‘8x8’ - Lego constructions by Milton Cameron
October 19 – November 3rd
Opening event:
Saturday 19 October midday
New Zealand-born Milton Cameron came to Australia in 1981 to join the team of architects designing the new Australian Parliament House in Canberra.
Building upon his previous experience, Cameron created these pixelated relief sculptures using thousands of tiny Lego pieces, whose 8 mm by 8 mm dimensions provide the title of the exhibition. The regular grid underlying these works allows Cameron to apply colour in a way that is sympathetic to his architectural sensibilities, whilst leaving the upper layers of the works open to flights of fancy and whimsy that are particularly compelling from close range. The images are bright and fresh, while the subject matter represents the artist’s broad range of interests across art and popular culture.
The Taralga Fun Ferret Races
For the third year running the Annual Taralga Fun Ferret Races will be held on the 12th of October 2024 at the Taralga Sports Club.
This is a fund raising event where net proceeds from the naming of Ferrets, sponsorship of a race and the auctioneering of each Ferret in each race, will be donated to the Children’s Medical Research Institute, via the Goulburn and Surrounds Committee.
Fylla
Φυλλα | Fylla | Leaves
Michelle Atzemis
Fylla is a Greek word meaning leaves, so in naming her show, Michelle pays respect to both her origins and her love of these universal emblems of the natural world. The works include both painted and embroidered surfaces. We are so excited to debut her work in this first show of many!
Opening event: Saturday 7th September 12 midday. All welcome
