in.cube8r gallery
|
|
in.cube8r gallery is a shop/gallery which runs like a long term market. It is open to anyone who makes things by hand and supports all things craft, art and hand-made in Melbourne. The gallery is divided up into glass cubicles, shelves, racks and partitions which artists can lease for a small weekly cost over a three month period. There is no commission on items sold. When Whitehat visited in June2008 we discovered a treasure trove of new upcoming artisans as well as designers like Julie Ughetti, with an international reputation. The work ranges from the quirky to sophisticated and given the diversity of art work on display you appear to be guaranteed to find eclectic original pieces. |

Geelong Mill Markets
|
|
Until recently, this location hosted a large and popular market. That market has relocated to Newcomb (see below). The remaining Geelong Mills Matket now has a large array of retro advertising signs, furniture, and larger and quirky mechanical and industrial equipment. White Hat can recommend this market as a good source for those looking to do a quirky fitout as well as to theatre companies and film-makers looking for genuine period props. It now functions more as a warehouse so give a ring before making a special trip. |

Max Dupain on Assignment
|
|
Max Dupain (1911–92) is
widely considered to be one of Australia’s greatest photographers. The
National
Archives of Australia and the Noel Butlin Archives Centre at the Australian
National University are fortunate to hold in their collections some of the best
examples of his commercial work, a selection of which is presented in this
exhibition.
Reflecting the documentary style for which he was famous, Dupain’s
photographs of Australia after World War II are important records of a changing
society. Most of the images in this exhibition were taken by Dupain while on
assignment for the Australian Government and were used to promote Australia to
domestic and international audiences. Also featured are photographs taken by
Dupain over many years for one of his earliest clients, CSR Limited (then known
as the Colonial Sugar Refining Company Limited).
Dupain’s photographs evoke a strong sense of time and place, from the capital
cities and rural scenes he captured in the 1940s and 1950s, to the striking
images of architecture and industry he produced in the 1960s and 1970s. This
exhibition showcases the diversity and longevity of Dupain’s commercial career,
tracing his development as a photographer and artist during this time.
Gallery open Monday to Friday 10am - 5pm; Saturday and Sunday 12pm - 4pm;
closed Australia Day (Jan 26).
