Ham Darroch is a regional artist dividing his time between Canberra and Young and whose work ranges across various mediums including drawing, painting, sculpture and performance.
Through his travels and work as an assistant to British artist Bridget Riley over the past eight years, Ham has developed an intimate understanding of colour.
Ham paints geometric compositions that he imbues with perceptible movement of the picture plane through a masterful understanding of colour disruption. He also uses this vibrating colour technique on his sculptures of everyday domestic objects transforming them from their humble status into poetic and sensitive experiences.
His in-situ wall painting can be seen evolving on the gallery walls throughout the exhibition.

Opening 26 July at 6.30 (following Courage to Care Opening) By Cheryl O'Connor School Education Director for Goulbur nand the Highlands with performances from Bradfordville Public School Chior.
Courage to Care is an anti-bullying, anti-discrimination and anti-racism travelling exhibition/ program aimed at promoting racial tolerance, harmony and understanding. Our message - that each person can make a difference - is contextualised in contemporary terms, to show that each of us can act when confronted by discrimination, racism, prejudice and bullying. The exhibition is based on stories of the brave people who put their lives - and their family's lives - at risk to rescue Jews during the Holocaust, an extreme and unfortunately real example of discrimination. The exhibition also has a large educational component including tours and Holocaust Survivor's talks.

Walking at Weereewa Practice led research in process – Space 2
An exhibition of 2D and 3D works on paper by candidate for a Master of Philosophy at ANU, Lynne Flemons.
Mapping the ephemeral landscape of Weereewa/Lake George through traces and fragments, means walking on its surface and engaging with conversations about the land and land use practices. Layers of meaning are brought to this place by different cultural practices and through geological changes that have created the present form of the lake.
The transformation of elements and fragments found on the lake bed are recorded in the process of looking from far to near, from looking to the horizon, to looking down; a spatial recording of my experience of walking at Weereewa.

Recent works by 6 prominent regional artists.
This group of artists, linked mostly by their proximity to Goulburn, has been given the freedom to present work with no restricting themes and only a deadline – the exhibition opening. This has created an exhibition where the inspiration for the works is particular to each artist and works in different media and different styles are displayed together. Often, an artist's best work happens when he or she has complete liberty to express themselves.
Opening Saturday 25 September at 2pm by Elizabeth Charles followed by a Panel Discussion with the artists. All welcome.

Passion and art are synonymous. Such is the case with collector Silvana Corsaro. Her love for the work of Janet Dawson has resulted in this fine collection emphasising the artist's later works. Janet Dawson acquired historical importance in Australia in the 1960s pioneering the international style of colourfield painting.
As one of only three women painters in the seminal The Field exhibition 1968, her understanding of tonal qualities has not faltered. This collection of works over the last 10 years show her return to figuration, something that was always present in even her more abstract work. These works reflect her environment at Binalong where she lives with her husband, Michael Boddy. Her observation remains just as keen as she walks her dog Bonnie in the crisp early morning, the sun rising to reveal mists not yet dispersed.
Janet Dawson's happy positing between abstract and figuration, light and tone present her as one of Australia's major artists.
Janet Dawson is represented by Stella Downer Fine Art

With works drawn from the collections of GRAG, several other regional galleries and private owners, this exhibition looks back over some of Australia's still life artists, as far as eighty years ago and right up to the present day. Still life studies have taught many students the art of observation; from very representational work through to abstract portrayals it is also very often the composition or an artist's skill in arranging the objects in the work which make it beautiful.
With a range of artists including Grace Cossington Smith, Alison Rehfisch, Brian Dunlop, Pam Tippett and Angus McDonald, this exhibition shows the variety of techniques and styles used by Australian artists in this genre.
Opening Friday 14 December at 6pm

Come to your Senses examines multi-sensory experiences for people of all ages and abilities. Most art depends on the sense of sight in order to understand and enjoy the aesthetic experience. It has been well documented that people learn in various ways, including kinaesthetic learning where touch is of utmost importance. Young children begin their learning journey through touch as they develop an understanding of the world around them. Why is art primarily a visual experience? How can art be made accessible to a wider audience? Often art practices involve the tactile but they are not accessible, we believe art can be "seen" in many ways and we would like to show our audiences how this can be explored.

So we decided to find a group of artists who work with the Kitchen theme: pots, pans, utensils, white goods, wrapping, eating, just drawing, painting or sculpting associated kitchen things and bring you this eclectic mix of media? From the delightful and surprising to plain old weird, you will find it in Kitchenalia.

