Chesta Drawz & The LowBoys Tour
Friends Morning Tea
Welcome! Pulling these creative programs together can be a crazy time of confirming countless details for the upcoming six months, but it is also a time to reflect on what we have achieved over the previous six months. In terms of audience numbers, The 2018 Archibald Prize was unsurprisingly a massive boon for the Gallery. We had over 380 people each day viewing the exhibition, with 23% coming from outside the Northern Rivers. And thanks to our incredible staff and team of volunteers and gallery guides, we delivered 290 events, talks, tours and workshops attended by 7,340 people. The Quadrangle has also produced some incredible content this year, notably the large scale digital and sound work Dungarimba Wandarahn (Lismore place of learning). This work by internationally regarded artist Craig Walsh (with sound by Brett Canning) was inspired by the stories and recollections of Bundjalung Elder, Aunty Irene Harrington, one of the first Aboriginal students to attend Lismore High School in the 1950s (the site of the current Quadrangle). This project was a major collaboration with Southern Cross University’s Indigenous School Gnibi Wandarahn. The broad scope of the Quad was also evident in two very divergent festivals Playground and DARK SCIENCE. The former builds on a number of years work by the Gallery and the Quad; while the latter was a brash new exploratory festival that left audiences equally speechless and gushing for more! To that end, I would like to acknowledge the incredible work of Marisa Snow in developing such an incredible and wide ranging program since she started as Quad Placemaking Officer in September 2017. Marisa is off on 9 months maternity leave, and the team wish her well over the coming months. Brett Adlington Director 1 Opening of The 2018 Archibald Prize, April 2019. Photo: Natsky
Chesta Drawz and the LowBoys
An exhibition of fine woodwork by Geoff Hannah and his students
The Museum Project 26 October 2019 – 26 January 2020 | Gallery 2
19 October – 1 December 2019 | Gallery 1 Chesta Drawz and the Lowboys have built a strong following with a string of hits over the past three decades. Their first show in almost three years draws from a wide range of influences including classical, baroque, folk and contemporary, the highlight being the debut of the highly polished epic ‘Jubilee House (This Old House)’, bound to delight audiences young and old. Chesta Drawz and the Lowboys stars none other than our hometown legend Geoff Hannah, accompanied by Colin Fardon, Barbara Riordan, Jan Page, Sue Egan, Ted Slattery, Angela Bell, Lucille Stace, Rick Stewart, Sally Bates, Brian Emery, Darren Shaw, Rob Hurford, Brian Henry, Greg Foster, Paul Armour, Francesco Stassi, Gary Shallala-Hudson, Wendy Laird, Paul Laird, Paul Frangos, David Gilmore, Paul Tiernan, Carla McGuire, Marek Sojka, Tom Scarrabelotti, Mike Evans and Rick Billson.
Featuring artists: Barry Andersen, Darryl Curran, Robert Fichter, Victor Landweber, Bonnie Schiffman, Robert Von Sternberg, Melanie Walker The Museum Project consists of a selection of photographs by American photographers generously donated to Lismore Regional Gallery in 2016. Established by artists and curators Robert von Sternberg and Darryl Curran, the project promotes the collection and exhibition of contemporary photography by art museums and universities internationally. The collection provides first-hand access to a multitude of photographic ideas and approaches, creating a resource for the public, including the next generation of photographers. Images span from the 1970s to the present day.

