Launch event: Thursday 5 August (open to the public)

Exhibition Dates: Friday 6 August – Saturday 4 September

Unrest explores ways to visualise tension, struggle and disruption as daily forces in opposition to freedom, safety and comfort. Photography served as a rapid means to compile a personal archive of images that documented sites of uprising, unrest, and impact, encountered on the streets of Paris in 2019. These artworks refer to sites where small and large acts of resistance, dissent, and unrest were observed. The preliminary research for this body of work was undertaken during a three-month residency at Cite International des Arts in Paris. It was pre-COVID, and there were many homeless people living in makeshift homes and tents throughout the picturesque Marais district. It was also the time of the weekly Gilets Jaunes protests. I produced a photographic survey of the streets documenting barricades, discarded rubbish, street furniture and public monuments draped with banners, flags and barrier tape. These urban surfaces had been embellished, attacked, and bore visible traces of impact. I photographed the hand-written cardboard signs of the homeless, protestors, workers and refugees.

My aim to expand the act of documentary photography through extreme manipulations of printed images in combination with reclaimed commonplace materials seeks to arouse a sense of place where upheaval, protest and battle have occurred, and where the lives of tourists, residents, homeless and displaced persons intersected.

Launch event: Thursday 5 August (open to the public)

Exhibition Dates: Friday 6 August – Saturday 4 September

Since moving to Tasmania in 2019, Robert Jackson has evolved from being a painter of plains grassland landscapes to a painter of mountains and forests. This exhibition of recent work draws its inspiration from the rugged, dramatic vistas of the Far South. The exhibition will also include some Grassland works, some of which are done on “found boards” i.e. pieces of wood found in hard rubbish and the like. The philosophy is that grasslands are undervalued and often seen as an absence rather than a presence. i.e. the absence of houses, shops, roads etc rather than a vibrant eco-system in their own right, and that painting them on “rubbish” was an apt metaphor.

Unrest explores ways to visualise tension, struggle and disruption as daily forces in opposition to freedom, safety and comfort. Photography served as a rapid means to compile a personal archive of images that documented sites of uprising, unrest, and impact, encountered on the streets of Paris in 2019. These artworks refer to sites where small and large acts of resistance, dissent, and unrest were observed. The preliminary research for this body of work was undertaken during a three-month residency at Cite International des Arts in Paris. It was pre-COVID, and there were many homeless people living in makeshift homes and tents throughout the picturesque Marais district. It was also the time of the weekly Gilets Jaunes protests. I produced a photographic survey of the streets documenting barricades, discarded rubbish, street furniture and public monuments draped with banners, flags and barrier tape. These urban surfaces had been embellished, attacked, and bore visible traces of impact. I photographed the hand-written cardboard signs of the homeless, protestors, workers and refugees.

My aim to expand the act of documentary photography through extreme manipulations of printed images in combination with reclaimed commonplace materials seeks to arouse a sense of place where upheaval, protest and battle have occurred, and where the lives of tourists, residents, homeless and displaced persons intersected.

Since moving to Tasmania in 2019, Robert Jackson has evolved from being a painter of plains grassland landscapes to a painter of mountains and forests. This exhibition of recent work draws its inspiration from the rugged, dramatic vistas of the Far South. The exhibition will also include some Grassland works, some of which are done on “found boards” i.e. pieces of wood found in hard rubbish and the like. The philosophy is that grasslands are undervalued and often seen as an absence rather than a presence. i.e. the absence of houses, shops, roads etc rather than a vibrant eco-system in their own right, and that painting them on “rubbish” was an apt metaphor.

Featuring work by Carol Buissink, Robin-Mary Calvert, Jenny Miller, Lynn Hasenkam, Melissa MacCrum, and Dawn Oakford.

Four years ago, friends Carol, Dawn, Jenny, Lynn, Mel and Robin-Mary, began getting together regularly to enjoy all things “arty”. Curious Conversations is their first joint exhibition and is a magical mix of their individual talents and the inspirational spark of working in collaboration.” The different media and modes of expression we all use provide fresh creative directions and insights as well as curious contrasts. Works are in ceramic, paint, pen and ink, paper and textiles.
