EXHIBITION TOURING PROGRAM 2013 - 2014
WELCOME TO THE EXHIBITION TOURING PROGRAM FOR 2013-2014 Once again, an array of tasty visual experiences are on offer, including five NEW exhibitions as well as the smorgasbord of our continuing favorites. The Exhibition Touring Program is devoted to curating, supporting and touring high-quality visual art and exhibition product. Our exhibitions are designed to appeal to a range of regional audiences and occasions, and are ideal for a variety of large and small traditional and non-‘art’ spaces. Our exhibitions are supported by easy instructions, tour and media kits, didactics, ideas and materials for public programming. We love to chat to regional venues about ‘value-adding’ your exhibition hire by seeking extra funding or community support for example, by hosting one of our artists in residence with your exhibition, or attaching an exhibition hire to an event in your region at a particular time – festival, rodeo, travelling circus, school of the air visit… the possibilities are endless!
We represent professional and emerging artists and collectives from regional Queensland, often in collaboration with other exhibition development partners such as regional galleries or art centres. We take great pride in giving our exhibitors and their communities exposure through our exhibition touring circuits, via extensive print and online marketing and by creating opportunities for personal appearances. Our business is touring exhibition product from regional Queensland to regional Queensland (and into north NSW). For more information and images from each of the shows go to artslinkqld.com.au or

A LEGACY OF LIGHT
PHOTOGRAPHY
FIVE GENERATIONS OF PHOTOGRAPHERS 1863 TO 2012
An exhibition by Christopher Roggenkamp, Norman Roggenkamp, Kevin Doody, John Doody, Paul Doody, Patrick Doody This exhibition features the photographic work of five generations from one family - Christopher Roggenkamp, first generation, Norman Roggenkamp, second generation, Kevin Doody, third generation, John and Paul Doody, fourth generation, and Patrick Doody fifth generation. A Legacy of Light traces the historic, cultural and artistic journeys of these photographers whilst preserving and celebrating a significant collection of photographs, spanning a 150 year period from the early 1860s to present day. This unique exhibition highlights the changing ways the medium of photography has been used to document our lives, our history, our good times
and our sad times; the richness of the subject matter and range of historic periods take the viewer on an extraordinary journey. Beginning in regional southern Queensland, the story captures life in the early settlements, gradually showing how people, time and technology evolve through their legacies – the breath-taking story of this growth and change moves beyond an initial regional focus to the re-presentation of images from the larger world. Supported by Kayell Photographic and RGB Digital Printing www.legacyoflight.com.au
ITINERARY 2013/2014 open ARTISTS TALKS Three of the artists from the fourth and fifth generations are available, subject to scheduling WORKSHOPS Changing Photographic Technology – processes, equipment and techniques, The Art of Photographic Composition, Modern Photography – software, hardware and techniques MEDIA 80-90 photographic prints, text-based historic family records, multi-media presentation SIZE 70 - 80 LM 4

DICHOTOMY OF PLACE
PAINTING
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE SHIFTING LANDSCAPES OF QUEENSLAND
An exhibition by Ainslie McMahon and Veronika Zeil This exhibition showcases significant landmarks and ‘evolving’ vistas from around the artists’ homelands in coastal and rural Central Queensland. These artworks reflect upon the new ‘layers’ - mining, development - being constantly added to the natural landscape across regional Queensland. Dichotomy of Place invites audiences to contemplate the artworks as windows into this changing landscape.
These paintings are panoramic and contemplative, a feast of life and colour – the viewer can almost feel the humidity, hear the wind in the palm trees and smell the salty air. A short film featuring the two artists exploring their environment, artistic collaboration and creative processes also accompanies these exquisite offerings. 2

iNASA
PAINTING
THE ADVENTURES OF TWO LITTLE ASTRONAUTS (AND A MYSTERIOUS THIRD CHARACTER)…
An exhibition by David Howard This exhibition represents a suite of thirty quirky stories, a set of episodes in a long tall tale about contemporary civilisation and life, described as ‘vaguely autobiographical’ by Sunshine Coast painter David Howard. The term ‘NASA’ acts a metaphor for Western culture. Each work is in itself a complete mini-narrative. A space-suited pair face ‘change’ together; become tribal and endangered; entangled, scared and lost; float about and fall in love in a vibrant ‘real and imagined’ landscape, under the gaze of an intriguing third figure.
This set of paintings represents a visual and intellectual smorgasbord, combining striking graphics and complex personal iconography whilst directly referencing other artists, popular culture and recent history. Its subject matter is lovingly rendered with deep texture, animated composition with the sensuously luminous and colourful black-rimmed quality of stained glass. www.dehoward.com www.dehoward.blogspot.com.au www.facebook.com/david.howard.3910