The Alchemists: North Coast Woodfire
Official Opening FRI 6 DEC, 6PM
The Partnershipping Project 7 December 2019 – 2 February 2020 | Gallery 1
Official Opening FRI 6 DEC, 6PM
23 November 2019 - 26 January 2020 | Gallery 3 Featuring artists: Bill Brownhill, Bob Connery, Geoff Crispin, Suvira McDonald, Dennis Monks, Malina Monks, Tony Nankervis, Kerry Selwood, Geoff Stirling, John Stewart During the 1970s, the Northern Rivers became known as a hub for woodfiring, a process of ceramic production that involves continuous firing, sometimes over days, feeding timber into a handmade kiln. The reason for this convergence is difficult pinpoint, but it may have had something to do with the price of land, the presence of likeminded people, and the attraction of the area to the romantic hearted. The Alchemists brings together 10 master woodfirers who came out of this flourishing. They have each spent 30 years in the area working with clay. Their practices, though they involve the same basic combination of elements (clay, air, heat, wood, ash, and time), could not be more diverse. They range from the fine, controlled work of Geoff Crispin, to the baroque eccentricity of Dennis Monks, the geometry and esoteric symbolism of Malina Monks, and the sensitivity to colour and flux of Tony Nankervis. The exemplary works in the exhibition have been sourced from the collections of Lismore Regional Gallery, Grafton Regional Gallery, and private collections, including those of the artists themselves. 4 Malina Monks Cycles and seasons 2003, salt grazed stoneware, 43 x 67 x 1cm, Private Collection
Featuring artists from the Lismore region: Penny Evans, Hiromi Tango, Karla Dickens (with contributor Leigh Arnold) and Aris Prabawa; the Townsville region: Gail Mabo, Anthony Vanghoua Vue; and Tasmania: Selena de Carvalho, David mangenner Gough The Partnershipping Project was conceived to link regional artists, regional galleries and regional audiences to ask: ‘Does Place Matter’? The result is an exhibition, curated by Pat Hoffie with associate curator Rosemary Miller, that is redeveloped in each regional location as new artists join. The project has become a series of iterations that explore the effects of ‘globalised’ thinking and the impact on changing relationships to ‘place’.
The Partnershipping Project is a Burnie Regional Art Gallery exhibition toured by Contemporary Art Tasmania. Burnie Regional Art Gallery is supported by the Burnie City Council and is assisted through Arts Tasmania by the Minister for the Arts. Contemporary Art Tasmania is supported by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its principal arts funding body, by the Visual Arts and Craft Strategy and is assisted through Arts Tasmania by the Minister for the Arts. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Visions of Australia program, the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body, and by the Contemporary Art Tasmania Exhibition Development Fund.

Blinman Slag Grayson Cooke
Official Opening FRI 14 FEB, 6PM
Media Studies Bennett Miller
1 February – 5 April 2020 | Gallery 2
1 February – 5 April 2020 | Gallery 3
Blinman Slag is an art/science exploration of mining slag waste from the Blinman Copper Mine in the Northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia.
Media Studies continues Western Australian artist Bennett Miller’s ongoing thematic interests in human behaviour as it is expressed within groups; and the many complicated relationships that exist between humans and the natural world.
Examining slag from historical, geological, mineralogical and cultural perspectives, the exhibition by Grayson Cooke explores the strange beauty of mining waste as a window into the enormous forces humankind exerts upon the earth. These forces are immense but frequently rationalised within narratives of technological progress or economic necessity. While anti-mining activism uses public action and protest to draw attention to the negative environmental and social effects of resource extraction, this project takes a different approach, seeking new ways to manifest and image the changes wrought upon the earth by human activity.
Official Opening FRI 14 FEB, 6PM
This exhibition is a series of new video works and small sculptures, many of which remix or repurpose an existing aspect of popular culture. One example is an edit of the reality television show Survivor that is chopped down to feature only the moments in which an animal appears on the screen. Media Studies is further exploration of Miller’s process driven art, whereby it is used to research and define systems — thus the title is borrowed from a typical high school subject. Local audiences may be familiar with Miller’s work through his five-year presentation of a fake Amish community, Barnraiser, at Splendour in the Grass, which was initially presented by Lismore Regional Gallery.

RocoColonial 15 February – 19 April 2020 | Gallery 1
Official Opening FRI 14 FEB, 6PM
Dissonant Rhythms Ross Manning
Official Opening FRI 24 APR, 6PM
25 April – 14 June 2020 | Gallery 1 Featuring artists: Brook Andrew, Tony Clark, Peter Cooley, Deborah Kelly, Belem Lett, Jennifer Leahy, Danie Mellor, Marc Newson, Técha Noble & Romance Was Born, Joan Ross, Justin Shoulder, Esme Timbery, Jenny Watson, Louise Zhang, Renjie Teoh (cartouches) Rococo and Colonial are often considered to be disparate, undisputable categories that neatly divide periods of time. This separation offers little opportunity to consider parallel histories — how similar or different things might be happening elsewhere or at the same time.
Spanning the past decade of Manning’s practice, Dissonant Rhythms was originally presented at the Institute of Modern Art (IMA) and has now been reconfigured to tour across Australia. Dissonant Rhythms is curated by Aileen Burns, Johan Lundh, and Madeleine King.

