From Where We Stand
This exhibition contrasts some of the Artbank collection's classical landscape paintings against new works created by six Australian contemporary artists. Each artist's practice is varied, creating a collection of responses that explore their personal perspective and its relationship to experience. From Where We Stand explores how artists meditate over the world and then portray it, examining the inseparable relationship between perspective, experience and physicality.
Glebe Artisans Market
Glebe Artisans Market is all about handmade and local products, sold by the artist or designer who created them. The quarterly market takes place at Foley Park and there’s usually around 50 stallholders selling jewellery, plants, furniture, fashion and children’s toys. Stallholders are likely to change each season, but previous markets have championed the wares of Parva Skincare, Mona-Lisa Ceramics, and hand printed cushions from Bob Window.
James Cameron – Challenging the Deep
Film director James Cameron is best known for his blockbusters Titanic and Avatar, but he’s also an avid deep sea explorer who has led eight major expeditions – including the first ever solo dive in the Mariana Trench, 11km below the waves. Mr Cameron himself opened the exhibition at the Australian National Maritime Museum, which showcases his history-making expeditions and blockbuster films.
