Film synposis: After hearing about expansive amounts of plastic in every major ocean, Port Phillip Baykeeper Neil Blake finds the sands of his local beaches are turning into a kind of micro-plastic confetti. In his journey to measure how far the age of plastics has invaded the bay, Neil discovers a growing community striving to protect Port Phillip's health for generations to come. Date: Monday 4 November Time: 6.30pm for 7pm screening Venue: Beachcomber Cafe, Jacka Boulevard, St Kilda Cost: Free Entry Please book so we have an idea of numbers: http://www.trybooking.com/ DUKJ

Excitement is in the air….

New Show-Memoire de Vie Gently but surely the artworks  is coming together   for my long awaited solo exhibition  at The Alliance Française   51 Grey St  St Kilda The 'Eildon Gallery'   is situated in the ballroom in the grand mansion  and offers an opportunity to set up works in 2 different areas This show is exiting for me as I am bringing together the full spectrum of my multi-disciplinary practice  in one single venue. 'Mémoire de Vie’   exhibits   the extent of my passion for  painting abstract painting realism  assemblage sculpture  &  installation  As an artist participating in a show means that you may be able to enter only one or two works. While this is a great all worth while and the artist may target only one stream of work from their own practice, it is also wonderful to be invited to have the opportunity to bring it all under one roof. Some challenges of courses came across this pursuit (and am sur

Found Black Plastic Installation

The Great Mother Goddess 2013 'Creative SustainAbility' 27.05.13 - 26.06.2013 @ St Kilda Town hall My work is created from rubbish washed up on our local beaches. The Jellyfish tentacles are filled with an array of everyday junk polluting our ocean and beaches. I collect objects found locally and use them to create awareness in what is left behind.   The sheer amount of plastic was a catalyst in my research and interest in sustainability.  The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (7th continent) was paramount in my decision to pursue this pressing issue in my art practice.

Oceans

Image
Oceans is a 2009 film by Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud, narrated by the handsome Pierce Brosnan. Although you can only hear him. It took 4 years to film all the material needed to make 'Oceans'. Watching this documentary is music to our ears and a total and absolute pleasure to watch. I highly recommend it for all young and older public. Below are some exerts of the commentary read by Pierce Brosnan. A little bit at a time new forms of life ripple the waters of the world, spreading and multiplying adapting and evolving Pollution runs out of rivers spilling (as can be seen by satellite) We have littered the oceans with hundreds of thousands of trash spilling poison around. Sculpture III 2013 Copper and Found Black Plastic Human 'objects' challenge each creature to find new place or new ways to survive. Human indifference is surely the Ocean greatest threat. Every Breath We Take Every Drop We Drink Depends on a Healthy Ocean

Dismantling

There it is the dismantling of a 3 weeks show and we are please and feel that the exhibition Regurgitate. It certainly allowed people to enter our realm of interest, in pausing, for a moment, their thoughts to things they may not have seen, thought of ... or were indifferent to All plastic items in the show were found on the beach Human indifference is the worse thing that can happen and in a way that is  where we have come to in this super fast world The oceans are polluted by our plastic and consumer waste that will never disappear .... until.....  we take responsibility in  create recycling plants through out the world but first thing first,  How about in Australia!!! We need to use less plastic and replace it with items that are made of metal or glass  and that are recyclable  Painting on canvas behind mobile of purified bottles utilised by drug addicts Spoons and lids from drink pop-up bottles And the more responsible thing to do, would be

REGURGITATE Carolyn Cardinet and Janita Ryan The Library Artspace www.thelibraryartspace.blogspot.com Wednesday 06 March 2013 to Saturday 23 March 2013 Opening Wednesday 06 March 2013 6-8pm !!Come and regurgitate!! Carolyn Cardinet and Janita Ryan regurgitate the flotsam and jetsam spewed onto the City of Port Philip shoreline between 2011 and 2012. This gleaned debris is reprocessed, decontextualized from its original purpose and reframed to take on new meaning. Cardinet’s large monochromatic paintings hanging from the gallery’s beams are a strong contrast to Ryan’s miniature egg tempera works.
