Welcome! Welcome to our next group of offerings, which is being kicked off by the showing of The 2018 Archibald Prize. It’s a great honour to again be showing this standout exhibition, which in this building also allows us to deliver a range of other exhibitions to sit alongside. We hope that any new visitors to our gallery drawn here by The Archibald Prize, will take the chance to visit again soon. Alongside the new exhibition program, we are also delivering a whole range of other activities including (but not limited to!) an Arts and Dementia program, weekly after school art classes for young people, monthly art tours for kids, our Thursday Night Live! series, as well as Auslan interpretation to increase access, and the introduction of Auslan-led tours for Deaf people — the latter two supported by the Friends of the Gallery and Quota Clubs of Alstonville and Lismore respectively. The reality that we tend to be at audience capacity for most programs we deliver, is a stark illustration of how quickly our community has embraced this facility — and to that end I thank you for your support.

The 2018 Archibald Prize
Paperbark Lionel Bawden
18 April – 16 June 2019 | Galleries 1, 2 & 4
6 April – 12 May 2019 | Gallery 3 Awarded to the best painting of a notable Australian, The Archibald Prize is a who’s who of Australian culture, from politicians to celebrities and from sporting heroes to artists.
Lionel Bawden’s new solo exhibition continues the artist’s fascination with the forms of nature taking the tree as both conceptual focus and material form.
Prestigious and controversial, The Archibald Prize is Australia’s foremost portraiture prize, awarding $100,000 prize money for the winning artist.
The Paperbark is a most fertile motif for a life in continual flux, where damage and vitality flourish side by side and realms of experience are revealed as layers of bark are shed. Core to the artist’s reverence for trees and forests is a deep awareness of his consumption of tree simultaneous to creation, fallen trees seeding artworks of paper and wood.
In its 97th year, The Archibald Prize has been held annually since 1921. An open competition, it is judged by the trustees of the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Entries to The Archibald Prize must be painted in the past year from at least one live sitting. The Gallery will be launching Auslan led tours, by tour guide and native Auslan speaker Sigrid Macdonald, during the Archibald Prize, and will then continue monthly. Contact the Gallery for details.
In a world before emails and text messages, the heart often spoke through the hand written word, sent on a page of paper across vast distances, a tradition Bawden actively continues. These new works offer various forms of intimate exchange — between artist and his loved ones / between artist and the viewer, articulating the value of paper and a paradoxical tenderness toward fallen tree, having allowed such transmissions. The exhibition has been created during Bawden’s residency at Lismore Regional Gallery in The Binns Artist Studio and is activated by a conversation with the large Paperbark tree outside the studio and exhibition gallery windows.
Auslan-led tours supported by Alstonville and Lismore Quota Clubs

Fighting not Dancing Scott Harrower
Official Opening FRI 17 MAY, 6PM
Object Therapy
Official Opening FRI 5 JUL, 6PM
22 June – 11 August 2019 | Gallery 1
18 May – 30 June 2019 | Gallery 3 Fighting not Dancing is a photographic and sound installation addressing homophobic violence against men who love men. Scott Harrower’s practice-led research investigates both personal and historical stories that have been denied and/or forgotten; such as the persecution of non-binary convict and early pioneer relationships, post WWll police brutality committed against gays and multiple unsolved murders that were fuelled by AIDS hysteria of the mid 1980-90s. Through the prism of a violent attack at The Fairground, the artist’s narrative has no ending; rather it poses further questions about religious fervour and the right to discriminate against ‘Others’. The work includes an orchestral collaboration with New York Composer, Ron Nahass.
In May 2016, 29 broken objects were submitted by members of the public to a team of repair researchers in Canberra before undergoing ‘therapy’. Items of furniture, ceramics, household appliances, textiles, jewellery, sentimental objects and even one human, were all treated and reimagined by noted Australian and international designers and artists including Trent Jansen, Liam Mugavin, Henry Wilson and Alison Jackson. In transforming these loved but broken items into objects of delight and surprise, Object Therapy showcases innovative design solutions while exploring the attachments we form with objects. A project by:

Object Therapy is a project by Hotel Hotel, developed in collaboration with UNSW Art & Design and ANU School of Art and Design, presented by Australian Design Centre with assistance from the Australian Government’s, Visions of Australia program.

