Vivid Impressions of The Towers

Photography by Jasmine Orwe

My love for photography stems from appreciating the stillness of a moment, when in time, ones mind is free from the chaos and madness of what’s happening around us. When I am photographing, clients or other subjects, nothing else matters – it is my happy place. Photography also allows me to see things differently and in my photos I like to challenge the viewer to do the same also. We’ve become so busy that we often forget to appreciate the simple things in life.

Wed-Sat 6pm to 9pm

STARRY STARRY NIGHT… photography by Craig Collins ONSCREEN

STARRY STARRY NIGHT

photography by Craig Collins
ONSCREEN exhibition

1 June to 2 July 2017
in the Bank Foyer

“I’ve always been interested in the night sky, and I still have some great early memories of my brother taking photo’s of Halley’s comet using a telescope and SLR film camera during the early 1980’s. More recently I’ve had the chance try this for myself (using a DSLR camera), and these photo’s are result of the sharp learning curve I’m still undergoing while experimenting with this new hobby.

Charters Towers has the advantage of clear night skies for most of the year, and besides viewing deep-space objects, and tracking the occasional asteroid, I’m also involved in a small number of “Citizen Projects” including the hunt for new comets and the search for planet nine in our solar system.

For the tech-minded, my main equipment includes a Skywatcher 100mm refractor telescope mounted on an EQ3 dual motor drive, coupled directly with a Nikon D3200 camera. Wide view photos are taken with anything from an 8mm to a 50mm prime or 70-300mm zoom lens, with a range of Baader film / UV filters for daytime solar photography.”

Ad Wer: Story of the Stars from Eastern Torres Strait 31 May - 25 June 2017

Ad Wer: Story of the Stars from Eastern Torres Strait

An exhibition by Tommy Pau toured by Umbrella Studio contemporary arts

 

Ad Wer: Story of the Stars from Eastern Torres Strait is a body of linocut print artworks by Tommy Pau based on the constellations and the science of astronomy used by eastern Torres Strait Islanders.

Torres Strait Islanders observed the stars to govern their cosmos; to navigate, to plan, to plant, to study symbiotic relationships of space and time. This tells them when to hunt, plant seasonal foods and perform timely annual ceremonies.

Pau sourced his information from casual conversations with elders present, elders past and ethnography works on the Torres Strait. The intent of this exhibition is to preserve, educate and provoke future studies on the science of stars Torres Strait Islanders used in their cosmology.

Free entry.   31 May - 25 June 2017

Gallery Open:  Wed-Fri 10am to 2pm ;  Wed - Sat 6pm-9pm ; Sat + Sun 1pm - 5pm P 4761 5430|4761 5541

filmed in HD and screening in cinemas worldwide.

• GOYA: VISIONS OF FLESH AND BLOOD 

FROM THE NATIONAL GALLERY LONDON

1.30PM SUN 27 MARCH 2016

"Francisco Goya is Spain’s most celebrated artist and considered the father of modern art. Not only a brilliant observer of everyday life and Spain’s troubled past, he is a gifted portrait painter and social commentator par excellence. Goya takes the genre of portraiture to new heights and his genius is reappraised in a much-anticipated landmark exhibition at The National Gallery, London. The film uses this exhibition to look in depth at Goya’s eventful life."

• RENOIR: REVERED AND REVILED

FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION PHILADELPHIA  

1.30PM SUN 24 APRIL 2016

• PAINTING THE MODERN GARDEN: MONET TO MATISSE

FROM THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS LONDON  

1.30PM SUN 5 JUNE 2016

Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse looks broadly and deeply at the garden theme in modern art through paintings by Claude Monet and fellow Impressionists, Post-Impressionists and avant-garde artists of the twentieth century. A centerpiece of the exhibition is the reuniting of Monet’s great Water Lilies (Agapanthus) triptych depicting the artist’s water garden at Giverny. A new contextual understanding of the importance of gardening and gardens in the development of modern art is provided by a sweeping survey of more than 100 paintings by masters such as Édouard Manet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, John Singer Sargent, Joaquín Sorolla, Vincent van Gogh, Edvard Munch, Wassily Kandinsky, Emil Nolde, Pierre Bonnard and Henri Matisse.

portrait project charters towers - exhibition open now at The World Theatre Charters Towers

An exciting initiative begun in 2010 by photographer Karen Tenni, participants were selected or nominated from Charters Towers Residents (approx 8,500 in the region) and cover a broad spectrum of professions, ages and cultural backgrounds, providing a diverse study of Australian regional life. With the support of the Regional Art Development Fund (RADF) - a Qld government and Charters Towers Regional Council partnership, the project culminated with an exhibition at the Don Roderick Gallery in October 2011 as celebration of the first part of this project.

Charters Towers is a regional town 130km inland from Townsville in Queensland. Main industries are mining, cattle and education, with a broad range of support services and organisations.

The Charters Towers Portrait Photo Project comprises of digital environmental photographic portraits of significant and interesting residents in the Charters Towers region.

Each participant chose to have their photographic portrait taken in one of three locations (work, home or play); answer a few questions about their life in Charters Towers; and introduced or suggested another resident they think will add significance to the project.

Stage 2 will begin soon... do you know someone who should be immortalised ? Someone who makes a valuable contribution to the community, and is not usually recognised?

If you would like to be part of this project, please contact Karen Tenni on 0409 005 085, OR email karen.tenni@gmail.com OR private message on facebook OR complete the nomination form in the World Theatre gallery.
