"Collective" is an exhibition of La Trobe University photography students to coincide with the new university year, opening 5pm Thursday Feb 27.

The exhibition of eight continuing students from the University’s photography program shows a selection of work from Harley Caldwell, Jinae Connell, Judd Dean, Katrina Doolan, Keisha Doyle, Bree Robbins, Adam Telford and Matthew Turner. Demonstrating the great range of work produced by the local students, the show introduces these emerging photographers to the community and allows them to gain important exposure and exhibition experience.

Wallflower Structure Reshuffle & Curatorial Advisory Group | Katrin Koenning & Paul Batt

Wallflower Photomedia Gallery is thrilled to announce the establishment of a curatorial advisory group as part of our structural change for the 2014 year. Paul Batt and Katrin Koenning will be joining the WPG family, bringing to the gallery their particular specialties, experience and knowledge. Their ideas will be key contributions to the program through discussion and decisions on the correct course of the exhibition schedule and satellite projects including extended engagement through interviews and public programs. In addition to these activities, both advisors will also be curating a project within the 2014/2015 calendar.

Our 2012/2013 curator Kristian Häggblom will be moving to a directorial role and the assistant curator for the 2013 program, Moana Kidd, will be taking on the role under the newly appointed advisory team.

How fantastic to again share Alicja Dobrucka’s interview with Crane.tv It's a great little piece as they caught up in her studio about the project 'I like you, I like you a lot'. You might recognise this from earlier in the year when we posted about the excellent series of exhibitions the year would bring and we are thrilled to be able to close with the same level of anticipation for the coming 2014 program. We hope you enjoy these final insights to the final show for 2013.

As we come to the end of our second year at Wallflower, we would like to invite you all to the final week of our current shows "I like you, I like you a lot" from London-based Polish artist Alicja Dobrucka and "Noise" from local artist Laura Frietag.

 

"I like you, I like you a lot" is a powerful and moving show, brought to Australia with assistance from the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, Warszawa. Revolving around the harsh confrontation of the experience of death and mourning, the work is the story of the immediate aftermath of the death of the artist's 13 year old brother.  

 

In the projection space, "Noise" is a four channel video work investigating issue confronting youth on a global scale.  

 

These two shows are the final in our 2013 program and we are thrilled to be ending the year on such a strong note. Keep in touch with the gallery over the holiday break through our facebook, twitter, send us an email or just keep popping by here at our blog.
