Hi,
If you've been skiing during the school holidays, or maybe been on a "winter
sun" break to Queensland, welcome back! What did we do? Went
to Canberra for some time with Family.
Today:
- DFB Review - the short version!
- Holiday snaps
- Congratulations,
London!
Remember, I do value
your feedback.
What's good about this newsletter? And what's dumb? email
me.
DFB Review - the short version!
You may recall that
in a previous issue
I mentioned the Daylesford Foto Biennale. Well, I finally managed to drag
myself along and I'm glad I did.
Of the thirty-odd exhibitions, I guess I managed to see around 15. Particularly
memorable were the huge and moving war-zone photographs of Tim Page, and
by contrast the more easily enjoyed portraits of artists by Robyn Rosenfeldt.
Page's exhibition, entitled "Big Moments" was appropriately
(or should that be incongruously?) exhibited at the Uniting Church. While
I was there, I felt a shiver down my spine, although that may have been
because the inside of the church was so cold I could see my own breath!
The photographs were mostly shot for Time-Life and United Press International,
and are from the Vietnam
War and Six
Day War. Tim's commitment to getting himself where the action is has
seen him injured several times in action.
Robyn Rosenfeldt's "Young Artists In Residence" exhibition was
an opportunity to meet a selection of Melbourne artists and musicians
in their studios or homes. Robyn's style of portraiture of people in their
environment really resonates with me - generally I much prefer it to the
detached and artificial feel that studio photographs often communicate.
