PAPER MOON
|
Vera Möller Labland 2002 Type C print |
Paper Moon presents artists who construct the subject matter for their photographs in the studio. The staged image and the constructed model have played an important role in the history of photography. When combined with the apparent reality brought to an image by means of the photographic process, the staged construction’s ideal function is to imitate life. |

TIMEPIECE |
'The central idea for this exhibition is to examine a range of works formed by repetitive art processes, which appear as seemingly contained and abstract. Simultaneously this reading is disrupted by the materiality of the works and the sense that they have been imbued with meanings moving far beyond formal intentions. The works could be seen as emotive, yet contained by rigorous structures applied in the making. These structures are inextricably linked to the content of the work; in the systematic handling of selected materials, time is expressed and can be situated as the central common theme in this exhibition.' |

SKIN |
Skin aims to visually explore the complex and ambiguous meanings associated with the term 'skin' through an exhibition of contemporary visual art. Using the word as a starting point, Skin is particularly concerned with questioning the often paradoxical relationships that exist between cultural identity and a personal sense of self. The ideas conveyed in the exhibition may challenge and confront both viewer and artist, addressing issues about the impact and effect of 'skin' on invasion, colonization, cultural and global identity, sense of place and dispossession. |

Death & Decoration (installation view) |
| DEATH AND DECORATION |
| Curated by Paul Zika for the Plimsoll Gallery, the exhibition presents a range of artworks that combine the apparently contradictory messages associated with ‘death’ (the sombre, serious and emotive) and with ‘decoration’ (frivolous and superficial). The exhibition contributed to debates about the nature and purpose of decoration within ‘fine art’. |

CIRCLES ABOUT THE BODY |
| The exhibition explored bodily adornment and cultural identity in the context of Aboriginal (Palawa and other) and non-Aboriginal cultural practices in Australia and provided a unique opportunity for cross cultural comparison, presenting Tasmanian aboriginal practice within a broader cultural context. |