On one level, the works of Janet Dawson and Merrick Fry couldn't be more different; one friend lives in the country, the other in the city but on another, they are both dealing with the found materials of their Everyday and finding renewed beauty in what others might dismiss. Janet exquisitely draws out the beauty of a dead hare, a beetroot or a scattering of apples. Merrick's domestic-scale sculptures are constructed from the disowned or vintage glass and plastic ware discarded by our consumer-driven society.

One of the oldest traditions of instrument making is that of the Luthier. The violin in particular, today exists in the same body shape as it did in the C16th. This intimate studio-style exhibition looks into the workings of the Luthier's studio - from tools and templates to the final product which in its form and function, straddles two strands of the arts: music and visual arts.

Between Goulburn and Canberra lies the spectacular landscape at Lake George where the colour of the land shifts and flickers under a big dramatic sky. Full of drama and air this landscape was of particular visual and symbolic interest to Canberra bases artist Rosalie Gascoigne.
Lake George looms large in the artist inner imaginings and her formal sensibility was partly honed through driving through the landscape on the search for materials - "Driving in the country was drawing for her...."
Lake George was a place she often came back to as subject and it appears with regularity throughout her oeuvre from the early Feathered Fence and Pale Landscape through to later panel works where the imagery and components are stripped down to geometric, worn fields of tonal grays, whites and silver as if lit by the "daylight moon", mentioned by poet David Campbell and like the landscape too, her work has a spare intense sincerity.
The Daylight Moon is to be exhibited at goulburn.art REGIONAL GALLERY and will focus exclusively on the body of work made in response to Lake George and surrounds, highlighting the artists close links to this space; its agricultural history and the elements of deep time, weather and geography that shape both the land and the artist sensibility.

To say these photographs were without meaning individually would be untrue. It is their collusion however that has given them greater significance. It was late in 2015, sometime after the fact, that I understood their connection and have been able to identify the world within a world that I constructed around myself and this world still exists. This works was executed during a period when my life was fragmented at best. It was a time when the present had been consumed by the past. These photographs are a document of my place in the greater world both physically and emotionally during that time.

Back to Burra Bee Dee is a photographic portrayal of the history and development of a 'parcel of land' that was bequeathed to the Aboriginal people living in and around the township of Coonabarabran in western New South Wales. One of these people and an early advocate for Aboriginal rights was Mary Jane Cain, the great, great grandmother of the artist, Warwick Keen. Warwick is a Kamilaroi artist and TAFE teacher based in the Shoalhaven area.

This exhibition of photographs by Mark Tedeschi represents his profile and award winning photographic practice over the last twenty five years. His images are enigmatic, humorous, and deep with subtle meaning and the exhibition covers his many series which range from insightful portraits of prominent Australian artists; his compassionate view of the Aboriginal urban communities of Redfern in the 1980's, domestic interiors and everyday scenes from the streets of Italy, China and New York and Australian outback characters. Most intriguing are the images that capitalise on his unique position as both artist and Senior Crown Prosecutor for New South Wales, in which he reveals a rare insight into the cloistered world of the justice system and the personalities who work within it.

Speaking Colours is an exhibition which highligths the numerous Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language groups in two main ways: by presenting works by artists from different language or clan groups; and through works which refer to the artist's indigenous language including those with an indigenous language title and those which incorporate text or symbols. Language is a significantly important part of any person's culture. All languages contain idioms which can be linked back to the traditions of the people who have developed them and which don't translate or translate directly into another language. Many Aboriginal languages have been lost but there is recognition of the need to preserve and learn those which remain and art, as another means of communication, can also represent and emphasise the message.

Different Cloth/Common Threads presents works completed over the past couple of years by David Jensz and Wendy Teakel. It explores the differences and common groups within their established and unique approaches to sculpture. Both repurpose materials. Jensz often looks towards modular materials and is known for how he shapes and manipulates unexpected ready-mades, exploring the interconnected nature of energy, matter and life. Teakel seeks to utilise the history of her found materials and focuses on assemblage as her process, questioning relationships between natural and cultural spaces with particular reference to rural and landscape settings.

Michelle Doherty is a photographic artist who reflects on the concept of identity and place in her practice. While living in Goulburn, she was drawn to the ecclesiastical giant laid bare on the top of a hill. Shadows, the light that played off broken glass and a sense of prescience compelled her to look for the traces of home that remain in a place left behind so long ago. Each time she visited the foundling orphanage, it presented itself differently - showing off its grand staircase proudly in the morning sun and in contract the primitive laundry and boiler room a reminder of six decades worth of winters illuminated through the tiny shards of light, surrounded by a profound sense of belonging among sturdy blue spruce trees.
Where vandalism competed for pride of place, she was compelled to look past the deterioration and attempted to visually restore grace to the E.C Manfred-designed architecture through a series of images before the fire and since. The viewer is invited to look past the destruction and find the subtle sense of composure that remains in the Goulburn Boys' Home.

