HUW DAVIES GALLERY 3 to 20 May 2012 Image: Julie Garran, Backyard 1 Access all areas 2012 represents PhotoAccess in all its diversity with 107 works by 57 members—from black and white prints made by hand in the PhotoAccess darkroom to astounding, sophisticated digital images by Josh Dykgraaf and Ed Whalan, and Scott Newman’s beautiful tintypes reminding us of the earliest processes of photography. It’s interesting to speculate on the motivation of members in making and presenting work. Scott Newman says his interest in the tintype came about ‘… after searching for a way to make photographs that were not only about the image but also about the object.’ Sean Davey’s two works seem to call up the memory of personal moments in an innovative and evocative way. For Julie Garran making work is often about family, and her quirky images could not have been made without the cooperation of close, very willing tiny people. Kerry Reed-Gilbert’s My land, my spirit and The road to somewhere connect to her cultural roots as does Jo Kamira’s Ta Moko. Suan Chin Wong’s Spring celebrates a time of quiet contemplation on the verdant shores of Lake Burley Griffin. We welcome those who are showing in a members’ show for the first time this year. We are pleased to see images from three members we have worked with on a digital storytelling project with Karralika supported by the 2012 ACT Arts Fund. Josie Alexandra, Joel Johnsson and Emily Sargeson are young members presenting work for the first time. Seeing work on the wall, particularly in the context of a group show, is a real learning opportunity for artists and one of the very important outcomes of our members’ exhibitions. This year’s postcards show from 26 July to 12 August and Hang It Yourself from 18 October to 4 November are the next shows open to all members. The continuing involvement of artists who have had solo HUW DAVIES GALLERY exhibitions is very pleasing. This year they include Andrée Lawrey, Barb Smith, John Macdonald, Kerry Baylor, Ian Copland, Suzie Edwards, Julie Garran, Lauren Hewitt, Barbie Robinson, Lorna Sim, Tony Stewart, Josh Wodak and Ed Whalan. Two of our current artists in residence, Robert Agostino with two striking black and white prints and Julia Boyd, with her liquid emulsion portraits Ben 1 and 2 are represented in Access all areas 2012. Also represented in the show are board members and advisers who volunteer their time and expertise to help PhotoAccess with its work (Bob Burne, Ian Copland, Lauren Hewitt and Tony Stewart); staff members; tutors—Jane Duong and Richard Scherer in particular; and volunteers (including Alan Charlton). Engaging and challenging work has become the standard for PhotoAccess members shows, and Access all areas 2012 continues the tradition.

Scott Newman says his interest in the tintype came about ‘… after searching for a way to make photographs that were not only about the image but also about the object.’ Sean Davey’s two works seem to call up the memory of personal moments in an innovative and evocative way. For Julie Garran making work is often about family, and her quirky images could not have been made without the cooperation of close, very willing tiny people. Kerry Reed-Gilbert’s My land, my spirit and The road to somewhere connect to her cultural roots as does Jo Kamira’s Ta Moko. Suan Chin Wong’s Spring celebrates a time of quiet contemplation on the verdant shores of Lake Burley Griffin. We welcome those who are showing in a members’ show for the first time this year. We are pleased to see images from three members we have worked with on a digital storytelling project with Karralika supported by the 2012 ACT Arts Fund. Josie Alexandra, Joel Johnsson and Emily Sargeson are young members presenting work for the first time. Seeing work on the wall, particularly in the context of a group show, is a real learning opportunity for artists and one of the very important outcomes of our members’ exhibitions. This year’s postcards show from 26 July to 12 August and Hang It Yourself from 18 October to 4 November are the next shows open to all members. The continuing involvement of artists who have had solo HUW DAVIES GALLERY exhibitions is very pleasing. This year they include Andrée Lawrey, Barb Smith, John Macdonald, Kerry Baylor, Ian Copland, Suzie Edwards, Julie Garran, Lauren Hewitt, Barbie Robinson, Lorna Sim, Tony Stewart, Josh Wodak and Ed Whalan. Two of our current artists in residence, Robert Agostino with two striking black and white prints and Julia Boyd, with her liquid emulsion portraits Ben 1 and 2 are represented in Access all areas 2012. Also represented in the show are board members and advisers who volunteer their time and expertise to help PhotoAccess with its work (Bob Burne, Ian Copland, Lauren Hewitt and Tony Stewart); staff members; tutors—Jane Duong and Richard Scherer in particular; and volunteers (including Alan Charlton). Engaging and challenging work has become the standard for PhotoAccess members shows, and Access all areas 2012 continues the tradition.

HUW DAVIES GALLERY 24 May to 10 June 2012 Samuel Townsend’s America is not the power hungry, politically divided, economically turbulent nation we hear and read about in the media. The America he experienced in 2010 was most of all inspiring, motivating him to make a body of still and moving images and journals that led to 'Postcards From Texas'. Referring to the people he met, his ‘superstars of the night’, and his response to them Townsend says: 'I was deeply moved by this contagious bravery sprawled across the American landscape/dreamscape and tried desperately to capture it somehow, holding on to it tightly through words and pictures, an action designed to bear witness to my memories'. 'Postcards From Texas' is geographically and stylistically half a world away from the quite formal family portraits of 'Bleeding Lines', Townsend’s first solo exhibition in the HUW DAVIES GALLERY in 2006. Those carefully made images were about the ties and differences of young people living a fractured family life. But the idea of interrogating and celebrating shared experience is a strong thread through Townsend’s earlier and this recent work, a motive that appears to define his creative life to date. While there is some gentle humour in 'Postcards From Texas', the overriding seriousness of tone tells us we need to properly explore the story Townsend is sharing with us on the walls, in his moving images and in his writing. From the ironic 'B. Obama on the Mantle' to the understated homage to America’s home of theatre and performance, 'Broadway', and the outstanding self portrait, 'The Picasso Room', there is an intimate, personal narrative here that will reward the time and imagination invested in reading. Samuel Townsend was one of our two ANU School of Art Emerging Artists Support Scheme residents in 2006, leading to the 'Bleeding Lines exhibition. We are delighted to welcome him back to the HUW DAVIES GALLERY with this strong and impressive work. David Chalker [inline:Townsend catalogue.pdf=Catalogue] |

