March Arts & Culture Out & About Ballarat green thumbs rang in the new year late in January to work with artists Melinda Muscat and Bianca Patetl to create their own unique Vertical Gardens that went on to beautify & green the Backspace area through February. Ballarat Arts Alive also kicked off a new year of creative programming with the inaugual Art Bus On The Road, touring to the studios of artists Liz Blizzard, Paul Blizzard, Dawn Whitehand & Hap Haywood Victorian Poetry Slam Champion Abe Nouk (RIGHT) and local songwriters Paige Duggan and Arkie T Williams presented a spoken word workshop for community members in preparation for the 27 February Ballarat Backyard Tasters Spoken Word feature with Abe Nouk.

More Arts & Culture Out & About And FANTASTIQUE was the operating word when Ms. POD installed her newest exhibition Plastique Fantastique, opening at Unicorn Lane Gallery on 5 March. ARTeFACT Newsletter City of Ballarat Arts & Culture March 2015 2 Arts & Culture Still At It The ContainART Mobile Gallery began another great year of bringing cutting-edge contemporary art to the hinterlands, following a display of curator Julie Collins’ personal art collection with a show of work by Joanne Linsdell in nearby Dean, adjacent to the iconic Dean Hall. And Congratulations are in order for Public Art Coordinator Julie Collins & partner Derek John, whose Evidence Based Research (seen recently in these pages) won the Family Choice Award at the recent Monalto Sculpture exhibition. Congratulations, too, to Niki Lakerink and all of the volunteer artists & hands who brought a taste of Paris & New York to Ballarat with Collidescope - Art Meets Fashion, a collaboration between visual artists & fashion designers. Showcasing the incredible talent at work across out region, Collidescope was presented in association with the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival - and all of Ballarat will be able to experience the beauties of Collidescope when highlights of the project are featured as part of the Ballarat Begonia Festival. Open Monument by John Young Ground has broken at Len T Frazer Reserve for Public Art’s largest commission to date - a contemporary installation honouring the contributions of the Chinese community to the growth & development of Ballarat. A partnership between Ballarat City Council and Sovereign Hill - and considerable support from Chinese communities both here & in Melbourne - has made this project possible. ARTeFACT Newsletter City of Ballarat Arts & Culture March 2015 3 images that are more than the simple representation of a person or a place. Drawing on her own life experiences, Nathalie Saldumbide’s portraits seem to take a philosophical and highly subjective position. Some employ a metaphoric darkness denoting gravity; others employ a joie de vivre demonstrating a growing confidence of existing through art. Ian Kemp uses photography to explore his new home in Ballarat as well as places visited in his travels, creating landscapes that evoke mystery as well as an emotional response to settings only previously dreamed about. His landscapes and his portraits are both more than a simple representation of features, revealing character that is both specific to the subject and of a universal appeal. Faces & Places formally opens Friday, 27 February from 6 - 8pm in association with the Ballarat Backyard Tasters. All welcome! Backspace Gallery is always proud to present work by some of our region’s most skilled & best known artists – and even more excited to serve as handmaiden to the debut of new artists onto the local scene. Faces & Places (26 February - 15 March) is one such opportunity, introducing the work of emerging photographers Nathalie Saldumbide and Ian Kemp. In a literal sense, Faces & Places can be seen as a series of portraits and landscapes. But it is more than that – the work reflects places in time; places in the artists’ life experiences that are highly significant for them and which mark moments of self-discovery and self-knowledge. Through their work, Nathalie and Ian examine the emotional space evoked by their subjects. They explore mood and give emphasis resulting in For information regarding Backspace Gallery contact Deborah Klein [email protected] ARTeFACT Newsletter City of Ballarat Arts & Culture March 2015 4 2015 Exhibition Program Faces & Places 26 February - 15 March Photographic portraits and landscapes by Ian Kemp & Nathalie Saldumbide.