Australia's premier rock photographer, Tony Mott, has captured all aspects of the rock'n'roll lifestyle through his camera lens. An untrained photographer, he got his break with a photograph of Chrissy Amphlett, lead singer of Divinyls. Mott went on to have over 30,000 photographs published in 20 countries and his images have appeared on 400 posters and the covers of 500 CD's and more than 900 magazines. Mott was the photographer bands asked for and his portfolio features everyone from the Rolling Stones to members of the local independent band scene. From candid portraits to awe-inspiring live shots, Mott has a unique ability to connect with his subject.

Three Ways showcases the recent work of three artists whose aesthetic explorations are concerned with the Australian landscape in which they live and work. The Three Ways of the title refers not only to the aesthetic and conceptual approaches of the artists but also to the various means to choose to visualise their imaginative creations: Bot is a printmaker, painter and sculptor: Buchanan is a painter, printmaker and drawer and McIntyre is a ceramicist.

Ros Auld (ceramics) and Claire Primrose (painting) are both concerned with expressing an authentic connection with their natural world. Auld's works aims to express both the strength and fragility of nature using materials from the earth, with an interplay between monumental forms and delicate surfaces. Primrose's work is inspired and informed by many different locations within the Australian landscape with an interest in recreating the surfaces, textures and colours evocative of a particular place.
This exhibition of individual and collaborative works brings together two artists who share a similar sense of expressive gestural qualities in their work.

Her largest and most ambitious undertaking to date, The Curtain Breathed Deeply will seduce visitors into and through a series of hypnotic sets and video installations abounding in cacophony and sensory overload.

ARTEXPRESS is a joint initiative of the NSW Department of Education and the NSW Education Standards Authority with goulburn.art REGIONAL GALLERY
ARTEXPRESS 2017 brings the next generation of artist superstars to Goulburn. The exhibition will present over thirty of the very best of the HSC Visual Arts candidates working across a broad variety of artforms including painting, ceramics, photography and textiles.
The works in this year's show indicate not only the extraordinary technical skill and ability but a maturity well beyond what is expected of a 17 year old in handling challenging and sometimes confronting concepts. These young artists will present us with some colossal social, political and environmental issues and offer a generous and courageous insight into their own experiences. The exceptional standard of the work in ARTEXPRESS is testament to the high quality of teaching within the visual arts in High Schools across the state.
Goulburn's ARTEXPRESS exhibition has been carefully curated by Gallery staff to include young artists from the region. The works have been chosen to reflect the statistics from the candidature across NSW representing students from most regions in the state from both Government and Private schools. If ARTEXPRESS is indicative of the burgeoning visual arts sector in NSW, the future for the arts looks bright!

VAST is Robyn Mayo's visual record of her travels through central Australia between 1996 and 2013 when she visited Arnhem Land, the Gulf Country, the central desert areas of Rainbow Valley, Chambers Pillar, The Painted Desert, The Simpson Desert, Lake Eyre and the Flinders Rangers. The resulting works consist both of landscapes and of intimate flora and fauna studies made at each campsite.
Originally from the Southern Tablelands and now Tasmanian-based, Mayo's renderings of plants are impressionistic rather than literal and she does not regard herself as a true botanical artist. She chooses to work plein air in order to feel the changing moods of landscapes and observe how plants, animals, insects and birds react throughout the day.

This exhibition will reveal sculptures that represent a liminal space between a sense of place and one of being lost. Scott Chaseling will present art works relating to Heterotopia (a place between Utopia and Dystopia).
Through the use of glass and mirrors, this exhibition will demonstrate that it is possible to establish a liminal space that consists only of a state of becomingness. Liminality, in this application, is characterised by the unsuspecting, abstraction and innocence.
The sculptures and wall works reveal a point of transition, either through materials that are in a liminal process or by exploiting the viewer's visual perception. This temporal shift of reading, along with a change in material expectations, will allow the viewer to participate with the sculpture via the introduction of their own interpretation/s.

Twenty years ago I lived in Gundaroo: a small village north of Canberra. I spend many hours with some of the older residents of the village. I would visit regularly with my camera recording both them and their homes. Homes that were old and lived in. Homes that told stories of families, history, place and country Australia. Matt Crowe, the local publican was born in this house more than 80 years before.
Time appeared to stand still in the rooms, although now these rooms no longer exist. The inhabitants have died and with time the rooms have been modernised and renovated.
This exhibition of images of place recall a time in Australia's recent past.