RocoColonial examines the overlap between Rococo and Colonial and begins by acknowledging that both can be intrinsically related and link Australia to a wider, speculative world of multiple, concurrent histories. The exhibition features artists and designers, who in their varied practices are destabilising the dream of Australia Felix (the lucky country) and whose material and conceptual language opens up the paradigms of the Rococo and Colonial to contemporary reinterpretation and re-engagement.
Dissonant Rhythms is Brisbane-based artist and musician Ross Manning’s first-ever survey exhibition. Best known for his use of everyday materials, Manning’s exhibition features sculptures that repurpose ceiling fans, fluorescent tubes, and overhead projectors. Propelled by electricity and their own kinetic forces, Manning’s work engulfs the entirety of the spaces they exist in, capturing viewers in mesmerising experiences with light and sound.
An artist-initiated project by Gary Carsley. Artist & Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Art & Design UNSW. RocoColonial is a partnership project developed and presented by Hazelhurst Arts Centre and Bathurst Regional Art Gallery.
A travelling exhibition organised by Institute of Modern Art (IMA), toured by Museums & Galleries Queensland. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body, and supported by the Visual Arts and Craft Strategy, an initiative of the Australian Federal, State, and Territory Governments. The IMA is a member of Contemporary Art Organisations Australia (CAOA). Ross Manning is represented by Milani Gallery, Brisbane.

Defiant: Never Alone Solid Together
Official Opening WED 8 APR, 6PM
Permanent Collection: The Vicki Fayle Gallery
11 April – 21 June 2020 | Gallery 2 & 3 Defiant is a multi-disciplinary public art project aiming to disrupt risk-taking behaviour in young people from Lismore and the surrounding areas. For the past 12 months, participants have been taking to the streets, and in workshops at the gallery to create large scale photo/text paste-ups, zines, moving images and pop-up dance performances. Led by Beyond Empathy, and in partnership with Lismore Regional Gallery, Defiant aims to use public art to combat ways of thinking that may be contributing to the devastating rates of suicide in the region. Led by a team of established and local artists including Abdul Abdullah, Jade Dewi, Wizz, Jessar, Hannah Brontë, Gilbert Laurie, Oral Roberts and Kiki — young people use film, visual arts, photography, music and movement to share stories of their lived experiences, reclaim their voice and overcome feelings of powerlessness. This project aims to begin a conversation between young people and their broader community, and in so doing create stronger support and recognition of their perspectives, ultimately leading to improved wellbeing outcomes for young people.
While our collection has been growing steadily over the last few years due to the generous donations of work, without an acquisitions budget it can be difficult to strategically grow our collection. This was made evident recently when a stunning work by Will Ashton of a scene of the hills around Bangalow came on to the market. Thankfully, the Friends of the Gallery were equally enamored of this work and supported its acquisition. It is rare to see an historical work so close to Lismore and in such good condition by an artist of Ashton’s stature. Our collection has only a few early works of the immediate region, and the inclusion of this in our permanent collection is certainly a highlight. It depicts the changing landscape around Bangalow, and of particular note is the denuded landscape that has changed so much in recent years. However there is still an air of familiarity in the shape of the hills, the colour of the grass, the contours of the river bank and colour of the clouds and sky. We are currently researching an important exhibition of historical works of the wider region, which we are greatly looking forward to sharing with you soon. For people interested in contributing to the collection, support can be in the form of cash donations, donations of artwork or gifts of work made through the Cultural Gifts Program. If you are interested in donating, please contact Gallery Director Brett Adlington at brett.adlington@lismore.nsw.gov.au