LAND AND SEA
PRINTMAKING
THE COUNTRY NEAR TOWNSVILLE WAS TRADITIONALLY A VERY POPULAR CAMPING SPOT ‌ PLENTY OF FOOD AND FRESH WATER
An exhibition by Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts and Murris in Ink artists Karen Doolan, James Doyle, Bai Wareed Kabe, Gail Mabo and Aicey Zaro Land and Sea is a collection of monoprints created by Murris in Ink printmakers, five artists who live and work in the Townsville region of North Queensland. For thousands of years, this country has been a healing place for Aboriginal people and the Murris in Ink artists intend for this exhibition to celebrate this theme. This series of works on paper tells of the land and sea, the animals, plants and people from the region, as well as offering stories from the artists’ traditional countries in other parts of mainland Queensland and the Torres Strait Islands. Through the stories revealed in their artwork, the Murris in Ink artists aim to honour that custodianship and continue teaching about the land and sea to future generations. This exhibition provides links between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders traditions, experiences and knowledge. The traditional owners of the region, the Bindal and the Wulgurukaba people, have known about the lifesustaining treasures for thousands of years. The country surrounding Townsville has historically been a place where people were welcome to gather and food was abundant in the rivers and ocean. A sense of plenty, expansiveness and healing has been incorporated into these monoprints with the use of imagery such as bush medicine and healthy bush foods. In addition, the imagery of the spirits of this place link the past with future generations. www.umbrella.org.au

TEASING THE DOMESTIC
MIXED MEDIA
TAKE A WALK ON THE WOOLLY SIDE…
Curated by Artslink Queensland and featuring a selection of works from artists Kelly-Marie McEwan, Kim Schoenberger, Corrie Wright and the World Tea Cosy Competition, co-ordinated by Miles Regional Arts Council Teasing the Domestic proposes a toast to both the hand-made and the home-made, with a strong cup of tea, a hot twist of irony and a cheeky grin. This gala display celebrates many things; the continuing transmission of heritage textile skills across generations of women; the sheer indulgence of padded pink decoration; the evolving and subversion of traditional forms; chores and anti-chores; tea and chat and family; midnight yarn-bombing and the simple joy of crazy crafted critters. The exhibition features Sunshine Coast artists Kim Schoenberger and Corrie Wright as well as KellyMarie McEwan from Toowoomba. The selection of marvellous entries from the 2010 and 2012 World Tea Cosy Competition, a biennial charity event co-ordinated by Miles Regional Arts Council, come from urban and rural Queensland, interstate and overseas.
A significant number of the works in this exhibition are ‘stand-alone’, able to be displayed free-standing on tables or plinths (table-linens are supplied) independent from wall hanging systems – perfect for a foyer or library space for example. The exhibition is accompanied by, amongst other cosy kitchen and crafty resources, a children’s tea party area. Proudly supporting Cancer Council’s Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea. www.needleshookspins.blogspot.com.au www.kimschoenberger.com www.corriewright.com.au www.milesrac.org

Donna Davis explores the narrative between individuals and their objects, presenting ten distinct individuals in ‘portrait’; not with faces but with images of their objects and mementos offered for the artist, remastered in photographs slick with digital artistry.
of characters which make up many Queensland communities.
This contemporary look at portraiture provides an intimate glimpse into the lives of the sitters – allowing the viewer to reflect on the objects themselves in order to construct an image of the person depicted. Donna skilfully celebrates her subjects in intricate and individually-considered ‘framings’ of her own design.

Objects and Mementos resonates with unique stories and the evidence of their careful collection as markers to humanity; capturing a sense of the unique tapestry
The experience will inspire every viewer to reflect upon their own objects and mementos and their own stories.
The images in Reeds Talking, Mountains Walking emerge for our viewing pleasure from the artist’s book of the same title which accompanies the exhibition. Each chapter articulates a different habitat - Beach, Dunes, Headlands, Heaths, Mangroves, Mountaintops, Waterways and Woodlands. Interpreted through photographic capture and a personal philosophy that embraces both science and a dedicated spirituality, Lin traces the landscapes around her home on the Sunshine Coast with art.

STRIKING LINOCUT PRINTS BY INDIGENOUS PRINTMAKERS
An exhibition by Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts and artists James Billy, Shirley Yumala Collins, Donna Ives, Ian Kaddy, Gail Mabo, Susan Nampitjin Peters and Aicey Zaro Murris In Ink is a collective of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island printmakers who live and work in the Townsville region. The artists began printmaking workshops at Umbrella Studio in 2008 and gained recognition for their exhibits at the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair. Their works are now held in collections across the nation. This exhibition celebrates the symbiotic themes of food and water; Ngapa meaning water in Walmajarri language from the Kimberley; Kai Kai a universal term in the Torres Strait community for food.
Noel Brady Convergence 2009 Found object assemblage 840 x 1750 x 80 mm
An exhibition by Noel Brady
In preparation for this exhibition seven indigenous artists collaborated with master printer Ron McBurnie. The remarkable quality of the prints reflects their commitment to excellence and showcases exceptional aesthetic and carving skills, knowledge and celebration of stories and a passion for world-class printmaking.
As time and technology marches on, the old piano becomes neglected and forgotten. Re-tuning the Goanna celebrates this decline by presenting an exhibition of finely-crafted sculptures and panels of high-relief that re-work both the found materials and the found forms of musical instruments. Noel deconstructs the proverbial piano for example, re-combining individual repeated parts with other found objects to make a series of sinuous wooden collages that burst with energy and fluid line. Re-tuning the Goanna also features a selection of instrument-inspired wooden carvings - glowing curves of precious woods combine with rustic materials - weathered fence palings, rusty nails and scrap metal. This exhibition is a wonderful offering from a master of wood and a lover of form.
