ALL MONTH
Until June 30 (Tuesday-Friday 10am-5pm, Saturday-Sunday 10am-4pm): Swan Hill Regional Art Gallery presents Gods and Heroes by artist Deborah Kelly. Collage, or photomontage, is a humble, low-tech, lo-fi artform just over a century old. In Gods and Heroes, Kelly explores its social life and technological
potential to scale, from epic to intimate. The gallery presents her best-known animation, Gods of Tiny Things, with its dynamite soundtrack and teeming cast of dancing deities. Made from imagery and sounds collaboratively produced in “collage camp” at Bundanon Trust, this alluring, award-winning film has been shown in galleries and cinemas around the world. Accompanying the film are grand collaborative portraits of artists Latai Taumoepeau and Justin Talplacido Shoulder, the silk velvet Floral Clock memorial, a range of analogue collage artworks and a pair of huge linen prints, Crone Cult, which will evolve during the course of the exhibition. Showing works never before presented together, this exhibition articulates a thread of enquiry across the artists’ abiding conceptual and material concerns.
