2012 and the year ahead….

Posted on by lee

It’s well and truly into the New Year and what a busy (and exciting) year it’s going to be!

Pieter at the pub in Auckland

Already I’ve travelled to New Zealand to attend a workshop organised by Harvey Benge that hosted one of my favourite photographers, Pieter Hugo as well as the Senior Curator for Photography from the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Quentin Bajac. It’s an intensive but excellent 3-day workshop and I was also fortunate to meet some wonderful NZ photographers – some of whom I hope to collaborate with in the future. Good on you Harvey for doing these!

I will be publishing my Belco book later this year and I’m really looking forward to working with Christey and Marcus from one8one7…. we are totally on the same aesthetic page which is a massive relief!

Some other projects on the boil but will post about these in due course……… oh, and back off to Korea again in October……… awesome year this one’s going to be!

Bring it on!

Global Backyard: 40th Anniversary Celebration

22 October – 11 December

Curated by Fiona West, Global Backyard is an exhibition that coincides with the celebration of Latrobe Regional Gallery’s 40th Anniversary. It taps into the Latrobe Valley, Gippsland and Australia as a place of exchange, movement, migration and sustainability; a place where we re-look at history, where people grow-up, settle and call home; a place where we make connections in the backyard, enjoy time with friends, take part in a changing environment and establish a sense of place.

Artists include: Stephen Bush, Jon Campbell, Daniel Dorall, Lee Grant, Rod McRae, Danie Mellor, Paula do Prados, Noël Skrzypczak, Arlene TextaQueen and Paul Yore.
