Walking to Work, Series III, Brunswick Street by Victoria Lawson
(0 images)
On street photographic project in Brunswick Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane.In December, 2006 artist, Victoria Lawson, gave 36 commuters on Brunswick Street a letter informing them that she had taken a photograph of them as they were walking to work. The commuters always had a choice whether or not to participate, as the letter provided a two week window, and an email address, for their refusal. The photographs were taken for a photographic installation of vinyl images to be placed on columns and buildings on their regular route to work along Brunswick Street, remaining for two to three weeks. Eventually, they will see themselves and the others that surround them, from day to day, on the same route, walking to work, in this series of images placed along that route. Brunswick Street will become an informal gallery with images on the sides of buildings, in doorways and down alleys. It will become a public space that reflects the cultural and social life of the city.
Walking to Work, Series II, Elizabeth Street, was originally developed for and exhibited in +Plus Factors, an Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) exhibition in conjunction with Festival06 for the Commonwealth Games. Victoria Lawson is currently completing a PhD. in sculpture, performance and installation at Sydney College of the Arts. She has curated and participated in numerous solo, group and award exhibitions and interventions including, in 2006: +Plus Factors at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art; Our Investment at the Queensland Centre for Photography, and in 2005: Phatspace Ate at Phatspace in Sydney; Killing Time at the Soapbox Gallery in Brisbane and The Placard Project at Mori Gallery, Sydney. Her upcoming exhibitions include Walking to Work, Series III, Brunswick Street for QCP, Brisbane and Dream Merchant for Blacktown Arts Centre, Sydney.

The QCP is proud to present the work of Ray Cook, Kim Demuth, Deb Mansfield and Bruce Reynolds at Photo Los Angeles, 10-13 January 2008.
Ray Cook is one of Australia's most influential and significant photographic artists. His practice spans 20 years and is characterized by innovative experimentation with photographic tableaux and hand-toned prints. Cook is currently undertaking his doctorate at the Queensland College of Art, Griffith University, Australia, where he is also lecturing. His major monograph Ray Cook: Diary of a Fortunate Man, published by the QCP launched in October 2007.
Kim Demuth has been a practicing artist for ten years, and has exhibited extensively in Australia including a solo show at the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane in 2003. He received an Australia Council Grant for the Barcelona Residency in 2005. He has produced three public commissions in Queensland, and has been the recipient of several Arts Queensland and Australia Council grants. He works in mixed media, and is showcasing his sculptural photographic works at Photo LA 2008. Much of Demuth's work deals with silence and isolation, often through humour and surreal imagery.
Deb Mansfield has been a practicing artist for five years and has an extensive exhibition history in Australia, including two exhibitions at the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane. She has produced several public art commissions in Queensland, and was a recipient of an Australia Council New Work grant in 2004, and of the 2006 Siganto Scholarship (Artworkers Alliance). Her work deals with the littoral and the relationship between the exotic and the domestic - the intimate space. Mansfield works with different photographic materials, from sculptural installations of large-scale photographs to hand-printed palladium prints.
Bruce Reynolds is an established Australian artists, known for his photographic and sculptural works as well as numerous public commissions in Australia and in Singapore. The works presented at Phpto LA 2008 are photographic images applied onto linoleum assemblages (collages) once part of Australian households which the artist rescues from derelict or abandoned buildings. These materials are a container of everyday memories that Reynolds uses as a background to investigate urban landscapes, thus bringing together the domestic/interior and the landscape/exterior, questioning the creation of the urban space and the forces shaping everyday life.
The QCP gratefully acknowledge the support of the Queensland Department of Tourism, Regional Development and Industry, Griffith University and Arts Queensland for this project.

The Queensland Centre for Photography (QCP) will be touring Central Europe in the month of July 2006 as part of an invitation to participate in the Dom Fotographie 11th International Photo Summer School and Festival in the Republic of Slovakia.
This invitation was brokered by Anna Grega, originally from Brisbane, and now a Sydney-based independent arts consultant. Anna has been working in Central and Eastern Europe (C/EE) each European summer since 2001 as part of a long-term C/EE market development strategy for Australian arts and cultural investment.
This trip will hope to engage and develop new partnerships to foster the exchange of artistic talent between Australia, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria.
The Director of the institution Mr Maurice Ortega and a member of the Management Board Ms Renata Buziak will be meeting with galleries, curators, artists and Ministry of Culture representatives in an effort to develop a systematic dialogue between cultural institutions in these countries and Australia.
Maurice Ortega as the director of the Queensland Centre for Photography, the Queensland Festival of Photography and Lecturer at Griffith University will be looking for partnerships in the areas of exhibition exchange and educational dialogue. He will also be developing links to create a pool of speakers for seminars and conferences as part of the future plans for the Queensland Festival of Photography.The Queensland Centre for Photography is a non-profit organization that facilitates connections between audience and art practitioners. Through exhibitions, educational programs, publications and a collection, the QCP aims to increase opportunities for art dialogue in a friendly all-inclusive environment. The Centre also provides professional support and advice for the Queensland photographic art community.
“As the first foray into the C/EE market, I believe that Queensland Centre for Photography is an excellent match given its strong audience and artist development philosophy and impressive achievements to date. I am delighted to have played a part to kick-start the dialogue that will hopefully build artistic bridges and a lasting legacy for C/EE and Australia communities,” Anna says.
Maurice Ortega and Renata Buziak recieved support from the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland's Proffessional Development grant.
