They CameGallery: Gallery TwoDates: 13/03/2012 - 13/05/2012 ARTIST HolyGreenCow They Came is an autobiographical look at the world through the eyes of the everyman. The exhibition examines responses to end of the world scenarios and nature reclaiming using a visual aesthetic akin to the sci-fi movies of the 1950's. The series is comprised of 11-framed images that tell an autobiographical tale of what might happen if we continue to ignore science. The photographs are snapshots from a future in which the world has become over run by monstrous invaders, caused and constructed through human inaction, which are snapped by the not so innocent bystander. Through the use of lo-fi technology, HolyGreenCow’s photographs trigger a sense of urgency in the viewer. The characters are blurred, frozen mid-movement, fleeing from harm and seeking a hide away. This calls the viewer to action, to consider the consequence for ongoing neglect and lack of respect for the planet we share. The series has been shot on an iPhone using elaborately structured dioramas, which include rear projections, live performance, cut out figures and elements such as fire. The unique process and use of lomo digital photography have given this series wide appeal to all ages and has been shown in a number of public spaces and galleries.

Freshwater, Saltwater
Submitted by chloe on Tue, 20/03/2012 - 14:28. |
Freshwater, SaltwaterGallery: Gallery TwoDates: 15/05/2012 - 08/07/2012 ARTIST Australian National Maritime Museum Water holds deep spiritual and cultural significance for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The vast network of rivers, creeks, billabongs, lakes and coastal regions found across the country represent a rich source of food and culture for Indigenous Australians. Marine environments are places to hunt, fish and to have contact with non-Indigenous Australians. For this reason, water is central to dreaming stories and different forms of marine life are often used as family or clan totems. In this exhibition of prints from the Australian National Maritime Museum, the artists have used printmaking as a medium for strengthening their cultural identity and their connection back to 'country'. Their vivid representations of marine life celebrate the survival of their communities and their struggle for land and sea rights and justice. All of their works commemorate the rich living relationship between Indigenous people and water in Australia.
