Thinking ahead: Claiming the Creative Space

http://mgnsw.org.au/sector_development/thinking_ahead/
It’s 2010 and boredom is dead. Non-stop interactivity, information and images are in the palm of your hand. Technology is dramatically transforming art, journalism, photography, publishing, audio and video media, social networking, conferences, language, learning and academia. Collaborative creative communities are everywhere and spontaneous. Now do-it-yourself online curating is the new black. How does this impact on gallery and museum professionals and the physical spaces we create? Our speakers share their insights and experiences in creating physical spaces that offer everything virtual spaces can and more, and in “real time”. It all begins with a great idea . . .

When: 2pm – 5pm, Friday 10 September 2010

Book Launch - Boutwell Draper Gallery

http://www.boutwelldrapergallery.com.au/
Join Boutwell Draper Gallery and friends in launching a new book by artist Ingo Kleinert.

Rejoining the Land promises to be a fascinating exhibition: Positioned at the intersection between cultures where corrugated iron can speak of multiple histories. Beautiful and troubling, irons global democratic reach extends from the leaves of iron gracing contemporary architecture to the roofs and walls of self-built shelters. Discarded, it reflects its history of use: scarred, marked, rusting and burnt it is retrieved and recycled.

Exhibition opening and drinks at the Gallery from 6pm.

Gallery 9 Artist Talk - Adam Norton
http://www.gallery9.com.au/
Saturday 31 July 4pm

Adam Norton takes science and technology and the associated belief and power structures as the starting point for much of his work. Through humour and displacement Norton has explored UFOs, nuclear technology and the industrial complex. Norton's art reflects his increasing disbelief, amazement and sometimes dismay at the world around him. Norton's artistic practice spans a variety of media, including painting, artist books, installation and performance.