HUW DAVIES GALLERY 24 May to 10 June 2012 Christine Rufflet has been a PhotoAccess member for some years and first showed in the HUW DAVIES GALLERY in 'Access all areas 2008: the PhotoAccess members show'. She has contributed beautiful, thoughtful work to a number of group exhibitions since then, amongst them the image 'Sensualité' included in this exhibition and shown to a perplexed but admiring audience in 'Access all areas 2010'. 'Noble Conquest' is Christine Rufflet’s first solo exhibition. Unlike many of our artists, Rufflet has given us a comprehensive account of the real and imagined stories that lie behind the images in her exhibition and the motivation that has given rise to them. As she tells us, the horse has an ancient history in France and its revered status gave rise to the French popular saying ‘Horses are man’s most noble conquests’. Clearly Christine Rufflet agrees with this sentiment. She asks us to ‘see the gods and goddesses’ in her photographs and we are touched by the sincerity of her images and the story of her long personal relationship with the horse. A documentary style exhibition based on this subject matter would probably not have found a place in the HUW DAVIES GALLERY exhibition program. The fact that Rufflet has worked hard and successfully to conjure up images that transcend the reality of each of her animals, investing them with qualities that require an effort of the imagination to read and understand, is a singular achievement. As she says in her Artist Statement many of the portraits have ‘… a soft, intimate and feminine atmosphere and a texture that is sometimes very close to the appearance of a woman’s body...’ Such was the quandary experienced by many who viewed the seductive 'Sensualité' for the first time in 2010. I’m sure it will receive a similar response this year. PhotoAccess is pleased to present Christine Rufflet’s first solo exhibition and to share 'Noble Conquest' with visitors to the HUW DAVIES GALLERY.

The America he experienced in 2010 was most of all inspiring, motivating him to make a body of still and moving images and journals that led to 'Postcards From Texas'. Referring to the people he met, his ‘superstars of the night’, and his response to them Townsend says: 'I was deeply moved by this contagious bravery sprawled across the American landscape/dreamscape and tried desperately to capture it somehow, holding on to it tightly through words and pictures, an action designed to bear witness to my memories'. 'Postcards From Texas' is geographically and stylistically half a world away from the quite formal family portraits of 'Bleeding Lines', Townsend’s first solo exhibition in the HUW DAVIES GALLERY in 2006. Those carefully made images were about the ties and differences of young people living a fractured family life. But the idea of interrogating and celebrating shared experience is a strong thread through Townsend’s earlier and this recent work, a motive that appears to define his creative life to date. While there is some gentle humour in 'Postcards From Texas', the overriding seriousness of tone tells us we need to properly explore the story Townsend is sharing with us on the walls, in his moving images and in his writing. From the ironic 'B. Obama on the Mantle' to the understated homage to America’s home of theatre and performance, 'Broadway', and the outstanding self portrait, 'The Picasso Room', there is an intimate, personal narrative here that will reward the time and imagination invested in reading. Samuel Townsend was one of our two ANU School of Art Emerging Artists Support Scheme residents in 2006, leading to the 'Bleeding Lines exhibition. We are delighted to welcome him back to the HUW DAVIES GALLERY with this strong and impressive work. David Chalker [inline:Townsend catalogue.pdf=Catalogue] (all day)

HUW DAVIES GALLERY 24 May to 10 June 2012 Christine Rufflet has been a PhotoAccess member for some years and first showed in the HUW DAVIES GALLERY in 'Access all areas 2008: the PhotoAccess members show'. She has contributed beautiful, thoughtful work to a number of group exhibitions since then, amongst them the image 'Sensualité' included in this exhibition and shown to a perplexed but admiring audience in 'Access all areas 2010'. 'Noble Conquest' is Christine Rufflet’s first solo exhibition. Unlike many of our artists, Rufflet has given us a comprehensive account of the real and imagined stories that lie behind the images in her exhibition and the motivation that has given rise to them. As she tells us, the horse has an ancient history in France and its revered status gave rise to the French popular saying ‘Horses are man’s most noble conquests’. Clearly Christine Rufflet agrees with this sentiment. She asks us to ‘see the gods and goddesses’ in her photographs and we are touched by the sincerity of her images and the story of her long personal relationship with the horse. A documentary style exhibition based on this subject matter would probably not have found a place in the HUW DAVIES GALLERY exhibition program. The fact that Rufflet has worked hard and successfully to conjure up images that transcend the reality of each of her animals, investing them with qualities that require an effort of the imagination to read and understand, is a singular achievement. As she says in her Artist Statement many of the portraits have ‘… a soft, intimate and feminine atmosphere and a texture that is sometimes very close to the appearance of a woman’s body...’ Such was the quandary experienced by many who viewed the seductive 'Sensualité' for the first time in 2010. I’m sure it will receive a similar response this year. PhotoAccess is pleased to present Christine Rufflet’s first solo exhibition and to share 'Noble Conquest' with visitors to the HUW DAVIES GALLERY.