An exhibition of contemporary prints responding to artists from previous generations who have had connections with the Southern Tablelands region between Sydney and Canberra.
The 25 printmakers each chose a different artist as the starting point from their work. Choices ranged from the possum skin cloaks crafted by the original aboriginal inhabitants of the area, to colonial artists such as Joseph Lycett, to some of the greats of Australian art - Lloyd Rees, Arthur Boyd, Fred Williams and Brett Whiteley, as well as photographers such as Frank Hurley, ceramic artist Gwen Hanson-Piggot, sculptors Tom Bass and Bert Flugelman and assemblage artist Rosalie Gascoigne.
The resulting prints brought together in this exhibition are as wide-ranging and diverse as the work of the artists who inspired them.

Annual exhibition celebrating International Day of People with a Disability. Offical opening Friday 1 December at 1.30pm
A retrospective exhibition celebrating the life work of Yidumduma Bill Harney. At over 80 years of age, Harney is one of the last fully initiated elders of the Wardaman people. He is a charismatic storyteller and artist and the only remaining living custodian of the collective memory, laws and history of his people. Harney's knowledge has been described by anthropologists as 'encyclopedic in nature' and his artwork is one way that he shares this intimate understanding with the world.

Sauced Material brings together a group of artists who extend the narrative or form of existing media. Their works have been shaped, moulded and crafted from film, music, personal histories and literature but with flavour anew and enhanced. This adaptive approach orients audiences to and from a new point of orbit in reference to the work. Memory is at play - but so is the politics of origin and ownership.
Within the breadth of time that has passed between the first and the now, a clear history has been created. These artists reveal that distance in their own remaking. Their approaches differ but the commentaries and techniques are crystallised and ready for service.

Montages: The Full Cut, 1999-2015 presents the full suite of eight montage films by artist Tracey Moffatt and her long-time collaborator Gary Hillberg. Exhibited all together for the first time, these works span 16 years of their collaborative practice, from the first montage work created in 1999 to the latest in 2015.
Montages: The Full Cut, 1999-2015 is an ode to cinema and to the cinematic form, offering unprecedented insight into the stereotypes that populate our collective cultural imagination. Mining an extensive colelction of iconic Hollywood films, telemovies and arthouse cinema, Montages: The Full Cut, 1999-2015 invents new fictions and plays with narrative and character conventions to create highly charged compositions on polemic themes such as love, art, revolution and destruction.
Montages: The Full Cut, 1999-2015 was curated and developed by Artspace, Sydney and is touring nationally in partnership with Museums & Galleries of NSW

Arlo Mountford's practice brings large scale interactive installations paired with sound, video and animation to the gallery. His work assaults our individual and collective memories of all things art history through the lens of the contemporary. Amusing, strange and laden with references, his films engage the darker side of our political and social histories through the construct of the art institution and the seminal works held within. This survey exhibition brings together several video works stitching together a lesson in time, place and art history and shows a gradual distillation and culmination of his ideas to date.
Mountford completed a major commission for the National Gallery of Victoria in 2013 and at the Australian War Memorial in 2012. Many of the works shown at Goulburn Regional Art Gallery will be exhibited in NSW for the first time.

The 2017 Archibald Prize exhibition will be open Monday to Friday 9 - 5 and Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm - 4pm
Building on Young's award winning 'Grassy Woodlands' series this exhibition re-imagines 19th century human experience in light of Australian mammals that have become vulnerable or extinct. Young explores the question of who inhabits the woodlands across time through still life photographs of mammals, plants, insects and artefacts. Inspired by the work of ecologists Young set out to find intact grassy woodlands, the wildflowers within, and evidence of animal inhabitation. Her findings are shown in large still-life colour photographs and a series of cyanotypes.
In early, 2018, during her Creative Arts Fellowship at the National Library of Australia, she sought to learn more about the mammals that once so abundantly inhabited the woodlands of Eastern Australia. Her key reference was the exquisitely illustrated book, 'The Mammals of Australia', published in 1863 by naturalist John Gould. Upon arrival to Australia Goulburn found himself,"...to be surrounded by objects as strange as if I had been transported to another planet". The text and illustrations contained within this book provided the starting point for her studies of woodland mammals using the 19th century photography cyanotype process. Inhabiting the Woodlands is Young's first solo exhibition at Goulburn Regional Art Gallery and will present a new body of work.