Eesti Jay-Dea Lopez
Official Opening FRI 5 JUL, 6PM
22 June – 25 August 2019 | Gallery 2 Eesti is a video work consisting of field-recordings and photographs taken over a number of weeks in the village of Mooste, Estonia. Arriving at the beginning of winter the incongruous sounds and sights of Mooste initially stimulated the artist’s senses. Relics from the colonial Soviet-era stood alongside traditional Estonian residences; forests stood beside barren winter farmland. However the weight of Mooste’s colonial history and its dark northern winter gradually became oppressive. The lowfrequencies emanating from local objects began to reflect the harsh surrounds. Through the use of sound and image Eesti explores our emotional response to location and is a study into the psycho-geographic construction of “place”.
Gesture of Balance Grant Vaughan
Official Opening FRI 5 JUL, 6PM
6 July – 8 September 2019 | Gallery 3 Grant Vaughan’s work belies our expectations of worked timber. Characterised by a gestural interplay of smooth, rolling forms and juxtaposed with sharp flowing lines and edges, the work is made using a meticulous reductive process. Taking inspiration from the organic forms of natural objects, it offers an impression of growth and honours the inherent beauty of wood. Vaughan has worked in the Lismore area (from his Rock Valley studio) for over thirty years. His work is represented in many public and private collections including the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; Parliament House Art Collection, Canberra; Power House Museum, Sydney and Museum of Fine Art, Boston. Grant Vaughan has exhibited in Australia, the United State and in the United Kingdom, but this is his first solo exhibition in the Northern Rivers.

Idle Worship 17 August – 13 October 2019 | Gallery 1
Official Opening FRI 16 AUG, 6PM
The Dark Sublime Emma Walker
Official Opening FRI 13 SEP, 6PM
31 August – 20 October 2019 | Gallery 2 Idle Worship explores contemporary notions of reverence, worship and idolisation. The exhibition, curated by Natalie Bull & Zoë Robinson-Kennedy, focuses on personal manifestations and our need to look beyond the celestial and seek comfort in everyday deities and new-age idols.
Intricate and far-reaching networks of communication and exchange occur beneath our feet. Worlds of relationship, chatter, barter and life, hidden in the dark cavities of soil under our lawns and roads. Invisible to the eye, like love and fear, the inter-woven ecosystems in our forests and the natural world, echo the unseen connections that bind us all.
Worship presents itself in many forms. The artists feel it, know it, interpret it, challenge it, give in to it and subvert it. These idols are real and imagined, they come from the past and the future, yet are being made right now, taking their power from the present.
The Dark Sublime, is an ode to the shadowed beauty and crucial relevance of forests and what lies beneath the surface.
Featuring artists working across installation, video, performance, sculpture, painting and textiles each artist attends to their private idol with idiosyncratic intent and treats them with a respectful recognition of something perceived to be greater than the self.
Emma Walker is a Northern Rivers based artist. Her abstracted landscapes are multi-layered, and as much about the medium of paint and the process of painting as with an experience of nature. They explore the connections between the natural world, memory and the subconscious through texture and the interplay of light and dark. Her work features in several major public and corporate collections and in private collections in Australia, Indonesia, The Netherlands, Hong Kong, United Kingdom and The United States.

Comes from the shadow Jumaadi
Official Opening FRI 13 SEP, 6PM
14 September – 17 November 2019 | Gallery 3 ‘My works attempt to become the shadow, or perhaps they originated from shadow. They are often about birth, love and death, where displacement, isolation, connectivity and separation are emphasised.’ JUMAADI Jumaadi’s practice has been informed by the traditions of shadow theatre. These works step into the dark shadows of human existence and out into the lightness of love. The iconography is endlessly evocative, seeming to embody one thing and its opposite all at once. In this exhibition, loneliness and companionship exist equally in his gouache painting of two trees, set within a wide landscape. In other works lovers embrace and deny each other, and a tree wears a wedding gown carved out of buffalo hide, a poetic representation of shifting meaning. An installation of wooden figures, some with dismembered bodies, narrate painful tragedy (the mutilation of homeless children in Jakarta). Primarily based in Sydney, Jumaadi lives an itinerant life, travelling across Australia and internationally for exhibitions. He was the subject of Nicole Kelly’s winning work, Jumaadi + Clouds + Rain from Lismore Regional Gallery’s 2018 Hurford Hardwood Portrait Prize.
Chesta Drawz and the LowBoys An exhibition of fine woodwork by Geoff Hannah and his students
Official Opening FRI 18 OCT, 6PM
19 October – 1 December 2019 | Gallery 1 & 4 Chesta Drawz and the LowBoys have built a strong following in the local area with a string of hits over the past three decades and are back for their first show in almost three years. Drawing from a wide range of international influences, including classical, baroque, folk and contemporary, this show promises to take things to the next level. The main feature will no doubt be the debut of the highly polished epic ‘Jubilee House (This Old House)’, and is bound to delight audiences young and old. Other new releases include ‘Tounge and Groove’, ‘Ebony and Ivory’, ‘Norwegian Wood’, ‘Sandpaper Roses’ and ‘If I had a Hammer’. Chesta Drawz and the LowBoys stars none other than our hometown legend Geoff Hannah, arguably Australia’s best and most loved master of the genre and unparalleled in the world today. He will be accompanied by his highly accomplished band members; Colin Fardon, Barbara Riordan, Jan Page, Sue Eagan, Ted Slattery, Lucille Stace, Rick Stewart, Sally Bates, Brian Emery, Darren Shaw, Rob Hurford, Brian Henry, Greg Foster, Paul Amour, Francesco Stassi, Gary Shallala-Hudson, Paul Laird, Wendy Laird, Paul Frangos, David Gilmore, Paul Tiernan, Carla McGuire, Marek Sojka, Tom Scarabellotti, Mike Evens and Rick Billson.

