ANNE SCOTT WILSON 

Fly Rhythm, ARC ONE Gallery, Melbourne, 23 July - 24 August, 2013.

Anne Scott Wilson’s Fly Rhythm explores the profound analogue experience of ‘drawing with light’ in a digital world. Utilising lens-less, pin-hole photography, Scott Wilson intuitively and physically recorded movement as still images, as direct representations of light over time. In Fly Rhythm, the impact of space and time upon the body - the spatiality of movement - presents a uniquely subjective visualisation of the body as a conduit of visual experience.

- Annabel Holt, July 2013 

Scott Wilson studied painting as a mature-age student following a career in dance. Her practice is informed by theatre, cinema and live performance and is realised across multiple creative disciplines including photography, video, painting, sound installation and performance.

PETER DAVERINGTON

PETER DAVERINGTON has been shortlisted in a world-wide competition to find the top 100 Painters of Tomorrow.

The project, developed by London gallerist Kurt Beers from Beer.Lambert Contemporary, in collaboration with publishers Thames and Hudson, will ultimately result in a book featuring the 100 selected artists, and a major exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London. From 4,300 entries, Daverington is one of 427 artists shortlisted, who hail from 47 countries in total, with only 10 other Australians being included.

Kurt Beers was inspired to begin the project due to what he felt was a 'marked trend in which many talented artists – in this particular case, painters – were growing increasingly frustrated due to what they felt was an overwhelming lack of opportunities directed toward them,' - find the interview here.

Judges of the final list of 100 painters include: Cecily Brown, Sir Norman Rosenthal, Yuko Hasegawa, Gregor Muir, Suzanne Cotter, Suzanne Hudson, Philip Tinari, and Barry Schwabsky.