ACO Virtual is a world-first interactive installation that places visitors in the middle of a virtual orchestra to experience, conduct, isolate and play along.
ACO Virtual will transform the Gallery and features large scale footage of orchestral performances with the sound of each musician coming from their own individual projection. Audiences will be surrounded with a touch-screen 'music stand' allowing them to spotlight sounds and visuals, highlighting musicians, or a section of players. The score streams below each projection, and s smartphone application provides information about the music, musicians and instruments. With music by Grieg, Bach, Smalley and Piazzolla, visitors will experience music from across the ages with one of the world's greatest chamber orchestras.

'Coarse Stories' is an engagement with ten artists whose work moved through spaces, gathering the experience of their physical, ideological, interior and exterior facets over time. These artists share an awareness of the space they themselves inhabit and too, the space they re-posit in their work. Each is a negotiation of human existence today and explored within the process of a practice (making) and without doubt, living (being). Not one of these artists is limited by their medium, be it canvas, costume, performance or installation rather their work defies finitude through the complex matrix that makes them individual and unique. Like the fierce wind that strikes the streets of Goulburn each Spring, 'Coarse Stories' has swept up many moments from different places, inside n out, kicked each along to gather momentum and settled them down here together. We invite your act of watching, feeling and remembering as an ongoing continuum in the life of each work in 'Coarse Stories'

After Paul Ryan gave his answer on the issue of Libya, hitting the Obama adminstration for a lack of "leadership," Joe Biden hit back, and strongly.
"With all due respect, that's a bunch of malarkey," Biden said. "Because not a single thing he's said has been accurate."
He was responding to Ryan's criticism of the way Obama's administration handled the crisis by initially blaming the YouTube video, and said there should have been better security at the embassy. He added that the situation is "becoming more troubling by the day."
"This Benghazi attack would be a tragedy in and of itself, but unfortunately it's indicative of a larger problem," Ryan said, adding that Obama's policy toward the Middle East is "making the world more chaotic and us less safe."
Biden said Republicans are the ones who would cut embassy funding "$300 million below w hat we asked for." "So much for embassy security," he said.
He also hit the GOP ticket on its too-quick response to the Libya crisis back on Sept. 11.
"Gov. Romney, before he knew the facts, before he even knew our ambassador was killed, he was out making a statement that was panned by media around the world," he said.

Brit b'casters battle over cost of promos
EmptyRelations between Britain's two government-owned broadcasters, the BBC and Channel Four, just got a lot more testy.
The tiff escalated Tuesday after a news report on Four's flagship newscast accused the BBC of wasting public money on program launches.
The report said the BBC had spent £45,000 ($70,000) launching the show "Merlin" to media and buyers at a top London venue and had spent £118,000 ($183,000) this year launching three other shows: "Little Dorrit," "The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency" and "The Passion."
Four's news arm requested the figures under the Freedom of Information Act.
BBC insiders reacted with outrage, saying the cost of the launches is "par for the course" and "something you have to do" when it comes to promoting major dramas.
"We do it, ITV does it, Channel 4 does it," a senior BBC source said. "When you're launching a major international drama, you can't do it for peanuts in a church hall."
A spokesman for the BBC said the broadcaster had cut back the number of its launches to a handful a year.
Four defended the report, saying the BBC was spending "public money," while Four has to operate a commercial business. (partialdiff)

« Day 2 of the Small Victory Telethon | Main | Just Because... »
I remember the Columbia and this anniversary date very well. I know a few astronauts personally, one of whom is a friend and another who is a very good friend. I was watching the Today show that Saturday morning when it was reported that Houston had lost contact with the Columbia… Ten minutes past – nothing. I called my good friend who I knew wasn't on the mission as he was just about to start training for his third trip to space, but I wasn't sure about my other friend.
His wife answered the phone. "Julie, it's Hambone, are y'all watching TV?" She said, no, they were sleeping in. I told her that the Columbia was "missing" and asked to speak to her husband…
"Beamer, Charlie wasn't on the Columbia mission was he?"
"Scorch? No, he's CAPCOM for the mission, but Willie McCool is, know him? '83 grad? What's going on?"
"Beamer, I think the Columbia is… gone." I struggled to find that last word and it still rings poorly in my head.
I wish I would have let him sleep in, as Beamer was Willie's family's Casualty Assistance Officer (something that the military guys started at NASA after the Challenger crash) and didn't get much sleep that month.
Listening to the audio of that last transmission also rings in my head with Charlie's voice:
"Columbia, Houston, UHF comm check"…
"Columbia, Houston, UHF comm check"…
Let's hope we don't forget these brave individuals.
