Archives for November 2014

Along with the Living Colour artists, I extend a huge thank you to Carly Brown and the team of other volunteers at Grenfell Art Gallery who looked after installation of the exhibition earlier this week.

As you can see from these work-in-progress photos, the centre of the gallery space is opened up to enable viewers to take in the full rainbow effect of the exhibit.

The exhibition opened on 25 November and has already attracted textile enthusiasts from as far afield as Temora, Ariah Park (just up the road from Quandary!), Tubbul and Bribbaree. (I’d love a position on the Geographic Names Board!)

Grenfell is in the heart of canola country so viewers will recognise the uplifting yellow landscape in Jenny Bacon’s work Illuminate (detail below).

The exhibition continues until 20 December 2014. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Friday 10am-4pm and Saturday 9.30am-12pm.

As a curator, I endeavour (as far as practicable!) to give the participating artists an opportunity to share the exhibition with their local community. Two of the Living Colour! artists live in South Australia so I am delighted that the exhibition will be on display at the Craft and Quilt Fair in Adelaide this week Thursday to Sunday, 13- 16 November, 10am-4.30pm. Thank you to Expertise Events and the Quilters’ Guild of South Australia for making this possible.

Join Suzanne Gummow for an artist floor talk at 1.30pm on Saturday and Sunday.  Suzanne will also have copies of the Living Colour Catalogue available for sale.
