Four exhibitions

Centre for Contemporary Photography - CCP, Fitzroy

Just a Girl
DONNA BAILEY
(Gallery 1)

Featuring twenty large-scale photographic prints, Just a Girl is part of an ongoing series of documentary images portraying Bailey's own children and their domestic routine. Exploring portraiture and family photography genres in relation to contemporary debates around imaging the child, Just a Girl challenges traditional relationships between photographer and subject through an emphasis on collaboration and the non-objective lens.

Not Only Skin and Fabric
FASSIH KEISO
(Gallery 2)

Over recent years, Keiso's practice has examined tensions between current Middle-Eastern and Western perceptions of the body and sexuality. Working with a range of different media, Keiso collects and connects 'traditional' Arabic elements (in relation to the body) with technologies like video, sound, slides, photography and computer imaging. Keiso's Not Only Skin and Fabric installation creates a sin-bin environment of irony and spectacle, where distinctions between Eastern 'tradition' and Western 'contemporary' morality and art are blurred. Keiso interweaves sound and translated text, Arabic song rhythms, taboo video images of the fragmented human body, and a documentary of Arab dancing in North East Syria (the place of Keiso's birth). Note: A performance will take place at the opening from 6:30pm.

Presented in association with the L'Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival Arts Program

____________

Stalker
MARIA PULERA
(Project Space)

US photographer, performance artist and writer Maria Pulera presents a mixed media installation documenting her personal stalking experience over a three year period. Heralding the stalker as a troubled icon of female strength, Pulera aims to rescue this figure from its tabloid/gossip column connotations and to advocate on its behalf as a dignified professional. Offering an intriguing insight into the self-determination and border zones of obsessive-compulsive behaviour and featuring interview footage with real female stalkers, Pulera promises 'a personal polemic of coming out as a professional stalker under fire¦ the truth behind my desire...'.

____________

Sequence
SHANNON WINNELL
(e-Media)

Sequence is an interactive CD-ROM artwork that examines the ritualistic, almost subconscious nature of the everyday movement, and how we flow through constructed spaces. These typically disregarded or forgotten movements are presented as beautiful and fluid - and fundamentally worthy of our attention. The work features seamless loops of human behaviour as a finite way to display the infinite, and also uses loops to display the rhythmic beauty of repetitious movements. The loops are created with animations, QuickTime movies and digital photos, as well as sounds and motion graphics, that the user can explore and alter.

Opening Thursday March 6, 6-8pm

Hours Wednesday - Saturday, 11am - 5pm

Speakers: Anita Beaney (photographer), Justin Clemens (writer, lecturer), Susan Dimasi (fashion designer, lecturer, curator) and Fabio Ongarato (graphic designer) will address the catch-cry that fashion photography is no longer about fashion, and fashion no longer just about clothes!
