‘Fair Play’, an exhibition curated by Ben Rak at Manly Art Gallery and Museum.

by Leave a Comment

There is a myth that sport and art are natural enemies, as exemplified by the ongoing debate about the allocation of public funding by governments at all levels in Australia. Fair Play seeks to bridge the gap between these two forms of cultural production and to demonstrate that they both empower us to express ourselves physically, emotionally and intellectually, enabling us to connect and communicate with each other around the world — across borders, cultures, languages, and generations. 

Rew Hanks and Ben Rak have work in the show.

Friday, 9 December 2022 – 10:00am to Sunday, 26 February 2023 – 5:00pm at Manly Art Gallery and Museum.

To the Edges: 60 years of Sydney Printmakers, Artists in Conversation

by 3 Comments

Artists in Conversation                         Sunday, 4 July 2021 – 2.00pm to 4.00pm

By considering the use of the printmaking media in innovative and unconventional ways, as well as co-opting new media in the development of their works, the artists of Sydney Printmakers have worked ‘to the edges’ physically and metaphorically pushing their materials, ideas and themselves to their limits.

Sydney Printmakers is the longest-running independent printmaking membership organisation in Australia. It continues to demonstrate its currency in the quality and diversity of the work its artists create, and in the collegiate way its members work to share ideas and resources, and to support each other. As a group, it is thriving – and celebrates its sixty-year milestone with this especially curated exhibition.

Here is an opportunity to hear some members of Sydney Printmakers talk about their work in conversation with Katherine Roberts, Senior Curator, Manly Art Gallery and Museum. 

Participating artists:

Karen Ball
Tina Barahanos
Susan Baran
Anthea Boesenberg
Danielle Creenaune
Angela Hayson
Roz Kean
Carmen Ky
Gary Shinfield
Wendy Stokes
