In 1968 the National Gallery of Victoria staged The Field – Australia’s first comprehensive display of colour field painting and abstract sculpture. Now 50 years on – as the NGV revisits that landmark exhibition – we are also taking the opportunity to stand back, take stock and re-examine what artists are making beyond The Field, still.

Beyond the Field (Still) presents the work of seventeen artists across two venues – Moonah Arts Centre and Contemporary Art Tasmania.

The intention is to explore the work of contemporary artists whose practices sit in a similar genre to the original The Field exhibition.

Exploring the variety of experiences that artists draw from, Beyond the Field (Still) asks: what informs the work; what drives the artist; and what sensations do they seek to impart.

In addition to the exhibition, curator Anne Mestitz will be joined by a number of the artists for public programs including a floor talk, a forum, a creativity workshop, a panel symposium and a podcast.

Quiver explores memory and memory loss. Significant at a time when my memory is constantly challenged – conversations are centred around… “what was their name? …do you remember when?”

My mother’s dementia diagnosis has also made me realise how extremely precious memories are. The three installations in Quiver represent rooms in a shared student house in the early 1980’s. It is based on my experience as a Fine Art student in Bristol, UK at that time. I aim to demonstrate how colour schemes, patterns in wallpapers and fabrics can trigger memories from that era. Music is another stimulant for memory and images from promotions can take you back to events.

In Quiver I have played with and manipulated patterns and music imagery showing the passage of time. Also within the patterns I tell a story from that time – of a night I can’t remember – ‘quiver’ is the feeling of not knowing, the tremble in the pit of the stomach, the consistency of jelly.

Celebrate the Sound of a Generation

Take an unforgettable ride to hitsville USA with a celebration of songs from Motown. You’ll be transported back to the golden era when superstars like The Temptations, Michael Jackson, Cher and Aretha Franklin reigned at the top of the charts.

Tasmanian Song Company are accompanied by a wonderful musical combo:
Tom Misson – Piano
Eric Armani – Bass
Nick Parish – Guitar
Matthew Ives – Drums

Nicole Farrow, Roz Pearson and Rachel Taylor are “The Beehive Extremes” And we present “Shopping with the Barbers of Motown” (Hutchins School barbershop) making their debut performance.

“Motown is forever” says Musical Director Matthew Ives. “Rachel, Nicole and Roz produce effortless harmonies with a lot of love.

It’s pretty universally known that Motown is a record company founded in 1959 in Detroit – one that went on to achieve spectacular success. No other record company in history has exerted such an enormous influence on both the style and substance of popular music and culture. With more than 180 Number One hit songs worldwide and counting, that influence is still being felt today, from pop to hip-hop.

So tease out your big hair, pull on your tightfitting pants, step out in your platform shoes and don’t forget to dust off your Glomesh bag!

Quiver explores memory and memory loss. Significant at a time when my memory is constantly challenged – conversations are centred around… “what was their name? …do you remember when?”

My mother’s dementia diagnosis has also made me realise how extremely precious memories are. The three installations in Quiver represent rooms in a shared student house in the early 1980’s. It is based on my experience as a Fine Art student in Bristol, UK at that time. I aim to demonstrate how colour schemes, patterns in wallpapers and fabrics can trigger memories from that era. Music is another stimulant for memory and images from promotions can take you back to events.

In Quiver I have played with and manipulated patterns and music imagery showing the passage of time. Also within the patterns I tell a story from that time – of a night I can’t remember – ‘quiver’ is the feeling of not knowing, the tremble in the pit of the stomach, the consistency of jelly.

Exhibition in the Albert Hallway

A series of photographic portraits of young people in Department of Education schools and Early Childhood Services, who are blind or have sever low vision.

These images reflect strengths and vulnerabilities evident in all humanity and speak nothing of boundaries or limitations.

Audio description of each photo is available plus a selection of tactile images made from the photos. Exhibition notes in braille will be included in the gallery space. Access for people with vision issues to this conventional exhibition format shaped the show.

Opening event: Tuesday 2 October, 5-7pm (All welcome)

In 1968 the National Gallery of Victoria staged The Field – Australia’s first comprehensive display of colour field painting and abstract sculpture. Now 50 years on – as the NGV revisits that landmark exhibition – we are also taking the opportunity to stand back, take stock and re-examine what artists are making beyond The Field, still.

Beyond the Field (Still) presents the work of seventeen artists across two venues – Moonah Arts Centre and Contemporary Art Tasmania.

The intention is to explore the work of contemporary artists whose practices sit in a similar genre to the original The Field exhibition.

Exploring the variety of experiences that artists draw from, Beyond the Field (Still) asks: what informs the work; what drives the artist; and what sensations do they seek to impart.

In addition to the exhibition, curator Anne Mestitz will be joined by a number of the artists for public programs including a floor talk, a forum, a creativity workshop, a panel symposium and a podcast.

In this workshop you will develop simple patchwork, stitching and embellishing techniques to create an arty feature panel for your bag. You will then learn how to craft a bag from a pair of denim jeans, utilising the jeans pocket and your own unique art panel. You will add a zip and your choice of handles. A range of materials will be provided for your use and plenty of support given to design and sew your own bag. Some basic sewing machine skills are an advantage, but not necessary….we will help you with every stage of your creation.

$60, book online>>

Overwintering: to avoid the perils of winter by spending those months in a more hospitable climate, e.g. ‘many birds overwinter in equatorial regions’.

The Overwintering Project is an environmental art project designed to bring visibility to Australia’s most endangered group of birds – migratory shorebirds – and their habitat.

Artists from all around Australia and New Zealand are joining forces to shed light on these amazing but elusive birds that breed above the Arctic Circle in Siberia and Alaska, but spend their summers on the shores of Australia and New Zealand, making an annual migratory flight of around 25,000 km.

The exhibition will feature an extensive portfolio of original prints, as well as complementary works by artists who work in other media. The Overwintering Project aims to raise awareness of migratory shorebirds – their existence and their habitat – to help us do our part to preserve these extraordinary creatures.

Conversations With The Artist: 1pm Sat 10 Nov

Join project coordinator Kate Gorringe-Smith for Conversations with the Artists: 1pm on Sat 10 Nov. This is a free, casual event where you can meet artists currently exhibiting at MAC and hear more about the stories and inspirations behind their exhibition.
