Exhibitions Calender
STILL time
Artists Sue Boettcher, James McFarlane, Don Rankin and Tricia Ross present new works for S T I L L time.
The Exhibition will be officially opened by former Carrick Hill CEO Richard Heathcote @ 6pm on Thursday, 22 February, 2024.
Celebrating life and beauty, STILL time explores aesthetics of the everyday that transcend the temporalities of Nature Morte tropes. Expanding on art historical themes of Vanitas and Memento Mori, this exhibition includes a contemporary twist with hints of playfulness, levity and revelry.
Sue Boettcher, James McFarlane, Don Rankin and Tricia Ross share a passion for translating 'things' into creative works through the act of drawing, painting, printmaking, photography and/or collage. Their individual endeavours reflect the intuitive choices of subject matter, scale and media that each employs.
The Artists will all be present on opening night, and available to discuss works and their chosen processes in making.

With the benefit of hindsight, the exhibition description for the Fringe guide (penned in August 2019) has proven somewhat prophetic. With weather extremes and multitudinous bushfires, we are indeed witnessing troubled times. The Fringe guide Exhibition page information reads:
'It is the year 2019. In the scheme of human life on earth, things seem rather cosy. But are they really? Are we in a comfortable space - or are we in for a future rocky ride, with extreme weather events and related consequences? Can we take steps to avoid a climate tipping point? This exhibition suggests that we must - 'Because We Cannot Not'.
Tricia Ross is a graduate of Adelaide Central School of Art, and is a PhD candidate in the School of Art Architecture and Design, UniSA. Tricia is interested in the communicative ability of art to raise awareness about the climate crisis. Working across a range of media, Tricia's work celebrates the beauty of the Australian landscape, but reveals an awareness about the fragility of these places in troubled times.'

VEIL
Olympia Antoniadis
Voyeuristic and playful, VCA graduate Artist Olympia Antoniadis allures the viewer into quiet spaces exploring the domestic territories of others. In this series the room acts as a familiar space, intimate and calm expressing the most benign potential of human life. The walls of these interior spaces construct boundaries around the figures, inspiring new narratives and relations. Whilst dividing them from the outside world Antoniadis' simultaneously constructs an internal world of her own. Antoniadis' fixation with fabric lends itself to the moulding and flesh like nature that envelops the human figure, softly moulding forms and provoking a playground of possibilities. Her paintings are often focused on the mundane where common occurrences are shifted and provoked by the figures that emerge
Opening: 23 February 6 - 8pm
View: 24 + 25 February 12 noon - 4pm
And: 2 + 3 + 4 March 12 noon - 4pm,

Opening: 14 September at 6pm- 8pm.
View: Thursday 14- Sunday 17 and Thursday 21 - Sunday 24 September, 12 noon - 4pm.
This is an exhibition of paintings and print works by 8 artists, who have in common the making of works inspired by the land, or the enjoyment and awareness of place or a state of being.
Scapes, anticipates the representation of the physical and metaphysical- in representation or abstraction.
Traditionally, women have not enjoyed equality in exposure in prizes that celebrate landscape. Over its history, only a small number of women have been annointed as winner of art prizes focusing on landscape. For example, the Wynne prize.
Many of the works to displayed are abstractions, or interpretations of place. They are distillations of the essence of the place, or an interpretation of observed elements."

The Ruddy Turnstones continue on their journey of printmaking investigation and response to South Australian country and coast. Seminal to the group’s formation was a desire to collectively immerse themselves in landscape and draw inspiration from the experience. ‘Immersion KI’ in 2014 was their kick-off point. Now presented is ‘Immersion: Fleurieu Peninsula’.
