Social Drought: Solo Exhibition by Katherine Kennedy

Dates: 25th – 30th June 2019

Times: 10am – 5pm daily (closed Mondays)

Location: Gallery ONE88 Fine Arts,186/188 Katoomba St, Katoomba NSW 2780

Exhibition Celebration: Saturday 29th June 2019

The individual art works comprising this eclectic body of work incorporate; found rusted objects from arid landscapes juxtaposed with hand-made elements. Wet versus dry appearing surfaces. Woven two dimensional or sculptural elements and blurry out of focus imagery. All items incorporate an element of a consumable ‘drink’ be it alcoholic or coffee, however. For example, I have consciously incorporated alcohol with either; alcohol-ink, shellac, alcoholic packaging cardboard’s, drink-coasters, beer bottle-shard lenses and more.
 
Curated within this show are works that symbolically stand alone or build context collectively. A solitary object, abandoned, left for time to claim. A female portrait, ephemeral and hovering over a dusty landscape. A detailed, single rock-form supported by a ‘community of rocks’ in the periphery. A close up study of a ‘community of rocks’. Abstract appearing shapes denoting repetition and the singular.
 
I have thoroughly enjoyed the lived research approach behind this body of work spanning 5 years. The most significant placements influencing this new body of work have been in New Zealand annually for major events and curated exhibitions, on an island famous for its wineries, and a research station at Fowlers Gap run through UNSW Art & Design. 

Nathalie Hartog – Gautier: Paper and Place, Gosford Regional Gallery

 25 May – 7 July 2019     Paper and Place   Gosford Regional Gallery

For centuries paper has been used as a medium for keeping record and holding memory. In this exhibition contemporary artists Nathalie Hartog-Gautier and Beverly Smith each use paper to respond to the unique character of significant places. 

Nathalie Hartog-Gautier’s work focuses on the concept of the voyage, its transformations, attachments and associations. Her large scale paper installations for this exhibition represent her reflections on the environment and history of Hill End, the Blue Mountains and the Central Coast. 

Beverly Smith uses natural dyes from Indigenous trees, earth pigments of ochre, sand, earth and binders on paper to tell visual stories connected to her Aboriginal identity, culture and Country. With rich personal iconography she presents a series of works on paper that explore sites of personal and cultural significance in the Brewarrina area.

Anna has been working hard on the website to make a new exhibition catalogue page. It is still very much in development so please bear that in mind. More images will be added over the next little while. If you have work in the show and it is not yet represented on the page and you have not yet done so, please send your images to Anna for inclusion. We intend to have a catalogue page for each of our exhibitions in the future.
