Sugar Mountain 2012 – Visual Artists

Dec 21, ’11 2:34 PM

Main Event: Saturday 14 January 2012 – The Forum Theatre, Melbourne Sugar Mountain Satellite Events – Thursday 12 January to Saturday 21 January 2012

VISUAL ARTS PROGRAM

Curated by artist and Creative Director Pete Keen, the Sugar Mountain visual arts program will feature a select group of forward-thinking, contemporary artists from near and abroad.

Complementing the Sugar Mountain Festival, held at the Forum Theatre in Melbourne on Saturday 14 January 2012, will also be eight inspiring satellite events – spanning film screenings, exhibitions and art installations.

In 2012, the visual arts program taps into the aesthetic epicentre of cross-disciplinary mediums, with the vision to weave visual art, new media, dance, film, and music, finding the common thread that ties these creative forms. Sugar Mountain is looking at the union and juxtaposition of organic and mechanical process in artistic methodology. The selected local and international artists will exhibit a positive integration of old and modern methods of art-making.

Tom Blachford – Aotearoa

Dec 12, ’11 3:44 PM

Tom Blachford – Aotearoa‐ A Photographic Exhibition
L’Unico Gallery, 323 Bay Street Port Melbourne
Opening night 6pm, 15th December 2011
Open 11am ‐5pm daily from 16th – 23rd December 2011

Tom Blachford’s exhibition Aotearoa is comprised of carefully selected photos taken across three trips to New Zealand, where he explored the rich and surreal landscapes. The environment is represented in an abstract way to allow the viewer to define their own interpretation of these pristine areas.

Blachford first discovered his passion for photography whilst studying business at RMIT. He then deferred his degree to pursue photography whole heartedly. He has since worked on major campaigns for MTV New York and United Colours of Benetton, traveled with one of the world’s greatest street artists and been published in Magazines around the world.
