Fine Washi Art Exhibition by Gigi Muto

By on September 30, 2018 in

Fine Washi Art promotes traditional Japanese fine wash art. Established in February 2012 in Adelaide and developed with assistance from various partners, Fine Washi Art has grown within a short period of time.

Taking up flamenco dancing as a hobby introduced her to the wondrously coloured embroidery of the flamenco dancing shawl and saw the birth of a blended passion: her joy in the dance and in the beauty of the colours of the dancing costumes. In the field of traditional Japanese fine arts, hand-crafted paper, washi, (treasured for its range of textures and colours) offered Gigi a means to further explore her passion for colour. Through her work as a beautician, her passionate connection to flamenco dancing and its colour, her deep aesthetic appreciation for the exquisite range of texture in washi paper, Gigi has developed as an independent artist in the field which she calls Fine Washi Art and in which she is gaining a high level of recognition.

The Art of Bonsai : A Demonstration and Talk with Rob Hatcher

By on September 30, 2018 in

As part of our series of special events for Edo Style: Art of Japan (1615–1868), The David Roche Foundation is proud to host Rob Hatcher, one of the leading horticulturalists from the Botanic Gardens of South Australia, for a practical demonstration and talk on the Japanese art of Bonsai.

Over the course of the event, Rob will demonstrate some bonsai pruning, training and repotting techniques as well as the creation of a new bonsai. Then, to complement this practical demonstration, Rob will also give a talk on the more common styles of Bonsai and provide a short history of Bonsai, which will tie it to the Edo period. It was during the Edo period that the Bonsai came to prominence in Japanese culture and the west came to be introduced to it.

Please note: Tickets to see Rob Hatcher also include entry to Edo Style: Art of Japan (1615–1868) from 1–2pm on the day of the event.

Starstruck: Australian Movie Portraits

By on September 30, 2018 in

Friday 14 September — Friday 30 November 2018

A collaborative project between the National Film and Sound Archive and the National Portrait Gallery, Starstruck: Australian Movie Portraits reveals never-before-seen stories of Australian cinema. Through photographic portraits, candid behind-the-scenes shots, rare film posters, casting books and original costumes, Starstruck celebrates the past and present of Australian film—including watershed moments in cinema and iconic visions of Australian life—and also offers a glimpse into the experiences of the actors and crew. The exhibition explores how cinema portraiture can create a bridge between the magic of a movie’s fictional worlds and the realities of filmmaking.

A National Film and Sound Archive of Australia and National Portrait Gallery exhibition supported by the National Collecting Institutions Touring and Outreach Program, presented by Samstag Museum of Art for the 2018 Adelaide Film Festival.

Molly Reynolds & Rolf de Heer: The Waiting Room

By on September 30, 2018 in

Friday 14 September — Friday 30 November 2018

Time begins, ends and goes astray in The Waiting Room. It is the place between ‘before’ and ‘after’. A place where realities converge and diverge. In The Waiting Room, we are transported to that place, where the elusive yet exacting nature of time reveals itself.

International award-winning filmmakers Molly Reynolds and Rolf de Heer, together with visual designer Mark Eland and sound designer Tom Heuzenroeder, present a cinematic installation in five dimensions, traversing the audio-visual realm through space and time. Continuing the Samstag Museum of Art’s series of moving image commissions in partnership with the Adelaide Film Festival, The Waiting Room is Reynolds’s and de Heer’s first foray into creating work expressly for an exhibition context. Matching technical dexterity with conceptual depth, it promises to push the boundaries of the cinematic experience.
