Craft ACT Exhibition

Opening 6.pm Thursday 24 June followed at 7.pm with an artist talk by Ian Factor

You and your guests are invited to join Craft ACT at the official opening of the exhibitions by guest speaker

Grace Cochrane independent writer and curator

Abstract
Ian Factor
Craft ACT Gallerie
Discover contemporary furniture which explores a new consciousness in furniture design. Factor’s distinctive works establish a creative fusion between abstract design and functional furniture using sustainable timbers. The exhibition will examine the effect of placing contemporary furniture in a gallery context showcasing the union of functionality with abstract and sculptural forms.

Substrate, Structure, Surface
Leonie Andrews
Craft ACT Gallerie
The compulsion to order, to create physical and visual harmony is at the core of Andrews’ work. Recycled textiles are joined through layering and stitching, united by dyes, printed and stitched marks. The holes, wear and tear and stains become key elements adding vitality to these textile works.

Mind Refined
Jane Crick
Craft ACT Crucible Showcase
Craft ACT partners with the Canberra Potters’ Society, to award an exhibition selected from the Society’s annual members exhibition. Jane Crick is the recipient of the 2009 award. Crick plays with form and texture, creating ceramic objects she describes as ‘messed up geometry’. The works are inspired by agricultural and industrial buildings, and represent a progression of Crick's practice to new angular, rustic forms.

The exhibitions continue until Saturday 31 July
Level 1, North Building, 180 London Circuit, Civic ACT
GALLERY HOURS Tue-Fri 10.am-5.pm Sat 12.pm-4.pm

Michael Callaghan

Michael Callaghan
Image & Text 1967 - 2010

7 - 29 May

An exhibition tracing the career of one of Australia’s more politically focused artists. From 1977 to 1979 Callaghan was part of the Earthworks Poster Collective at Sydney University working alongside a group of talented artists who made a major contribution to Australian art at a time when mainstream painting and sculpture appeared moribund. In 1979, Callaghan founded Redback Graphix in Brisbane, and in 1980 moved it to Wollongong and in 1985 to Sydney. Redback developed an idiosyncratic style, using fluoro colours with bold black outlines. Throughout the 1980s and 90s the workshop undertook campaigns from a number of Commonwealth government departments. Callaghan is the co-creator of Condoman the Phantom-like figure who advocates the use of condoms for young Indigenous men, one of the
more successful anti-AIDS health campaigns in indigenous health. In recent years he has continued working with combining art and politics in digital prints and has also returned to making paintings and sculptures. His most recent body of work, created as the H. C. Coombs
Creative Arts Fellow for 2009 at the School of Art, ANU, is concerned with the war in Iraq. Focusing on the doublespeak of the ‘war on terror’ and in particular the issues it brings to bear on human rights. Michael Callaghan is the recipient of the ANU H C Coombs Creative Arts
Fellowship 2009 administered by the Research School of Humanities & the Arts in association with the ANU School of Art.

Ephemeral but Eternal Words │ Traces of Asia

Ephemeral but Eternal Words │ Traces of Asia
Curated by Fuyubi Nakamura

6 April – 1 May 2010

The official opening
6pm Tuesday, 13 April 2010

To be opened by
Professor Howard Morphy, Director
Research School of Humanities and the Arts
College of Arts and Social Sciences

Exhibiting artists
Chihiro Minato, Tsubasa Kimura, Phaptawan Suwannakudt and Savanhdary Vongpoothorn

The physical and visual presence of writing has a special place in many Asian cultures. This exhibition, Ephemeral but Eternal Words: Traces of Asia, showcases the significance of words and writing through the brush and lens of four artists with connections to Asia: Tsubasa Kimura, Chihiro Minato, Phaptawan Suwannakudt and Savanhdary Vongpoothorn. Working in various media and styles—from calligraphy and painting to photography and mixed media—the ‘writing’ presented in this exhibition are physical traces of time and space, embodying what is ephemeral and what is eternal in our life. We leave traces of ourselves throughout life, be it visible or invisible. Words, whether spoken, written, imagined or visualised, are traces unique to humans. Some words disappear while others remain only in memory or leave physical traces as writing or text. These traces are the theme of this exhibition.

Curated by Fuyubi Nakamura of Research School of Humanities and the Arts at ANU, it is a visual reflection on the themes of the “In the Image of Asia: Moving across and between locations” conference at RSHA (13-15 April 2010), co-convened by Ana Dragojlovic and Fuyubi Nakamura.

Supported by the Research School of Humanities and the Arts, ANU and the ANU School of Art Gallery
