Photographic technology has a history intertwined with photomontage, making it an excellent medium for challenging ideas around the authenticity of the photographic image. It is the perfect medium for creating images of a photographic nature that are impossible to make using traditional photographic equipment and techniques.

Object (the physical image) is the latest exhibition at the Shutter Room featuring the work of local artists Grant Beran, Maggie Buxton, Lisa Clunie, Sonja van Kerkhoff, Angela Rowe, Chris Schreuder, Ellie Smith & Diane Stoppard. These artists revel in the physical potential of an image - the materiality - the substance - the quality of a surface - the volume/dimension….the ‘thingness’ of their artwork. There is a perception that photography is like a window or a mirror - something we look through and therefore not interesting as a physical art object. This exhibition is a challenge to that notion - we invite you to come in and view the artworks on display and see what you think!

Making the Cut features work by selected 2022 graduates from the very last cohort of the Bachelor of Applied Arts at NorthTec.

The district is my home. Imperceptibly my attitudes softened first to benign tolerance then later to delight at the colour, form, wry observations, fun and laughter found in artworks that were slathered everywhere, over everything.
