JANET LAURENCE is included in the group show, Animate/Inanimate, a part of TarraWarra International 2013, at the stunning TarraWarra Museum of Art (TWMA). Curated by Victoria Lynn, Animate/Inanimate showcases the work of artists who approach the environment and fragile animal species in the context of global change - economic, climatic, human change. With the increasing destruction of our animate environments and creatures, can a 'spirit' be brought forth from the inanimate?
Laurence joins acclaimed international and local artists Allora and Calzadilla (USA), Lin Tianmiao (China), Louise Weaver (Australia) and Amar Kanwar (India).
29 June - 6 October 2013

IMANTS TILLERS
Imants Tillers
The Fleeting Self
18 June - 20 July 2013
ARC ONE Gallery, Melbourne
Imants Tillers’ upcoming exhibition, The Fleeting Self, presents the Australian landscape as a meditation on the self. In these, his most recent works, Tillers’ subjective and emotive reaction to an esoteric world is evidenced in a grand, painterly atmosphere.
Throughout many of the works in The Fleeting Self, we travel through the names and textures of places, framing strangely familiar narratives. Whether it be trekking across outback Australia, or standing upon Mt Kosciuszko - whether through the eyes of Eugene von Guerard, Albert Namatjira or the writer and social anthropologist, Robyn Davidson - Tillers observes, quotes and re-masters landscape as we know it. We also see reference to Rosalie Gascoigne, Fred Williams and the symbolist poets that continue to inform Tillers’ works as fusions of poetry and paint. In The Fleeting Self, the conceptual rigour of repetition and appropriation in Tillers’ linguistic landscapes continues in a contemplation of our ever-transitory existence.

PETER DAVERINGTON's painting The New Colony has been included in the upcoming exhibition New Horizons, opening at Gippsland Art Gallery in June. The exhibition is to showcase the next phase of contemporary landscape painting in Australia - works with futuristic outlooks, presenting a world that has become synthetic, constructed, magnified, modified or otherwise manipulated.
From curator Simon Gregg:
"This is the next phase of Australian painting- at its most dynamic and dramatic."
New Horizons will be open 1 June- 25 August 2013.
