AS MODERN AS TOMORROW

1 July 2011 - 5 Feb 2012

State Library of Victoria

328 Swanston Street, Melbourne

This exhibition has been on since July '10, but speaking around no one seems to know it's on!

So good, i gotta highly recommend it.

A collection of photographs, publications, advertisements all from the Post-War decade in Melbourne.

Including beautiful photographs from Helmut Newton, Wolfgang Sievers, Henry Talbot, Mark Strizic, Norman Akin, Dacre Stubbs and Maggie Diaz.

'They were among Melbourne's leading commercial photographers during the 1950's and 60s, active in fashion illustration, advertising, architectural and industry photography.

The work featured highlights the strong connection between much commercial photography and the artist's eye."

GET ON DOWN JAMES BROWN.....

Hard Workers Club, Parts & Crafts, Tourisms, and The Thousands Melbourne, are very pleased and enormously excited to announce the call for submissions for the inaugural IPF Photo Prize 2012.

The Independent Photography Festival (IPF) will utilise the strengths and skills of the photographic community HWC so prides itself in being a part of to further bring to the forefront the multi-faceted, far-reaching, diverse, and prolific nature of what we’re all working hard at.

The Photo Prize is one of a week-long programme of events to be held in Melbourne from Monday 2 - Sunday 8 April 2012, designed - and aiming - to celebrate and highlight the best of what our community of independent and autonomous photographers and creatives has to offer.

They'll be exhibiting all acceptable submissions after a preliminary review as a part of the IPF 2012 program, with all prints on sale to the public by silent auction, and with all proceeds from work(s) sold returned to the artist(s).

HWC also asked some of their more local friends to help them create a set of relevant and righteous prizes for their 3 Prize Categories (Judge’s Panel 1st & 2nd Place and a People’s Choice Award) and they're gunning for a couple more big boy prizes to add to the mix, so until they have all that locked in, they’re holding back on what’s on offer, but rest assured they’ll look after you.

We might try and make a publication of the work after the event, too.

Head over to the temporary IPF site and click on the Submissions Form link, read the T&C’s, pay, and post your prints to us.

Please be aware and keep in mind this is a call out for PRINTED IMAGES and not digital files (JPGs, TIFs, etc).

All entries must be posted, to be received by THURSDAY 1 MARCH 2012 (01/03/12) at5PM AEST, to:

IPF13-23 FARADAY STCARLTON MELBOURNE VIC 3053

AUSTRALIA

Stand by for more info on the Photo Prize and IPF - we’ll be dropping the whole thing over the next couple months.

Good luck,

HWC & IPF

Two words for the screenplay: "Incredibly brilliant"

It was a tough, tough assignment to write about a 9/11 family even ten years removed. Pitching a New York agent a few years ago with a novel that just touched on the event, I watched as the agent described how he simultaneously witnessed the towers come down on TV and out his office window. His breathing became labored and I though he was going to cry. He wasn’t about to consider my book. I understood. Eric Roth’s (Academy Award for “Forrest Gump”) screenplay for “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” may make it possible for others to now write on the subject if written with Roth’s sensitivity and genius – a salute also to Jonathan Safran Foer for the book.

Loving...

ABOUT BLESS

.

Bless are undefinable.

They are clothing designers, product designers, installation artists. 

They are making even the dull things in life so beautiful.

Keep up to date with their news: 

http://web.me.com/blessberlin/BLESS_new/News.html

"BLESS is a visionary substitute to make the near future worth living for. She is an outspoken female – more woman than girl. Sheʼs not a chosen beauty, but doesnʼt go unnoticed. Without a definite age she could be more between her mid twenties and forties. B. hangs around with a special style of man. She has no nationality and thinks that sport is quite nice. Sheʼs always attracted by temptations and loves change. She lives right now and her surroundings are charged by her presence. She tends to be future orientated. BLESS is a project that presents ideal and artistic values by products to the public.”

DANIEL ARSHAM

the fall, the ball, and the wall

Opening reception: Friday, January 20, 6 - 9pm

Special performance by Jonah Bokaer

937 N. La Cienega Blvd.

Los Angeles, CA 90069

OHWOW is pleased to announce Daniel Arsham's first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, titled the fall, the ball, and the wall, on view January 20 through February 16, 2012. From two-dimensional work to sculpture, installation, public art, and performance, this New York-based artist produces occasions to (re)consider architecture, the natural world, and the manner in which they interact. the fall, the ball, and the wall, Arsham's first solo show with OHWOW, illustrates the artist's continued interest in manipulating architecture and in challenging expectations of accepted realities.

Arsham presents three bodies of work, revealing his diverse artistic practice and the progressive manner in which he approaches his subject matter, chosen media, and the surrounding environment. His structural interventions that cause walls to appear in a state of flux, as if they are melting or dripping, reverse the notion of architectural rigidity and of a partition's standard presentation. With a new series of work on canvas, he depicts realistic building constructions, which include elements that spell out words, such as "UH-HUH." A large-scale, hanging mass of tinted spheres, from the set of Merce Cunningham's final performances, is a three-dimensional sculpture based from the pixels of a hyper-magnified photograph of a cloud formation.

His aestheticized sculpture and installations realize hypothetical architectural elements and counterintuitive designs, queuing possibilities and coercing material to behave atypically. Whether through his solo creations or collaborations with architects, choreographers and dancers, Arsham presents work that possesses visual drama and minimalist aspects; measures of solid intention and moments unrehearsed; signals of human progress or an entropic future.

Daniel Arsham (b.1980, Cleveland, OH) graduated from Cooper Union, and received the Gelman Trust Fellowship Award in 2003. Arsham's work has shown at institutions, such as PS1, New York, NY; The Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, FL; The Athens Biennial, Athens, Greece; The New Museum, New York, NY; and Carré d Art de Nímes, France, among many others. A monograph of Arsham's work was published by the French Centre National des Arts Plastiques.
