That's Just Rubbish: Candy Stevens / Haptic Biographies: Catherine Shields
2024-05-11 11:00 - 2024-05-25 16:00
That’s Just Rubbish: Candy Stevens / Haptic Biographies: Catherine Shields

This combined exhibition explores feminist ideas surrounding women and notions of domesticity and nurturing, reflecting on how we shop, consume, dress and dispose in a society that ‘packages’ women’s bodies and their roles in society.

As a medium, soft food packaging in particular is drawn upon to explore feminist ideas surrounding domesticity, the impact of womens’ return to work as well as the commodification or ‘packaging’ of women’s bodies.

Multidisciplinary artist Catherine Shields uses a variety of mediums and techniques to re-purpose found materials such as soft single use plastic, tin, fabric, hair and grasses to twist, sew and enmesh into new forms. Titles such as Entanglement, Enmeshed, Mother Lode, and Empty Nester suggest relations with others, including objects, the Earth, our bodies. Catherine continues to be passionate about the role of re-purposing and ‘making-do’ to speak about the complexity of of personal responsibility to the earth and to ourselves.

Sculptor, painter and installation artist Candy Stevens is also bent on recycling materials in her practice. Candy thinks that there is enough ‘stuff’ on the planet and so reinvigorates new from old. This at times extends to recycling her sculptures into new works. In the tradition of Arte Povera, creating works from everyday and discarded objects, her practice disregards power constructs and financial norms and becomes a meditation on the temporal and ephemeral nature of existence

That’s Just Rubbish will be open 11am-4pm from Saturday 11 – Sunday 25 May.

Home: Paul Dunn
2024-04-13 11:00 - 2024-04-27 16:00
HOME by Photographer Paul Dunn was created as part of the Opening Doors project. It is a bold exhibition of large scale photographs of people living with a disability shot in their home environment, centering on the idea of ‘home’ – a universal concern for everyone.

The aim of the Opening Doors project (consisting of a website, films, booklet and photographs) was to assist people living with a disability in terms of information for renting, but also to break down barriers for those not living with a disability.

The project was managed by and features film from Melbourne Filmmaker Lawrence Johnson, best known for his films ETERNITY, about Sydney’s infamous ‘Mr Eternity’ for ABC, and FALLOUT, which explored the work of British Novelist Nevil Shute and his novel ‘On the Beach’ for SBS.

This suite of photographs have been acquired by The State Library of Victoria Photographic Collection and the gallery show was recently revisioned and commissioned by the Melbourne Metrotunnel Creative Program and exhibited at their Swanston Street site.

Home runs opens Saturday 13 April and is open Saturdays & Sundays 11:00am-4pm until Sunday 28 April.
