13 September - 22 September 2002
The Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery i s pleased to present this year's Masters of Fine Arts graduate exhibition: Dogwood. This is an excellent opportunity to view the work of five emerging artists whose practices explore the mediums of painting\, photography\, vi deo and installation. An illustrated catalogue will be available.
In a city made famous for photographs\, Sean Alward examines the current possibilities of painting. His oil on wood board works juxtapos e artifice and order with notions of primal nature.
In The Next Cabin (2000—2002)\, Gavin Hipkins exhibits photographic fragmen ts of sites not always pictured in travel brochures of the North American W est Coast.
Tim Lee's video installation and two phot ographic panels use the strategy of the sight gag to stage humorous plays o n the notion of the amateur comedian and musician.
Natasha Mc Hardy disrupts the clean white cube of the modernist gallery space with an installation\, a mockumentary and a suite of images united with a common material: bubble gum.
In her project entitled Erewhon (Nowhere ) (2001—2002)\, Ann Sheltonpresents a series of photograph s that infuse images of uncertain or unknown sites with uncanny resonance.< /p>