For more information contact Deborah Klein [email protected] ARTeFACT Newsletter City of Ballarat Arts & Culture March 2015 5 Working a range of mediums & techniques, artist Frances Guerin explores the enduring presence of the Celts in Central Victoria in her new exhibition The Oran Mor, in Backspace Gallery from 19 - 29 March. The myth of Oran Mor is that of the great melody that gave birth to all creation. Through works that are by turn figurative and abstract, whimsical and dark, Guerin reflects the sense of ancient mystery at the heart of Celtic culture. Guerin sourced many traditional myths in developing ideas for this collection of work. The Oran Mor offers some new manifestations of the artist’s signature kangaroo people alongside vaguely mystical sculptures fashioned from tree branches. Drawings reference the lure of gold that drew people from all over the world to this region - as well as the seam of gold that lives within the ancestral stories of the Celts. Mounted in conjunction with the City of Ballarat’s 2015 Harmony Fest, The Oran Mor is an examination of the universal experiences of people leaving their ancestral homes for life in a new and strange land. Guerin’s intent is to invite the viewer to listen to the silence of the space. Nostalgia permeates the works, speaking of a love for the original home and a feeling of sadness for its loss. The Oran Mor illustrates how culture is celebrated even as some of the details become less substantial with the passage of time. But even as the particulars fade, the sense of identify whether based on direct experience or imagination - endures. ARTeFACT Newsletter City of Ballarat Arts & Culture March 2015 6 Ballarat Pahiyas Backspace Gallery 19 - 29 March Backspace Gallery continues its collaboration with the City of Ballarat Harmony Fest this March, featuring a very special installation created by the artist Diokno Pasilan in partnership with kids from the Ballarat YMCA Summer Holiday Program & members of our active Filipino community. Using massed colour & pattern (and scores of recycled plastic milk cartons donated from across Ballarat), Diokno transforms the outside perimeter of Backspace Gallery into walls of riotously festive decoration known as Pahiyas in his native Philipines. An internationally-recognised artist & performer, Diokno Pasilan is also renowned for his work creating collaborative community art projects. He & partner Ruth Graham presented Harmony Fest workshops through January with the YMCA kids, as well as a series of facilitated community workshops. And visitors to Harmony Fest can contribute to the growing Ballarat Pahinya by making & adding their own decorated pieces to the Backspace installation. 2015 Harmony Fest Ballarat Pahiyas Workshop Backspace Gallery - Alfred Deakin Place Sunday, 22 March 11am - 4pm ARTeFACT Newsletter City of Ballarat Arts & Culture March 2015 7 Words & Pictures Neville Hiatt Through March Poetry, photographs & publications by the Bard Of Ballarat Precious Pieces Barry Wemyss Through April Delicate new ceramic works Civic Hall - The People’s Hall Through June Artefacts from the Civic Hall’s 60 years Photographic Paraphenalia Silvi Glauttauer Through August & September Vintage & antique photographic equipment Have you got a curious collection or clutch of small works you’d like to share?

The short answer is that Dave is expanding his horizons by returning to his foundations in the performing arts; the more nuanced response is that he is seeking a lifestyle change that allows him to enjoy his very catholic interests while looking after his health. Ballarat born, Dave has been on the scene around town almost as long as most can remember. A fixture with the early BRRRR Theatre Group, he soon became equally inseparable from the experience of the dearly-beloved-deeply-lamented Grainery Lane, where he was a veritable fundraising tyro. Developing the Accessing Arts radio program, he then became a familiar Wednesday evening wireless visitor and indefatigable opening night guest for a decade, interviewing everyone who was anyone or doing anything creative around town. “Leaving Accessing Arts was the hardest decision I ever made,” Dave says. “It was my idea, my baby, and I raised it to be what it was.” It was also a great education in the arts for Dave, rich with conversations, personalities and lots of insider gossip. But with that behind him, Dave Knowles is looking to the future with his usual energy and ambition. He continues as Vice President of Ballarat Arts Alive and hopes to expand the group’s realm to include more performing arts. He is mastering the art of FaceBook, and is in discussion with a local organisation about establishing a mentor program for artists with disabilities. Dave Knowles is also on the hunt for volunteer opportunities. So if you’ve got a project that needs someone with enthusiasm, fundraising nous and great connections with the creative end of town – Who You Gonna Call?
