Secluded Isolation Opening, September 4th

The Cultural Centre has re-opened after a winter recess with a fabulous exhibition called Secluded Isolation. Seventy people attended the Launch on Friday, 4th September, with Alison Milsom giving an inspiring opening speech about not only the photographs but how talented the photographers and sound artist are and most importantly how refreshing it is not to have a bunch of old grey haired ladies, but a group of young leaders showing their work. Rohanna Goldsmith, Freja Petersen, Tim Petrovic, Nick Johannsohn, Tim Bale, Tim Bennett, Daniel Hendriks and James Dacosta (James is on his way to Portugal, lucky man!) all worked on all aspects of the exhibition over the past 3 months, and the standard of the exhibition really shows their commitment to their arts practice and their love for the Island. Freja and Rohanna did a magnificent job of catering that I think all who attended would attest to. Exhibition continues until October 9th.

Yiloga! Tiwi Footy Art Exhibition

Chris Barnett, President of the KI football Association, will be opening the exhibition on Friday 5th June, 5.30pm.

You, your families and friends are all welcome.

Yiloga! is an exploration of football and the importance of football

in the life of an Indigenous community.

This exhibition explores the links between sport, culture and art

resonating deeply within the collective Australian psyche.

This series of documentary style photographs deals with the place of footy in Tiwi culture and explores not only the Tiwi communities’ passion for the game of AFL Football but also its positive influence on life in the community.

The colour and excitement of ‘footy’ is captured as well as some of the startling history of the islands over the last 5 years.

. Artback NT is proud to present this touring exhibition with thanks to the Photographer’s for the loan of these works.

The footy season is well underway so why not have a whole weekend of footy with our local footy games on Saturday and come and enjoy this exhibition on Sunday!

40 Degrees Of Separation









James Newitt and Justy Phillips

Through a new multi-screen video work titled 40 degrees of separation, the artists are presenting a collaborative project developed during their 4-week Arts Tasmania Residency at the King Island Cultural Centre in 2008.

The work explores connections between personal histories, ideas of change and an island in transition through the use of video and sound. Using selected community groups as a starting point, such as the CWA, Senior Citizens Association and through community facilities, such as the Grassy Club; the artists undertook an intensive period of research, interviewing over twenty older residents in their homes at various locations around the island. The artists also utilised community platforms such as the King Island Courier and community noticeboards to encourage interested residents to contact them directly, such as invitations to afternoon tea.

As artists, they are interested in the ways in which people relate to each other and to the world in different social and cultural contexts and chose to focus on significant moments of change within the lives of older residents and drew connections between these vastly different experiences. In 40 degrees of separation, they present these as evocative visual portraits of both a generation and a place.

During this residency, they gathered significant video content and production stills, which have been edited and refined to create this new multi-screen video for presentation at the CWA, 5.30 2nd May.
