The Museum Project consists of a selection of photographs by American photographers generously donated to Lismore Regional Gallery in 2016. Established by artists and curators Robert von Sternberg and Darryl Curran, the project promotes the collection and exhibition of contemporary photography by art museums and universities internationally. The collection provides first-hand access to a multitude of photographic ideas and approaches, creating a resource for the public, including the next generation of photographers. Images span from the 1970s to the present day.

This annual exhibition was delayed a week due to conditions with the fires in the area, but we still got this show on the road. As is often the case any given exhibition can serendipitously reflect what might be happening around us at the time.

Fiona Shadwell’s hand painted cloth “Fire” was left with us a month ago, little knowing what was about to happen. Andrew H Daley’s photographic image of Bush Smoke over the Sacred Rocks, and Theodore Kennett-Raj’s ‘Year 2050’ with our mobile oxygen respirators, remind us of the craziness of our times and that art can reflect the preciousness of our resources, as in Rebekah Seriah Webster’s recycled wood sculpture “Conversation in Perspective”. We have a gallery full of diverse and colourful work, with felted wall hangings from Year 7/8 students at Rainbow Ridge Steiner School, and artworks generously donated to the gallery by Joline Shervey to fundraise for the hall.

There is artwork that celebrates what we have to be grateful for and that also reminds us that so many things are held in the balance.

Thurs: 10am-3pm, Fri: 10am-3pm, Sat: 8.30am - 3pm, Sun: 10am-3pm

The Alchemists: North Coast Woodfire

During the 1970s, the Northern Rivers became known as a hub for woodfiring, a process of ceramic production that involves continuous firing, sometimes over days, feeding timber into a handmade kiln. The reason for this convergence is difficult pinpoint, but it may have had something to do with the price of land, the presence of likeminded people, and the attraction of the area to the romantic hearted. The Alchemists brings together 10 master woodfirers who came out of this flourishing. They have each spent 30 years in the area working with clay. Their practices, though they involve the same basic combination of elements (clay, air, heat, wood, ash, and time), could not be more diverse. They range from the fine, controlled work of Geoff Crispin, to the baroque eccentricity of Dennis Monks, the geometry and esoteric symbolism of Malina Monks, and the sensitivity to colour and flux of Tony Nankervis.

Featuring artists from the Lismore region: Penny Evans, Hiromi Tango, Karla Dickens (with contributor Leigh Arnold) and Aris Prabawa; the Townsville region: Gail Mabo, Anthony Vanghoua Vue; and Tasmania: Selena de Carvalho, David mangenner Gough

The Partnershipping Project was conceived to link regional artists, regional galleries and regional audiences to ask: ‘Does Place Matter’?

The result is an exhibition, curated by Pat Hoffie with associate curator Rosemary Miller, that is redeveloped in each regional location as new artists join. The project has become a series of iterations that explore the effects of ‘globalised’ thinking and the impact on changing relationships to ‘place’.
