Proudly presented by Salamanca Arts Centre, (All) Together has its first iteration in Hobart. (All) Together is an open and collaborative project between the local community and artists Ross Coulter, Meredith Turnbull and Roma Turnbull-Coulter, who use photographic portraiture to expand modes and styles of representation of families and communities.

Portraits taken throughout their weekend residency at Salamanca Arts Centre in May, inform a very special exhibition of this photographic series of new and familiar faces.

Dummies Corp offers a circus skills workshop to local communities whilst on tour.

tickets

Each workshop can cater for up to 30 participants ages 6+ and lasts for an hour. Participants don’t need any prior ability and will leave having learnt some of the moves they have seen in the show, creating a strong connection between the performance, the artists and their own experience. 

Some outcomes we hope to achieve through our workshops are:

  • – Skills and fitness development
  • – Confidence and character building
  • – Verbal and Non verbal communication 
  • – Developing working as a team
  • – Developing critical thinking

The workshop, like the show, places great emphasis on creative play and self empowerment for participants to carry this imaginative embodied experience into their lives beyond the workshop. Once we achieve these outcomes once our company has left the participants can continue creation and play which encourages self sustaining creative communities.

We aim to keep a safe and consistent trainer to participant ratio so each individual gets a specialized amount of attention. All our trainers are highly skilled, professional and passionate people.

late for tomorrow, by emerging artist Sevé de Angelis, is a series about love and time, care and frustration. The water, the sky, the wood and the rock.

This is a series of process-based entries that have evolved through the alchemical properties of paint.

A process of morphology gives faces, figure and landscape an ability to rise.

Musings on our environment as an extension of ourselves, John Michell’s book Simulacra; a familiarity of human likeness in nature, and Daevid Allen’s Garden Song with its brief passage on us being an extension of the dreaming planet were the ideas for this series.

At the core, they are about love and time, care and frustration; about living with the water and sky, and the rocks and trees with voices and memories.

Sevé de Angelis is a Tasmanian visual artist. He is from Launceston and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2018 from the University of Tasmania. He lives in Hobart.

The Long Way Home features new original paintings and limited edition prints by Alyce Bailey

“I believe that to long for home, is to be human. It is the ache to be whole, to be known, loved and understood. To be at home with oneself is one of life’s greatest challenges and to be considered someone’s home, one of life’s greatest joys.

For me, home isn’t just a place. It’s those feelings we experience once we’ve found what we have been searching for – whether that’s love, acceptance or peace and it is from these longings that my works have sprung.”
– Alyce Bailey (2022)

Last Dance Orange Roughy depicts the final Australian voyage of the RSV Aurora Australis to the Antarctic continent. The Aurora Australis has been carrying expeditioners and resupply to Antarctica for over 30 years. This final voyage was special in many ways. It departed with COVID-19 just a whisper and returned to a fundamentally changed world. The extra protocols instituted on the ship in response to COVID-19 reinforced the interdependency and collaborative actions of such a tightly knit microcosm, already essential for survival in Antarctica, but with a renewed sense of urgency in the emerging emergency. At that time Antarctica became the last COVID-19 free continent and we had a duty to preserve that status.

Using laser and photogrammetry scans and ambisonic sound recordings of the ship, crew and expeditioners, Last Dance Orange Roughy  presents a virtual experience depicting the intricate choreography of ship and expeditioners. Using an artistic rendering of the ship along with choreographed impressions of the crew and expeditioners, Last Dance Orange Roughy portrays the final voyage as an intricate dance sustaining life.

Last Dance Orange Roughy is an immersive visual and sonic feast of three-dimensional environments and spatial sound visualising and sonifying the last grand Antarctic dance of the Aurora Australis, crew and expeditioners. John McCormick and Adam Nash (Wild System) were the 2020 Australian Antarctic Arts Fellows on the final Australian voyage of the icebreaker Aurora Australis to the Antarctic continent.

John and Adam would like to extend their thanks to all the crew and expeditioners aboard the final voyage of the RSV Aurora Australis to the Antarctic Continent.

Whilst the wearing of masks is not mandatory it is recommended in certain situations by Tasmanian Public Health.  Masks will be available upon entering the venue for those patrons who would like one.

Music, art, costume, VR and film are the tools PARKER uses to implore us to travel through the hallways of her mind in Body of Work. From breaking up to dreaming big her work propels us on a journey that’s a poetic evaluation of liminality. In the waiting rooms of life, potentiality implores us to take a chance, to lament, to wander and to wonder– PARKER is our guide.

Using sound and vision to sculpt and disrupt space, each exhibition in the series reacts explicitly to the architecture in which it is held– no two visits are the same. Each show is incomplete without you, the audience, to participate in this Body of Work.

Jake Walker

Jake Walker was born in New Zealand and moved to Australia in 2000. His practice is inextricably linked to the natural and cultural landscapes of New Zealand. Walker admits that as a child he ‘didn’t really know there were too many other kinds of painting’ aside from landscapes. His works are constantly shifting and revisited after some time, with chance and instinct at the core of his working practice. Sometimes this results in works of ‘weightlessness of accident and incident.’ Exploring themes of modernist architecture and abstract perspectives, Walker’s free and loose sense of play embraces material forms. Walker sees paintings as objects, not flat two-dimensional images. This openness to experimental processes has led to a series of works using clay- painterly forms and stoneware frames that lead from one thing, to another.

He is represented by Station (Melbourne), Gallery 9 (Sydney), Hamish McKay Gallery (Wellington NZ), Ivan Anthony (Auckland) and Dutton (NYC).