Permanent Collection: The Vicki Fayle Gallery With the recent growth and awareness of our collection, it is gratifying to see works from the collection be included in a number of important exhibitions. Coming up from June at Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art is Margaret Olley: A Generous Life and Jon Molvig: Maverick, both of which include works form our collection. Recently we had a number of works from our collection included in the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts exhibition Art from Down Under: Australia to New Zealand. Located at Appalachian State University in North Carolina, USA, this loan came about thanks to a connection through Southern Cross University, and included work by Michael Philp, Valerie Smith, Ursula Laverty and June Stephenson. Our current collection display in the Vicki Fayle Gallery includes acquisition highlights over the last 2 years. During the display of work by Geoff Hannah and his students in Gallery 1 (19 October – 1 December), this gallery will include a number of earlier cabinet works by Geoff, to complement the display of The Hannah Cabinet. We are then planning a broader collection display for the summer holiday period.
The Hannah Cabinet The fundraising campaign to acquire The Hannah Cabinet for the Gallery’s permanent collection is fast gaining pace, with $650,000 raised at the time of printing. The NSW Government’s recent contribution of $250,000 was made with the knowledge that this iconic work is a crucial item to stay in this region. This exquisite masterpiece was created over six and half years by internationally renowned and local master craftsman Geoff Hannah OAM. Crafted from 34 different types of Australian and exotic timbers, rare shells, precious stones and elaborate marquetry inlays, it is a magnificent work of decorative art. The short film A Passion for Cabinets on Geoff Hannah’s life and the cabinet is screening at different times in the Gallery and can be purchased as part of The Hannah Cabinet fundraising campaign.
Guided Tours Come and marvel at the wonders of The Hannah Cabinet and attend a regular free talk by Geoff or his students at 10.30am every Wednesday and 11.00am the fourth Sunday of the month. For the duration of The 2018 Archibald Prize, 30 minute talks will happen daily at 10:30am and 11:30am. Free Hannah Cabinet talks can be arranged for High School with Geoff Hannah or one of his trained student presenters at 11:45am – 12:45pm on Wednesdays throughout the 2019 school term. Other tours for groups of 12 or more can be arranged by contacting the Gallery.

Art On Bundjalung Market
23 – 26 May 2019, 6 – 9pm | The Quad
1 June 2019, 10am – 4pm | The Quad
Internationally acclaimed multimedia artist Craig Walsh will create a spectacular, largescale digital work in The Quad providing a multi-sensory experience of the site’s heritagelisted history as the original Lismore High School. Dungarimba Wandarahn (Lismore place of learning) is created in collaboration with Southern Cross University’s Indigenous School Gnibi Wandarahn and Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School, Terranora. This multi-art form event will layer Bundjalung language, story and song with English and text in reference to the education system provided by the school through the reflections of one of its first Indigenous students.
Art on Bundjalung Market will celebrate the creative cultural heritage of the Bundjalung region. The market will feature a combination of established and emerging Indigenous artists and collectives, employing traditional and contemporary materials including weaving, ceramics, carving, photography, painting and textiles.
‘When we came into town, we had to talk English and for me English was a second language. My first language was my language, the Widjubul language, Bundjalung.’ AUNTY IRENE HARRINGTON
The Art on Bundjalung Market will be a chance to see, experience and purchase incredible work produced by artists based in, or who have a connection with, the Bundjalung region and offer a unique opportunity to ‘meet the makers’. Along with cultural dance performances the market will showcase local Aboriginal musicians, a weaving circle and delicious food will be on offer. The market will reflect the diversity and strength of Aboriginal culture in the region. For more information or if you would like to book a stall: artonbundjalungcountry.com
This project was assisted by the NSW Government through the Heritage Near Me program
