lodging industry' and is a public place which offers service to people, who need resting. Also, the space of inn is characteristic of being transformed into private space for staying if people pay a hotel bill. Love motel, which becomes a common lodging facility in South Korea, is associated with the space of appealing to sex rather than the concept of old 'inn‘. We accept thinking way about a space based on habit and recognition which are formed socially, so that we usually recognize the inn as extramarital space where most men and women have sexual intercourse like TV media and papers rather than the concept of staying and resting. My first experience in an inn was not for sex but for staying of several days in university days of early 1990s in order to prepare for gathering of criticizing and discussing social situation. Space sense, which could not feel in home and university, made me be strange and n ervous, and that I could not fall to get to sleep in the inn because of concern about that someone could open the door of my room remains in my memory.

Rooms of the motel still play the role like memory of first love, longing toward people who broke up, laying down exhausting body, hideout for hiding after committing a crime and etc.

Multicultural Art Competition and Exhibition

18 June – 5 July 2008

The Matryoshka Principle

Friday 14 March until 19 March 2008.

Doll


The Matryoshka Principle will bring together ten local visual artists and ten sets of blank matryoshka dolls. A Matryoshka doll or a Russian nested doll (also called a stacking doll or Babushka doll) is a set of dolls of decreasing sizes placed one inside another.

Matryoshkas are also used metaphorically, as a design paradigm, known as the 'matryoshka principle' or 'nested doll principle'. It denotes a recognisable relationship of "similar object-within-similar object" that appears in the design of many other natural and man made objects.

As a basis and as a starting point for their work, artists will take inspiration from the historical, cultural and metaphorical content of the artefacts, and then develop their Matryoshka sets into personal responses. Artists are encouraged to be creatively innovative, with the only parameters being the doll as canvas.

The artists participating are: Catherine Bourne, Nick Pensa, Rehgan de Mather, Christina Chang, Darran McCrann, Victoria Lee, Celeste Potter, Ben Morley, Matt Stanton, Maria-Luisa Marino. The exhibiting artists come from a variety of backgrounds, employ a diverse range of styles, materials and approaches to concepts in their creative work.

New Works by Sandro Nocentini

20th February until 1st March 2008.

Sandro Nocentini’s first solo exhibition in Sydney since being awarded the Sulman Prize in 2005 is going to showcase his most recent works. Prolific in painting as well as sculpture, Nocentini uses the human figure in expressions of silent storytelling. "I find body-language to be more powerful and subconsciously more effective than any words...” he says.

Accompanying his personal search for a spiritual truth, many of his stories have roots in biblical traditions, but stripped of obvious religious connotations, these are re-narrated for a contemporary audience.

Ferry Race Morning FogView from the Roof

 

Exhibition Dates:      13 -24 August 2007

Opening Launch:      Tuesday 14th August 2007 at 11am

In 2007 a grant was allocated to the Mercy Arms, a non-government organisation in Waterloo, Sydney to undertake a photographic project with older people who had had the experience of being homeless. The participants were given an analogue disposable camera and asked to take photographs of people, places and things they encountered in their day-to-day lives.

For some participants it was the first time they had taken a photograph. Some did not have photographs in their homes, while others said it made them look at their surroundings with different eyes. One participant said she couldn’t believe that something she had done was important enough to be seen in a public space.

Participating photographers:

  • Lillian BLADES
  • Roslyn CARROLL
  • Junyu CHAN
  • Carol HOSLER
  • Wendy
  • Barbara RODDENBY
  • Ian RUSSELL
  • Bill RYAN
  • Sharney RYAN

The exhibition curator is Ruth MELVILLE with the assistance of Afrika NUGESE.

The badges look stunning and are clustered like jewels that read as a social history of our times... It is a wonderful and illuminating idea.Yass Tribune.Jacket

The 200 or so gathered, like me, all seemed to be struck and awed by the sense of occasion. This was an event and place that none of us was going to forget in a hurry…Most badges are about political protest – a way for the community to express the anti-establishment feelings of the maker and the wearer.” Canberra Times

"The New" - A Blend of Raw Talent


An exciting group of talented photographers have banded together to exhibit their most recent works at the Pine Street Gallery in January 2007. Drawn together by the renowned Photoimaging course at Ultimo TAFE, their work presents a diverse and stimulating glance into the creativity of careers at their conception.

For many participants, this will be their first exhibition and for the viewer, a window on the vision of future leaders in the photography world. Unencumbered by the commerical imperative, the images on display are unrestricted in their scope and style. The collection encompasses a refreshing variety of thought provoking and emotive works.

Consisting of thirteen graduates from the course, this exhibition spans a wide gamut of subject matter, reflecting on our society and environment in a fascinating manner. This is a must see for those who still believe in the power of the still image.
